On Quality Trades - I give up! - GoFuckYourself.com

RMG · 10-13-2002, 05:44 PM

I run a nice little movies post and I'm having one hell of a time finding decent trades. Most of the quality sites that I wanted to trade with told me 3 weeks ago that I didn't have enough traffic. So, I went from doing 2k per day to doing 15-20k per day in 3 weeks. Now that I have the traffic, I'm sending most of my trades 150-200% returns with very little to show for it. Through extensive networking and long icq chats, I've secured a few good trades and some just by pure luck. How the fuck do you do it guys? I'm stumped here.

Any msg board with posts about "trade 1k+ with my site", you know right away that the poster is 99% of the time, full of shit and has no traffic. So can anyone give me any advice here?

I've noticed moviepost link trading has been down this fall compared to prior years. last 2 years before this, there were more tgp webmasters than you could shake a stick at. Most of the signifigant movie post sites out there these days arent interested in breeding more competition ... YES more moviepost == LESS money for you. so if you wanna trade w/ ppl these days your gonna have to get bigger via trading with smaller sites, absorbing their bookmarkers and then forcing bigger sites to trade w/ you.

you might wanna do some galleries or something... more money in them anyway (unless your thehun or something) =)

very insiteful and I myself had come to the same conclusion....after hours upon hours of browsing other movie sites I've noticed that the top ones are actually a very small, closely conected circle. Only problem with smaller sites is that one day they're here, the next gone...hate having to replace 10 trades a day that only send me 50-100 hits.
