I was using perm links with no gallery skimming on one of my sites. It was OK, but I never saw the bookmarkers grow at a rate that validates that theory. Which was surprising to me, as I expected my "old school" site to suck up the bookmarkers from my trades with all my gallery skimming buddies. I also spoke with a few of my friends, and I found that my traffic was not in the Zilla/Shemp range of awesome productivity. So I said fuck it, and redid the site with gallery skimming. The two biggest differences I see from doing this are
1)I can now trade with some non-niche sites. With no skim, they had just shit prod, in the 0.20 or 25% range. Now they are usually around the 1.2 or 120% range.
2)I don't have to re-sort the trade layouts to accomadate a new trade. Gallery skim and random outs only is a lot easier. It lets a trade blow up without me having to babysit it for the first few days.
