Traffic trading philosophy? Productivity/Hits.
 

I wonder about "productive" traffic sometimes.

For example two site send 100 hits each and both have productivity of 300%.

Now break it down like this:

Site one: 100 surfers clicked 3 links.

Site two: 50 surfers clicked six links.


Is site one more productive?
I think so.


Example two:

Site one: 100 surfers clicked 3 links.

Site two: 10 surfers clicked 30 links.



Hmmmmmmm......??

Well, I guess noboby gives a shit about that one.:1orglaugh

*bump* for more opinions!

I think it sounds logical, the traffic in those two last examples must suck bigtime!
CJ'ing traffic like that wrecks the productivity for everyone!

I would prefer always the 100 surfers with 300% prod because that value seems real... 600% prod is very strange and not very usual, not to mention about 3.000% prod (30 clicks).
In your example with 30 clicks per surfer it's most likely to be a cheat. Hope your trade script is able to block those... the mine does :)

Mathematically both trades would get the same priority to get some traffic from you (assuming you are using the so called pure productivity trade method that most trade scripts use), but most trade scripts will flag excesibvely high productivity as cheat (and usually it is).

In any case... as long as they buy their productivity is ok. Surfers are productive only if they buy :)
