I just had #1 link at one of top 10 tgps in the world. I made a grand total of 1 sale. So this got me thinking.. So maybe these guys are making $5k per month, maybe $10K, maybe $15-20K... but more than that? Really doubt it. TGPs seem to be big bandwidth wasting machines.. and the actual $ return from them does not seem to be that high at all.

What do you think?
Just because you couldn't sell to that site's traffic doesn't mean it isn't worth infinitely more than what you made from it.

Also don't confuse the "big" new thumb tgp's who say they have X-million hits a day with the old school sites like The Hun, Worldsex, AL4A, etc etc.
You're talking about two totally different types of traffic there.
English speaking bookmark traffic is pure gold.
