Thumb TGPs are a dime a dozen now days, and though you have a clean layout, maybe it is too clean... nothing really there that says "I want to stay and / or come back to this site". Not insulting, just giving my opinion.
I think I would all ditch all the tittie and ab shots and replace them w/ faces.
Finally, check your trades... may be getting hitbotted.

Thank you for your sound advice, I really appreciate it!
The skim is incremental as you go down the page from 90%-60%. I'm not sure why you would go to trades everytime you clicked. I have only 2 forces setup now, and they are only of 10/hour each, so there would be no reason you should get booted to trades everytime. I will have to investigate this.
It is true that it is clean layout, maybe too-clean in fact. I have thought of hiring a designer upon multimple occassions, but have opted not to everytime. The reason I do this is because there are quite a few dialup users out there, and usually closing a page outweighs waiting for it, in these kind of cases imo. It is true that it heavily reduces the orignality and uniqueness of the site, and that very well may be a reason for low bookmark traffic. However, I am still undecided as far as going with a designer.
As far as the thumbs, a few of my partners and I have all noticed that "action-thumbs" as I like to call them, get more clicks. I have found that face thumbs usually bore the surfer unless it is a very hot girl. Then again, who am I to say what does good?
I will be checking my trades, but because I am using a free script TTT (eventually going to purchase TM3) I am limited on the anti-cheat features. This very well may be the case, and If so then I am in-debted to you.
I appreciate your advice Lycanthrope, thank you.
