(for a new site at least) Then to top this off you are trying to do text and Thumbs and it just is not working with your design.

2) You just have way too many links all over the place, adds and so on.. stick to galleries for now. You are trying to build a skimmed TGP, You don't want to have a bunch of links all over the site that don't go to either a gallery or a trade. Right now trades should be your biggest focus. Because you won't make crap until you have traffic.

3) Shemp is right 50% is crap. 70% IMO is the sweet spot for a skimmed site. You may send more traffic out to trades with 50% skim but the traffic is crap. Skim 70% and only trade with sites that skim 70% and up. Your traffic will be 10 times better and your trades will like you more.

Using the above advice I set this site up yesterday, and it's trade productivey is 3.95% coming from my own TGPs. (the skim is at 65% just to get it started)

I've had this site sitting around for quite some time doing nothing with it, the site was only about 50 hits a day. I went live with that set up yesterday and haven't fed it any traffic at all. I moved the few trades it allready had to the new page and it's at 250 hits today. Now that's nothing I mean whoopy 250 hits, but the thing is it grew by 250% in less than 24 hours so that tells me the site is productive and it should do well once I start sending it traffic.

BTW that's the most design I've ever had on a site, I typically stick to very, very simple designs. Surfers are there to see porn not flashy designs.
