Before I quit the business and began anew, among other sites, I operated a TGP for about a year. I touched upon trading traffic for a short period of time. I did not seem to get an influx of traffic or an increase in sales so I dropped it. I never did like the use of a blind link in the first place.
Upon reflection it seems to me that trading traffic is circular and the same traffic is being pushed from one trading partner to the next.
This may drive up your hit counters, but what is the point of pushing the same traffic around? Is the point much like a CJ site; piss off the surfer from being misled by blind links so that he will signup for a paysite?
Maybe some of you will take the time to educate me about the benefits of trading traffic, and also the downside of trading traffic.
Thanks
