TGP traffic trading tips and fraud flags - GoFuckYourself.com

BradM · 10-05-2006, 08:57 AM

I'm not new to the industry by any means, but one thing I have never really got into was owning my own TGP. Considered everyone here always advised me "There's no money in porn" I elected to stay out of that game entirely.

However in running a blog, I considered putting up some skimmed thumbs to attract some new traffic and get some flow going.

I was successful with this method and wound up trippling my traffic over a few days. However I did notice one thing - there was a considerable amount of:
A) Fraud. Bot clicks
B) Sites I would sign up to, send traffic to and never get any back from.

This is most frustrating, and I wanted to hear your feedback on how you combat those two things while growing your traffic.

Careful management of your incoming traffic via shields, a good traffic trading script (I'm absolutely loving ZT right now), and manually checking over site stats/logs for traffic leaks...

Good times... good good times.

Trading traffic is a fucked up situation.
Unless you know who you are trading with you can count on bullshit.

There are ay too may hit bots out there. I just deleted 20 sites from one TGP two days ago and it didn't even affect my traffic because they were hit bots.

Fuck trading traffic. Spend your energy on getting traffic other ways and it will pay off much better and for much longer.
