Another reason, sure your trade script understands it's poor traffic so youre only sending a few hits back now but when you get enough traffic because you have good productivity (200%+ - which you should be aiming for closer to), you'll start oversending all trade partners which helps grow your site.

At that time, oversending that trade partner will happen. Which is something you want to avoid.

Can't grow if youre oversending people that cannot send you the quality back. If theyre sending you a few clicks off 50, that'd mean they need thousands of hits to give you a 100 clicks. Are they even big enough to be able to do so, even if they are, its not the traffic you want (it wont convert) - Also that means they'll be placed in your toplist and other trade partners will view your toplist before trading with you and seeing garbage trade partners in your list will deter them. Poor trade partners means bad outgoing prod


Another reason, not always the case, if youre getting poor prod, you probably send better prod to them because if their surfers come to you and dont click, its usually because they prefer the 1st site, so if you start sending your surfers there, they'll stay there and bookmark it. This is a common occurrence when tgps trade with tubes. Tubes send the lousy prod to tgps and tgps send all their traffic to the tubes to bookmark it and not return

Replace it with a better site. Trade with sites that look similar to yours / operate in a similar manner
Wow finally a great answer, thanks a lot
