2. Don't force to trades other than to send them a few hits to get the trade started. If you send 100 hits and they don't return any, just turn the force off. Forcing to trades other than for starting trades is the biggest mistake you can make. If the only way to keep a trade alive is to force to it, then it's not worth keeping.
3. A trades productivity is not as important as you may think. The "Q" factor is most important. IE
Trade A you sent 1000 hits to him, he sent 1000 back and 1000 clicked on your site. His productivity would be 100% and His "Q" is 1.00
Trade B you sent 1000 hits to him, he sent 250 back and 750 clicked on your site. His productivity would be 300% and his "Q" is .75
I would take trades like A over B any day all day long. What really matters is how many hits did you send a trade in order for him to send back enough traffic to produce X amount of clicks on your site?
4. Don't sit on your stats all day refreshing them. Sheer will is not going to make your stats any better. Spend your time making more TGP's , galleries, or whatever it is you do best.
5. Don't delete trades because their traffic has low productivity. Go back up and read item #3 above. I only delete trades that do not send me any hits in a 24 hour period.

Yup I have to totally agree on this,and have been using this type of logic for about 5 years.Too many production hounds that panic and drop you if you arent over 100%.Yes that would be great in the real world but locating such fantastic ratios is very rare nowadays.I drop trades constanly and just find new ones daily.If they send me traffic and somewhat decent they are in until they decide not to send me any.As long as they are somewhat productive then no problem..Let em ride...Yea you get "well your traffic is shit that you need bla bla production to be sucessful in order to grow" Then all the power to them finding those productive trades,yes they are out there but I dont have time to search for weeks on end just for a trade.I would rather have a small site then.
