A trend I noticed about the traffic trading board
 

There seem to be more threads now about people searching for hard link trades than there are about people searching for traffic trades. A couple years ago it was a rare occurence to see a thread about hard link trades.

Has TGP for the masses really become that bad that people are trying to make some money off of SE?

Or has all the buzz about SE attracted more people to it?

Probably just the buzz around it on this particular board. Still seems like 1000 new tgps open every day.

There's no money in search engines, anyone trying to get into it, get out now.

Tgp's are getting out of controll and all thes people that have like 100 or more site's what the fuck for? It just seam's worthless to me!

All my tgps were built outta hard link ... Way more stable traffic from that kind of trades ;)

Unless those 100 or more sites all focus on a different niche, I totally agree.

If/when I build a TGP, my trades will be hard link, but I won't search GFY for traders....

I get a couple hard link requests every day and I just laugh. It's always been someone trying to improve their PR and why should I help them out. I had one guy asking me to link to him and even though his PR was 1 better than mine, he didn't even rank in the top 10 for any "real" search terms.
