If you have a decent trade script you shouldn't be forcing at all unless it's a to a new trade.. and even then in a perfect world the trade would force back and be productive for both parties.

Increasing your outbound prod is a tricky business. In theory, the better your internal prod is the poorer the outbound prod. If surfers really like your site and click a lot .. they're not going to click as much if they get to a site that isn't as "good" as yours.

You have to pick your trades wisely. If your site uses 88x88 thumbs you'll probably send better traffic to a 90x120 site. If your site is 90x120 then try to get trades that have bigger thumbs etc. Make sure the sites are similar than yours or even better. If your site looks like teeniesxxx you'll probably get tons of clicks but if you send those clicks to a crappy looking site they won't click much there.

So the best advice I have to screen your trades carefully. Make sure your trade partners load fast, have lots of content, and different content than you.

Oh and the advice about making sure that you're not trading with the same trades that all your other trades trade with is a good tip. If you send your surfer to a site he's already been to many times over he's not going to click much there.
