I think G4G trading should be based entirely on equal payouts from the sites that are being greened.
That is really the only reliable, equitable way to do it. That way, if there is a small difference in the payout amount, such as $10.00, one trader can make it up to another. I don't think it has anything at all to do with the offers done.

This is why you need to research the site before you decide to g4g. I always look at the site and the offers I can do before I agree to the trade. If it takes you 3 or 4 and the other person only 1 or 2 that is your decision whether or not you think the trade is fair if you can live with the fact it will take you more than the other person then do it, if not then don't.

I have a very strong opinion on this actually. When someone looks at a supposedly uneven trade based soley on the cashout amount, their decision is based on greed and illogical thinking. They in no way can stand for the other person to make more money than them. It's greedy and in the long run it ends up hurting their bottom line. What I mean by that is the only thing you should be worried about is how much YOU are making. For example, I may ask you to do my site that pays $60 and yours only pays you $40, because you never looked and got so irritated by the request you didn't see that it only would cost you a couple bucks to green my site (for the sake of arguement we'll it would be 6 bucks) and for me to do your site it costs me $25. (the last Trainn I did was over $32) Anyway, $60-$26= $34 and you paid $6 - $40= $34 you made exactly the same as I did. In the case of the Trainn you would have made more than me. Never assume just because the value of the site is the same that they are equal! That is just foolish and you WILL lose money that way. It always MUST be based on what it's costing YOU and what YOU are getting out of the deal. It really has nothing to do with other person at all as long YOUR profit is large enough you should always do the trade. If you don't look however, you will never know!

The offers we choose to do are up to us. The cost of the offers should not factor into a green for green trade. The value of the cashout is the only way to make it fair.

The good thing about freebie trading, if both parties agree on certain terms for a G4G trade, put it in the trade manager, then it is all good. We can trade any way we want.

Exactly! Thank you. I am glad this thread is here because I have the hardest time finding anyone willing to g4g based on the offer pay outs which is really the only fair way. I have, like many, a very limited amount of offers I can do so it can be very frustrating when a newbie wants to g4g based solely on the amount of offers each of us has to do. This, hopefully, can shed some light.

And you know what I'd love to know????????? Where in the hell-o did they get that idea???

I mean really....let's use some common sense. I like say, Direct TV offer, which is gonna cost me monthly and well and you like a $5 ring, a bargain shopper deal for a buck and another $2.95 quickie of some kind.

Now, we are both working a $40 site yet it's gonna cost ME $29.95 a month for a long time. You, on the other hand, are getting off with what, less than $10 yet yes, you did do 3 offers to my 1.

Riddle me this...why should I...the one spending some serious money...be penalized in any way for only having ONE HIGH dollar offer to work vs 3 lil ones that 9 will get you 50, will get canceled anyway?

Hmmm...I mean really...we have no business doing trades that involve either the amount of offers needed or the cost involved or anything other than....what does the site payout per referral? Most certainly...if two folks are crazy enough to write it out in a trade manager that Jane will do 4 offers and Jill will only do 3, then so be it...but well...I just wanna know...where are they getting these ideas???

lol...and are they gonna pay their referrals per the number of offers they have to do...OR stem the payout from what the site pays...hmmm....curious...lol...always curious:)

[gsw]

Just my thought about this. I don't see where it makes any difference about how many offers are done by each trader as long as the cash out amounts are agreed upon. To me, a newer trader is going to have more and cheaper offers to choose from so how can the trades be of equal amounts. Besides it could take an awful long time to get the offers to come out even. Maybe even never. Like I say, just my thoughts here. I think I'ts like monksmom said, just a little differently.

[monksmom]

lol...pretty much the same, George, and so right...just no way to ensure everyone would have the same offer(s), amount of them or the offers themselves, so....we just stick to the cashout value of the site and keep that even:)

[monksmom]

There seems to be many a new trader romping around our forum here lately...and many new threads being added to the green for green arena, so...perhaps this is a good thread to bring back up:)
