Fewer Large Trades Better Than Many Smaller Ones?
 

Okay, I'm in a hurry to post this as I'm leaving the house soon (so I probably wont respond tonight) but I was wondering what your opinions are on big trades vs small trades and the quantity thereof.

I have many small trades at the moment, but recently I've been thinking of dropping a few (their prod hasnt been too good for the last couple weeks) and using the new traffic to send to a bigger trade.

Does this sound like a good idea? For example, would you recommend two 100 per day trades vs ten 20 per day trades? Why or why not?

Also, does the productivity of larger trades tend to be higher or lower than that of smaller trades (in general)?

I'd really appreciate some advice before I start this little venture...:thumbsup

Thank you,

would depend who you are trading with, is it a blog, a babelog, a forum, text tgp, thumb tgp. what % are they sending to content.

I have noticed that many of the larger trades aren't as productive as the smaller trades.I would change your ratio and still keep the smaller ones

You just have to drop the bad ones that's all... and yes if a trade goes well you can make it grow... try to make it bigger ;)

Well I'm mostly talking about a text TGP of mine. I usually trade with other TGPs (text & thumb). Most of them send around 70% to content, 30 to trades. Do you think a blog would perform better in general? (as far as productivity)


Spunky: Yeah, I was kind of thinking that may be true. I'm sure some of the larger sites have tons of mediocre traffic, while the small ones have a few highly productive visitors.


Doctor Dre: Thanks man...I've been trying, but 90% of my trades aren't workin out for me...I guess it's just trial n error though.


2HousePlague: I'd never heard of that theory before. I guess the only way to find out if it applies or not is to try out a couple bigger trades.


Thanks for all the help fellas! To everyone else: I'd love to get some more opinions on this if you've got the time. :thumbsup
