Hey fork, well thought out thread, lemme answer.

Indeed. I knew that well enough, which is why I only sent a few hits to begin with.

Frankly from Scroto's responses I'd never trade with him, his attitudes are common but he's not demonstrating much of a "give a shit" when it comes to being fair with his trading partners.
Pretty much sums it up.

Quote:

However, I dabbled in traffic trading for awhile and quickly learned that there's a thousand scammers for every honest trader. To thrive in that game you have to be cynical, suspicious, and have an itchy trigger finger. Which means that it's generally not worth it for a small traffic generator to trade with the big boys unless you know them and know they have a fair rep (like, say, Shemp does). It's not that they set out to cheat you -- I'm sure Scroto's honest in his own mind -- it's just that they have been cheated so often and so badly that they don't really give a fuck if they happen to cheat random strangers in the name of protecting themselves. Especially when the random strangers are sending such tiny volumes of traffic that the economics really shouldn't matter to anybody.
And I fully understand that, and it ain't news, and it's why I kept saying, dude, just man up to it and forget about it, what the fuck. Back on page 1 all over.

Quote:

What I learned when I was starting out and trying to trade my initial tiny trickles of traffic was that you just have to throw trades at the wall to see what sticks. Try a new trade, send your traffic, monitor the returns closely, write the traffic black holes like Scroto on your blacklist, and move on. It's not worth drama, you're just looking for trading partners who value your traffic. You'll find some eventually.
Yup. He wasn't my only trade by all means.

And yea, you have to throw shit around see what sticks. I'm lucky that I have a strong project with big traffic to throw around. Some noob, especially if buying his start-up traffic, maybe can't afford to throw it around as much. Which is why I've started the thread in my sig - The State of the Skim.

That, and in general the attitude that 1. he's doesn't give a shit, 2. he's too cool to have to give a shit and 3. he can icq people to come post here and look like asshats too.

I remember when I used to feel that way. Then I ran a niche TGP for awhile. What I learned is that there are so many scammers, lamers, and freaks out there that it's IMPOSSIBLE to communicate with all of them. You can't find a polite way to say "no, piss off, go away, what part of no didn't you understand?" a thousand times a day, and there's NO MONEY in it for you if you could. You just have to silently delete / ban / ignore all the ripoff artists. Which means that once in blue moon you'll get a bewildered letter from an honest but clueless person going "why did you delete me and not say anything?"

My policy was to fix those "screwups" of mine and be nice about it, but I was small and the volume was rare. If I were dealing with 100k scammers a day and got 100 honest-but-clueless emails, I'd have to ignore those too. It's simply not possible to process them all.
Yes, listen. The guy doesn't have more traffic than I do. He's not, like people try to pump him here, some sort of anything. He's a 2nd or 3rd rater trying to make it just as much as anyone.

At any rate. Cheers and good luck.

Sites that skim to the point where their productivity is less than 10% are a dime a dozen. And some people wonder why they can't make $1k/mo off of 100,000 hits a day... hm.

Forkbeark FTW.

Everything he said was dead on the money. Trading traffic is a all trial and error. You got a lame trade, its not shocking or drama worthy, simply the way the game works.

Trust me as your TGP grows you will have increasingly less tolerance for small trades too. You will simply look at stats and delete or allow. Simple as that. Its not personal it's business.

Just move on.

:2 cents:

Enough with this small trades bs. I got more traffic than voyeurpost, and I got better traffic than voyeurpost. Really. So forget that already.

You are an ungrateful little twat.

There are some of the giants in the TGP biz (shemp for ex) trying to give you free helpful advice and help you along. I do know a little something about TGP's myself and also tried to assist you, as did forkbeard with his excellent well informed posts.

However you still grind this angry little ax over 210 hits.

Let me restate that - 210 hits. That's barely a fart in this game.

So go on big timer with your triple digit trades and bash on those who know what the fuck they are doing and trying to help.

I usually hate to see newbs fail...... usually.

:disgust

With your incessant whining, I highly doubt it.

Baddog, you don't read too good, seeing how you still have to grasp the point of the thread. Maybe pictures work better with your brain.

Why not post a real graph
http://i13.tinypic.com/63hbz8j.png
One site has had steady numbers for over a year. Where as you site just got started less then a month ago.
http://i6.tinypic.com/6ewhssh.png
Cheap ass feeder traffic could produce numbers better then that.
You can go back even more and see
http://i10.tinypic.com/6h2jel5.png

One site is branded, your's isn't. Voyeurpost has been around since '98, your site could be built in 10 minutes.
You still have a lot to learn.
Not to mention you're on one of the worst hosts possible.

Fluffygirl, sometimes it's best if you just listen to everything everybody is saying.

Your MayorsMoney stats shows that out of 100 clicks sent, only 3 clicked on a join. That's VERY low.

Nowadays ALL traffic trading scripts will send traffic based on produtivity. That means that the script will see the % of surfers that you sent that actually clicked on a gallery from the other site you're trading.

Based on the Mayors Money stats you posted, your produtivity SUCKS. I know you probably won't like to hear it, but it's true. That's the reason your trade got deleted. That's the reason why Voyeurpost script didn't send you traffic back.

You still have A LOT to learn on this game.

People that rely on Alexa as an accurate means of determining traffic make baby Jesus cry . . . and have a lot to learn.

Can I just say for the record, that in general, you are the most arrogant douchebag on this board.

Why don't you start another thread about the domain business to demonstrate the magnitude of your ignorance.

I'm sure that in your mind you have a twisted delusion of grandeur, thinking that you know how to ''play the gfy drama game" to your advantage. Little do you know that this place and what goes on here is but a tiny spec in the universe of this business.
