TGP trading strategy questions
 

Hi I am James and I recently got into this stuff about 2 years ago on the side. Along the way I have partnered with different characters to learn as much about this biz as possible. I've learned enough to get PR but I am lacking on the strategies of traffic. I know all I should have to do at this point is write good content for keywords. Well aside from that I would like to get a massive amount of TGP on the site. I guess my main questions are how many different ways can TGP be setup and what has everyone found to be the most successful? Where is a good source for obtaining the galleries and is it better to have a single thumbnail from different TGP sites with the trade urls to generate this exponential wave of traffic?

Another question I have is about bartering services. Is it worth it to trade traffic for graphics and such? My graphics guy has been looking for more ways to get people to his site and we have been wondering if him taking the time to produce a custom graphic for other services tends to be worth the time. My thinking is it just depends on the site your trading with and the level of devotion into the graphic.

Me and my partners ICQs are in the signature. I am the first. chatting through there and on here is cool with both of us.

Thanks in advance. :thumbsup
