I'm wondering what other traders think about this. Personally, I don't trade g4gs based on the cash out value of a site. I've had a few people say 'no' to a trade because they judge by cashout.

Example. I need a ******** site. 1 offer to green, $50 per ref. I find a site that takes 1 or 2 offers to green but it pays $30, and the trader says no. I think g4gs should be based on an equal number of offers. Just wondering what others thing.

The general rule I have seen followed is cash out Amount should be equal. Although I understand what you are saying. Perhaps looking for trainn, ******** g4g's might might be the way to go. Also you could always pay the person with the $30 site $10 to make it even cashout wise.

Let me just say that you should just do G4G with someone you can trust and those traders who had gone through that process with good feedbacks. I also agree that it should be equal in every aspect since it's called G4G. I could be wrong but that's just my opinion ^_^.

How can you determine how many offers it will take to green a site? Trainn and ******** both have 1-ref options, but you're not required to take them, and if you're not interested in any of the remaining level A offers, you'll need to do 2 or 3. Nearly all entry-level sites have 1-offer options, usually LunarPages and frequently Video Professor as well.

Short of telling your partner which offers you expect him to do, which is worth a perma-red from any network, there's no sensible way to organize such a trade.

Offers amount vary so much from site to site, but rule of thumb is that sites with the same payout amount will usually take about the same number of offers to green. Remember, it's up to the person to decide what offers they will do. They could choose to do one big offer or 4 smaller ones.

You may want to save sites that are all only one offer to green to trade with someone looking for a similiar site. Such as a trainn site.

Happy trading!

Nobody said I would tell them what offers to do, but it's common sense to look at offers before agreeing to do a site. If I need a ******** site, I always say 'if you choose an account with referrals, it'll only take you one offer to green.' There aren't any TraInn sites I can do, and no ******** offers I can do anymore, so in order for me to do a g4g I should do a $50 site for 5 offers?

I just personally think that each person should look at the amount of offers they'll need (based on which they've done and which are available on the site) and talk about it and set up a trade from there. Not just say no cause they think I'm trying to rip them off cause my site pays more.

While it is true that most people set up g4g trades using the cash out value of the sites as the main basis for whether the trade is fair...if that doesn't work for you...then there is no reason not to do things a little differently...as long as both partners are upfront & agree to the terms, then it is ok....It is just the easiest way to determine the fairness of the trade is by the cash out value....when you get into basing it on the number of offers you need to do, it is going to be a lot more difficult to come to an agreement & a lot more difficult to find people to g4g with.

[spadeslover]

I agree that as long as you are upfront about the cashout amount, uneven cashout amounts are ok, if both traders are okay with it. I think people should take into account that trainn is going to take you awhile to cash out, whereas the standard sites you can cash out with 1-2 greens. So I think doing a $40 site for a trainn is absolutely fair. But a $30 site I agree you should offer your trader a minimum of $5 paypal to make up that difference.

I havent been doing G4G yet but just some thought just in case some people dont know.. is that for canadian traders you dont always get to see the offers u have available for that site until you sign up to it. So when i go to a site and view offers, i see ALL of the offers. I dont get to clikc on it to see if itll accept my location or say "not available in your country". Some will say (US< CA) but most of the time, even those CA sites will still not work to certain areas in canada. But without this hindrance, im sure it would be wise to check the offer first to get an even trade when u go G4G. Just my thoughts

Even though one site many take more offers(according to which the referral chooses) trading referral for referral is strictly based on the Payout of the site and nothing more.. I do agree that each trader should look at the site, view the offers, and see if it is the right one for them before the trade is set..

I personally liked G4G trading and had much success with it when I began.. Just be fair and honest and base it on what both traders will be paid after all is said and done..

Here is a link for describing fair G4G trades.. This may help:
