The average these days is 30% to 40% skim to trades, which I think is too much. I try to keep mine under 25%, plus I don't skim from the first few gallery clicks.

The higher the productivity of your incoming traffic the lower the skim percentage needed to maintain and grow your trades. Lots of debate about how best to do that, but like anything else it usually comes down to having what the surfer is looking for. I spend more time looking for fresh niche promo galleries to list than I do any other single task.
