No my point is so many seem to be happy to give up a lot of traffic to send to PR for so little return it's shocking. Why not stick a redirect onto the domain, an hours or 2 work and send the traffic to their premium site?

I understand people are doing nothing to very little to get the traffic and this proves Roald wrong, it is easy to get traffic. Still if this is the best they can do with the traffic, then that's sad.

PR, well if the best they can do to generate the traffic to sell ad space with their content. Then fine, it's their content, they paid for it and this is the best way they can earn money from it.

If this is a glimpse of the future, then maybe after the pirates are squeezed I can turn my paysites into Tubes and sell the traffic to you. At the moment we're probably doing better than the ratios hare with our traffic. That I do nothing to get.

Maybe you will have to buy content or the price of ad space will reflect the cost of the content generating the traffic.
