Na Slick I don't think your starting shit.. I know your sites and I wish I had the amount of traffic you have. I'd love it if I could trade with you because of the amount of traffic you have, however those kind of sites never work with mine..

You are clearly playing the numbers game and it seems to be working well for you. My main gripe with the start of this post, I guess was more about people that can't read.

On my trade page I have this.. "At least 70% to galleries No more 60% and lower" yet when ever I leave it open, it's almost guaranteed that at least 1 to 2 sites a day will sign up that skims in the 50% range.

See myself I'm all about that productivity. I don't keep a trade that isn't productive on my sites. I don't like doing unique trades, especially when their traffic doesn't click, which is typically the case for me on high skim trades.

The main problem I see is everyone and their brother is caught up on having a 200k a day site. They are unwilling to take a little time to grow it.. so they skim at 50%,40% and I've even seen 20% to make a big bandwidth burner. The sites might grow very fast but the traffic is crap IMO.

I've seen it a few times, I'll have a good trade going, then next thing you know the guy is trading with one of these big high skim sites that takes over the top list. Next thing you know, the trade goes to crap because the traffic from the bandwidth burner doesn't click through. Seems like more and more of these sites are popping up everyday and diluting the traffic pool of quality traffic.
