You know your a new guy when....

[sonic]

It's so funny to see these guys who have been trading traffic for like a month come out and say "the whole point of circle jerking is....."

Did you read a book somewhere that I haven't seen?? You can ignore the advice of people that have done this much longer than you if you want. But I don't think it's really that smart. I posted that message long ago just to try and shed some light on things. But it seems that many of the new traders ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW. hehe

Even I don't claim to know everything. I just tried to point out a couple obvious things. (At least to me)

There is a lot more to this than making your counters go high. (But even without 50 popups I can still make my counters go high) And there is a value to bookmark hits whether you guys believe it or not. I guess if you want to keep your bandwidth down. Whatever. I'm in this to make money and I know I'm gonna pay a hunk at the end of each month for bandwidth. That's why I have to keep some kind of quality in the traffic I trade with. If you don't think there is any difference. You are flat wrong. Multiple popups are for trading with toplists I think. Who would want that kind of traffic for a CJ (I always say Traffic trading page.) I don't know.

I don't think anyone should be cheated. But it does seem that many of the new guys are hard to deal with. Like I say they already know everything there is to know. (Even though I never heard of them a month ago ;)

Please don't even reply to me directly (Or if you do use email or ICQ please). I don't feel like having a flame war on this board.

Oh yeah.

Let me just say to the people that seemed to have listened to my rant and are trying to find a way to change what they or others are doing.

Someone suggested that i lay down some rules that people could follow. I thought it better to let people talk about it try to decide for themselves. This is the only way something like that can work. You can only control your own sites and which sites you will be trading with. But this can be used to create changes. The rating system idea could be useful as a guide. (If someone is willing to update it) But the thing to do is make the changes to your site. And who you are linking.
