Why trade traffic?
 

I am very experienced in mainstream and its not done there. Why is it standard practice in adult to trade traffic? I don't really get the benefit. You lose traffic to gain an equivalent amount of traffic. Hmmmmm?

There are quite a few mainstream sites that trade or sell traffic either with a homepage link exchange or a links/partner page exchange or by using an ad network to sell spots. Personally I don't trade or sell traffic on my mainstream or adult sites. I buy a ton of it though, just prefer to circle all my traffic to my own network linked on each property.

To trade traffic is to grow your site quicker, period, Ive been doing this for 15 years and no way compares, oh and plug rush is slow your site down and drag down your sites productivity with its i frames

when i was working more as a webmaster, i didn't trade any traffic, because you have to control the qualilty. The trading scripts available are good, but you must always have a look.
I used my time to do more SEO, and get backlinks....

Trading traffic helped me getting my TGPs grow very fast and keep it top ranking for long time. No other traffic sources, just SE (google) and the trading links.....ah wait, and the gallery backlinks....i forgot....Trading traffic pays
