I've been building a traffic trading script for a TGP network I'm working on, but there were a couple of things I don?t quite understand so was hoping a few of the guys who understand the mechanics of some of the existing scripts might be able to help.

When people set up a trade, and they send you (using easy numbers) 50 raw clicks and only 40 of them are unique, are they expecting;
a. Just 50 raw clicks back or;
b. 50 raw with 40 unique back or;
c. Just 40 unique back?
This is probably the one I?m most worried about as I don?t want to be sending too few or too many clicks back because my logic is wrong.
When logging clicks to galleries, is every click logged? Or just the ones that skim out? Either way, if you have a network with say 20,000 hits each day, and each one is clicking away at say 15 galleries, the size of the archive database is going to be going up by 300,000 rows each day, which seems like a lot.. Is this how everyone does it, or is there better way to process this?
I've seen 'Productivity' calculated a few different ways, both with raw clicks and unique clicks, which do you think is the best way to measure it?
Is a skim of say 60% calculated just by a random number between 0, 60? Or is there a better way of doing this?
Do you recommend dropping any clicks that look like bots and not logging them, or is there better way not to leak traffic?
It seems like most trade scripts work off 24 hour windows, so what is the best way to handle a situation where a site may have sent 50 clicks and you have only sent 40 back by the end of the day? Should this 'debt' roll over to the next day or just reset?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I think about it but, hopefully some people can help me out or at least point me in the right direction, once I understand this stuff building it is easy, but I just want to get it right the first time.

Thanks!
