-If traffic on your site decreses for one reason or another (server issues, bad set of thumbs, off-peak hours...), you can give it a little push to normalize it again. One way of doing this, is by temporary sending part of the traffic, that would normally be sent to galleries, to trades instead. If trades get more traffic, they also send more in return, hence overall traffic on your site should increase. "Dynamic skimming" module can automatically adjust skim values on your site, based on the conditions you set.+If traffic on your site decreses for one reason or another (server issues, bad set of thumbs, off-peak hours...), you can give it a little push to normalize it again.

 You should always bear in mind that traffic flow to your site will never be constant. Dynamic skim can certainly be useful, but we strongly advise you to use it carefully - don't try to even out traffic flow, this feature is primarly designed to help guard against extraordinary events (temporary server problems, network problems...).    You should always bear in mind that traffic flow to your site will never be constant.
