They would have to make a script to rip the url from every single trade script. People like to encode their links these days so people don't have an easy time stealing there galleries. As you know even on the skim free TGPs links are still connected via the trade script. I would say that wouldn't work.

My guess is that the amount of skimming TGPs has reached the limit, and the only way to get more surfers into those networks, is by "stealing" from the clean sites. But that would be difficult if the clean sites stops trading? It's a bad circle. I followed the development for years now, and its really disturbing. Just take a look at the trade forum and you see what I mean. Everyone is focused on PR and skim percents. Personally I dont bother about others, but I'm not really happy about trading with skimming sites. I prefer 10000 happy surfers to my sites, than 20000 pissed ones :)

It makes surfers distrust the format, and it does you no good.

Dirty Dane, I'm not saying that skimming is good, but with my setup, I'm doing well with the skim. If it was up to me, I'd have my skim to galleries set at 90%, but from a traffic aspect, it'd take a while to grow it unless you blast the hell outta it with feeder traffic for a while.

As far as your comments about making $1000 off of 1 million visitors goes, How much total traffic do you have and how much do you make off of it. I'd rather make $1000 off of 1 million visitors than $400 off of 200K visitors.

I do honestly believe that it's the first time visitor to your site that's gonna give you the best shot at making money, not the person that comes to it day after day after day. If you wanna believe differently, then that's fine with me.

In time, I'd like to send more to galleries because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that more traffic to galleries equals more sales, but it's not easy to do when you're used to the traffic that you're getting. I guess that on the plus side, it'd be a hell of a lot easier to take a high traffic site and increase the traffic to galleries than it'd be to try to start out a new site with higher gallery %s.

I'm not here to start shit, I expressed my opinion and it seems to have stirred people up. I'm doing excellent here with my methods, if you're doing good with your methods, that's great to hear, I'm always happy to hear about others making money in this biz because we're all in this together :winkwink:

The Bravo media group is another bunch of sites that are high skim but they know what they are doing and are making money. I can't trade with any of them for the life of me because of productivity issues. However it seems to work for them.

My personal opinion is these sites are more CJ'ish than TGP'ish, mainly because of the high skim ratio's. However when looking at both Slick's and the Bravo group's sites, seems it can work out well. I guess it just depends on personal preference.
