How many 100k a day TGP sites would be around today with out traffic skimming? If you don't like the traffic from sites that skim why do you submit galleries to them? I mean really if you follow the logic that traffic trading with hosted galleries is cheating.. Then if you use sponser provided content, and submit to sites that skim then you yourself are cheating..

Sending clicks to another site does not get the submitter more traffic at all. If there was no skimming and everything was hardlinked and done properly there would be 100% of clicks going to the gallery. On skimming, and don't lie here guys, there are only 2 for every 10 clicks making it to the galleries on average. It all evens out with the lower traffic numbers the tgp itself gets with no skimming trades. This has been proven 1000's of times. I would get 20 times the traffic from small hardlinked tgps than huge skimmed tgps
if there was no skimming, there would be just as many 100k a day tgps. the lazy webmasters would not have tgps, the ones with time would build up 100k a day tgps and we'd have better quality traffic, less deceptions and more trust from surfers.
That's all besides the point.
My point is this.
Why is it ok to use someone else's content to send traffic to another tgp? it's not ok. Just becuase the whole skimmed tgp model relies on it doesn't make it right. however, submitters have to submit to them if they want any traffic at all because more and more webmasters are becomeing lazy or just don't have time to build upon a legal and properly done tgp model. it's a catch-22 that there is no real solution to.

it's my opinion and that's that. If you people don't agree, then don't agree. but don't call me a hypocrite because I know what's right and wrong. I would still submit to skimmed tgp's. it's traffic, what choice would I have when there are only 10 hardlinked thumb tgps left that arent charging 500 dollars per listing. However, I would never, personally, use content I produced to do such a thing. if sponsors want to sit idly and let it happen to their content, then so be it, it's their choice to make and I appreciate them letting submitters use their content for such uses. it's still wrong though. This doesn't make me a hypocrite.
