trading question

[alex79]

hi,
what is better: trading with a more productive site who send less hits back or trading with less productive site who send more hits back?
for example: Site A: IN 2000; OUT 1200; PROD 60%; Uni Sent: 1700
Site B: IN 400; OUT 370; PROD 92%; Uni Sent: 550




in general is better to try send more hits to the productive traders from who constantly i receive less traffic than i send (this in ideea to increase the trade) or to more productive traders from who i receive more traffic back (but not so productive traffic)

thanks very much for yours answeres and opinions/advices

prod is very important but i gotta tell u 95% sux

divide UNI SENT by OUT.. whichever trade has a bigger number, thats better

Site A: 1200/1700 = 0.705
Site B: 370/550 = 0.672


site A is better in this case

...and yeah, if the number is less than 1, then the trade kinda sucks

Just to put this in more simple terms - if the above number is under 1.0, then the trade is causing your site to shrink, not grow, and unless you can get it above 1, you should get rid of it.
