Now that sounded harsh didn't it?

Wel, it's the truth, the game IS changing and only those that stay on top of it will florish.

Back in the 90's we built galleries, submitted our assess off and the cash came in. It was THAT simple.

When we built up a site we just put up a hotlinks page and added links of sites we swapped with.

Over time that site would then become a monster and what is called "established"

Then trading came into the game and things got automated(Remember the first CJ sites?).

These days the above ways no longer work unless you expect to make a profit 20 years or so down the line lol.

These days it is all about volume, volume and more volume. That's what the web has evolved into: a VOLUME business.

Does that mean setting up a site is now very expensive? Nope.

Does that mean setting up a site and grow it big is impossible? Nope. 

The only thing it does mean is that you need a different approach to make it happen.

What you need are feeders(Small trade sites designed to funnel trafic to whatever you are trying to build) to send traffic to your site and tons of em.

No longer can you think I will make bank with a handful of sites, it simply won't happen. What you need are tons and tons of feeders sending a small ammount of traffic to whatever it is you want to build up. Doesn't mater if it's a paysite or a Hun like TGP that is the way to go if you want to enjoy the result in your lifetime lol.

So to all old timers whining and bitching how hard the bizz has become:

No it's not, just get with the fucking program and adapt to the rules of the new playing field :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I feel better now lol
