 Using "niches" feature will enable you to target your traffic, which should increase the productivity of surfers you send to your trade partners (external productivity) and consequently also your (internal) productivity.

 Naturally, you primary goal is to increase your traffic but distributing surfers to niche-trades exclusively could prove counterproductive in certain situations - consider your unassigned trades:
-Example:<color grey> ''tradea.com'' is not assigned to any niche. It is sending you traffic and is placed on your "outgoing list" based on the ''Owed'' ratio. Your skimmed traffic is being distributed to niche-trades, although their ''Owed'' ratio is significantly lower than that of ''tradea.com''. If you don't return traffic to ''tradea.com'', trading with this trade will gradually decrease and eventually stop.</color>

 We have integrated **two different options** of what TE3 should do when the click on a link containing a niche parameter ''g='' is skimmed:
-=== Include trades from ===
+==== 1. Include trades from ====
 TE3 will calculate a "mini outgoing list" based on the parameter you choose:

 Each time a surfer clicks a link on your website, this information is stored inside a cookie. When he produces a skimmed click on a link containing a niche parameter ''g='', he will be sent to a trade based on the "mini outgouing list". And this trade will be removed from the list (based on the cookie information). When he produces another skimmed click on a link containing parameter ''g='', he will be sent to the next trade from the respective "mini outgouing list". If your niche is assinged only a few trades, there is a chance a surfer could visit all of them, if he produces a lot of clicks. You can specify, where you wish to send him next:
-  * **Reset and start over:** after a surfer has visited all trades on the respective "mini outgoing list", reset cookie information. The next skimmed clik on a link containing a niche parameter ''g='', will send him to the most owed trade on the list.  \\ \\
+  * **Reset and start over:** after a surfer has visited all trades on the respective "mini outgoing list", reset cookie information. The next skimmed click on a link containing a niche parameter ''g='', will send him to the most owed trade on the list.  \\ \\
   * **Send to other trades:** after a surfer has visited all trades on the respective "mini outgoing list", send him to other trades on your [[te3:outgoing_lists|outgoing list]]. \\ \\

 **Imaginary scenario**: your website has 10 active trades, 2 trades are assigned to ''myniche'', 2 trades are not assigned to any niche, [[te3:default_skimming|default skim]] is set to 50. Every time a surfer cliks a link containing a niche parameter [[te3:outgoing|''g='']], there is a 50% chance he will be sent to one of your trades:
