Yeah, skimming can be bad as it can turn surfers away.. But then if everyone is skimming, where will they go?? hmmm.. To thehun, worldsex etc. etc. (see my last point). But like most things, there are "good" ways of doing it and "bad" ways. There are pros and cons.

One of the main reason for skimming is to get "fresh" eyes on your ads. It's a way of getting surfers to "find" your site that might not otherwise. i.e. It's a marketing technique that can help brand your sites as well as filter traffic around.

Skimmed sites are also highly useful as "feeder" sites to send traffic to your clean site. But very few people figure this out and so all they do is set up skim sites and don't develop a nice clean site. So.. How many people run skimmed sites and are acting as feeders to other peoples clean sites? If you're one of them, why aren't you feeding your OWN clean site???
