I say trade with similar sites. I don't trade with sites that have consoles or dialers, or clean sites that have a bunch of CJ trades (CJ feeders).
One issue with sending surfers to a popup hell (either directly or indirectly) is that your site is probably still open when they get hit. Normally, the surfer could return and click a couple more times on your site, but if they get caught by a dialer or their comp crashes because of the popups it will actually reduce the productivity of the trade that sent the surfer to you.
It's a bit hard to explain, so here's an example...
- great_trade_a sends you a surfer
- your script sends them to not_so_clean_trade_b
- the surfer gets an exit console hell when they close that site
- their computer crashes
- since your site is gone, the great_trade_a surfer will no longer click on your site, which reduces the potential productivity for that trade
I've actually had this happen with a trade that had a hidden dialer. It caused my overall prod to dive significantly even though the traffic he sent back was productive itself.
