    If the stats could be known, I wonder if more traffic is generated by text links than by the thumb sites. Then again I'm clueless about a lot of things. Just looking at the Alexa numbers for all the big text link sites and I believe.

    Shemp makes a good point of the miss-use of sponsor content. As stated by others, few seem to complain. If your read the TOS of most sponsors and take it literally it would seem a real violation.

    To get traffic up most have to use a trading script. That's click fraud. We all bitch about exits, redirects etc. Yet it is an everyday thing to use the redirect created by a trading script.

    You have to have a fairly large site from a traffic point of view (100K +) to setup decent trades without sort of redirect. Quality does go up, that is for sure.

        Would you also lose 90% of the revenue?

            Or they keep clicking it to see if they get to see that gallery. I see a description or pic I want to see, I'll click through several trips to a sites trading partners with the hope......

                Text or Thumbs

                Thumbs are pritty and get lots of clicky.

                I am old school text. My sites are text driven. I would swap 10 pic clickers for 1 text clicker any day of the week.

                The industry is swamped with fake over skimming thumb tgp's and this hurts the few non skimming quality thumb tgp's that are out there.

                You have to communicate with your surfers via text. Text controlled surfers are much more productive. Thumb links are best used to get rid of shite traffic.

                Traffic arrives from se's and link lists via text and if you are smart you will continue the journey for them with text. It is the only way to build trust and capture loyal bookmarks.
                Cheers

                    There are a ton of skimming text TGPs out there. So whats the difference?


                    You have to communicate with your surfers via text.
                    A picture (thumb) speaks a thousand of words.

                        the plan here is to run both, some like text, some like thumbs. If they dont understand the text, they will understand the thumbs.
                        Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                        think about that

                            that's the best idea - i'm actually in the process of creating a thumb based version of one of my text tgps - will be interesting to see if things change at all...

                                The question should be if you were starting out again would you go the text or thumb route.

                                                Even if he lost only 10% of the revenue, still not worth it.

                                                    Most countries where I get my sign ups are English speaking, but I figure for the point of productivity and traffic is to get them to click and look. This is a good example of getting sponsors that have geo targeted sign up pages. Is there such a thing?
