Taking The Piss

Hey Geoff, after you register you should follow through with sending them an icq message too, just to make sure, that's what I always do when registering for new traffic trades

Agreed, but best to wait until you've sent some traffic.

I get hit on ICQ frequently by guys that just signed up for a trade, haven't sent a click of traffic, but are asking "please activate". Invariably it's a garbage site with shit traffic.

I'd guess that I end up approving about 1 in 3 trade sign-ups. Which is why many just have the sign-up form closed and require you to contact them for a trade.

Sounds reasonable! And what does "productivity" mean?

264/138 = 191% productivity
