Here's a question ZZ, or rather my scenario. I'm kinda on the verge of giving up, i know it hasn't been long but I've done the maths on my site and it seems that when my feeder traffic runs out my trades will all die.

Lets say my feeder traffic elevates me to a situation where I get 1000 uniques from trades daily. When my feeder traffic runs out that is all I will have, 1000 per day. So if I get 200% prod on that, its 2000 clicks. Now, first clicks to galleries takes away half leaving 1000 clicks, 65% go to galleries leaving 350 to go back to trades. That means next day I only get roughly 350 back from trades at 200% prod that 700 clicks, the numbers decrease each day.... my trades will be dead within a week or so.

Now lets say I switch first click to galleries off, so that from the first click theres a 65% skim to galleries. 2000 clicks per day, 65% to galleries leaves me with 700 clicks back to trades, next day 700 back, again trades are decreasing.

All that doesn't even account for surfers lost to cyber space or lost to the 2% skim to choker.

If I have first click to galleries switched off I calculate that I would need 360% prod on incoming traffic from trades just to stay at the same level, and for any kind of growth I would need at least 400%.

If I switch first click to galleries back on, I need a whopping great 600% prod to sustain and 6005+ to grow.

Is 400% possible from incoming trades? Is that the secret, having a really high prod or realistically do you have to keep the feeder traffic coming contantly or have anothe source of traffic?
I notice that your site really does look shit-hot so I imagine that you get decent prod but can you really get 400%+ and keep it there?

Or am I missing something very important?

Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, your guide is fantastic, and very accruate even a year after it was written. But as you said yourself, traffic trading is the place where people will fail and that is certainly where it gets difficult. (and getting my head round comus was not breeze!)

I did have plans to make my site look better to increase prod, as it's not great, but after doing the maths I decided to put it on hold until I have a lot of spare traffic of my own to feed it. I didn't see the point in developing it any more unless I can get over 400% prod on incoming which seems very high.
