 <WRAP caution>Dynamic skimming is an advanced feature for expert users with specific requirements. Before you start using it, you should carefully read and understand everything about "basic" [[te3:skimming|skimming]].</WRAP>

-==== Description ====
+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 temporarily 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.

 To **enable dynamic skimming** open "Tools / Dynamic skim" pop-up, check ''Enable dynamic skim'' option in the toolbar and <color red>set at least one condition</color>. By default, dynamic skimming module is disabled.
-It is always advisable to [[te3:interface_manager|enable]] ''Skim %'' and ''Skim pattern'' columns in the Overview menu, when you are managing skimming.

 Note that including ''Bookmarks'' could temporarily increase your ''Clk T'' but you also run a serious risk of loosing (at least some of) those Bookmarks in the long run (you increase the chance they will get redirected and decrease the chance they will get to the content and they probably won't like that).
-''Even if skim value is 100'': if skim value is set to ''100'' there is a 100% probability, a surfer will be sent to galleries. When you enable dynamic skim ''Even if skim value is 100'', you reduce this probability by a specified percent (see examples below).

+===== Existing conditions =====
-To add a new condition, click on the {{:te3:add_button.png?nolink|}} icon in the "Existing conditions" table, specify new condition and click ''Save'' button. You can add as many conditions as you like, but probably you will need just one or maybe a few. If you will add multiple conditons, they will be processed in the same order as they appear in the "Existing conditions" table (from top to bottom). If multiple conditions are fulfilled, skim value will be dynamically adjusted based on the first condition. You can change priority of the conditions by dragging them up or down the list (use ''Drag'' icon).

 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...).
