Question ...

[NylonMichelle]

thanks, that makes sense. I recently bought some traffic for my site and I think most was coming from TGP or something like that. I use Google Ananlytics and I could see that the time this visitors spend on my site was 5 seconds max. Other traffic usually stays an average of 2 minutes... so what is TGP traffic good for? Do the visitors actually join some where finally?

That depends greatly on just how targeted your TGP traffic is. 90%+ of my income is from my 4 TGP's. My aggregate conversion ratio from that traffic this year is just over 1:700. So to answer your question, yes some visitors do actually join sites.

maybe my site is too much niche focused ... the join rates I usually have is 1:200, but the traffic is from boards, pic posts and banner exchange, so it is very targeted...
