You know, there are a lot of other sites that have these "mostly-free" little trade scripts that pretty much just track all incoming hits and it ranks the top referrers accordingly. Now THAT type of script would be a time-saver in my thinking. I mean, not having to manually rank your referrers every few days would really save time for a guy like me for sure, so I honestly have no quarrel with such sites. It's the 100% scripted sites where the webmaster thinks the almighty script is infallible that I take issue with.

I'm beginning to have little patience with sites like this, that say they've set my return ratio at 150% or more, yet I see my site's standing on their site in good position, and on my tracker I see only a fraction of the hits coming back. It ain't right, and it sucks with great big lips.

Aside from ranting about scripts, I'm also pretty fed up with webmasters that just don't seem to do what they say they will. I mean, do you not WANT more hits? Are you not trying for more good quality traffic? If not, what the hell ARE you after? So many times I give up on a trade wondering if a particular webmaster is just braindead or what? (especially when my emails go unanswered)
Duhhhh. bye.

I believe that it isn't scripts that make good trades, it is communication between actual webmasters that keeps good trades going. If I see a major problem with my top trades, I'll send email asking about it and what we can do to fix it. Let's see a script do that.
