Agreed All traffic converts just that it must also make a profit and since there is like 5 times less buyers at most skim brokers compared to 1-2 years ago, then maybe it is overpriced.

I can make profit on skim also Jakez but it is very marginal right now and way too difficult overall. I think most of the traffic that is not sold is sent back isnt it?

Maybe it is better to sell 3 times as much in a day at 60% of the price. (1.8 unit sold vs 1 unit) Seems a waste all that traffic is not sold.

But that is where my contribution ends. I dont have knowledge on all the other factors such as IF any of the real premium traffic IS siphoned off to the owners as hinted in this thread.

It prob is. Wouldnt you take it if you owned a big skim broker network. It is all based on productivity and redirects so it would be easy to take the best productive traffic.

But even that doesnt matter if in the end of a cmpn you make money on a well honed site. You can hitbot me 20% if the other 80% makes money.

But the nature of a skimmed surfer generally makes ratios into the 1:10,000s which at almost 1/2 cent per visitor is just too high to make money.

Which is what I am waiting for Jack Sparrow to post.. $$$ made.
