It's a pretty sad state of affairs.

I think a lot of people have forgotten the key ingredient here.... the people.

"Traffic trades" have gotten so out of hand that most people would rather get 1000 "uniques" that they can send off to other sites, rather than 100 "people" that they can send off to paying sponsors.

Sure, you've got more people to your tgp with these "trades" but you're losing out a lot more... not only lost to other sites, but lost in respect. It's a small world and people will gladly avoid your site or any site with a similar name for fear of being attacked like this.

I can handle my pc pretty well, I know what to look for and I know how it all works... and even I can't put up with this crap anymore. It's just not worth clicking a link on any of these sites any more.

That's pretty sad. No wonder tgp gets such a bad rap these days.

It's also no wonder that some sites like SleazyDream and Shemp do so well. They don't forsake the people in the name of higher traffic numbers. They give the people what they want and don't mislead them.
