Not many have grasped this concept.
Want links and traffic?
Link to yourself! |
spot on
even a monster site like break.com which although not a unique idea, they are faster growing in U.S than twitter i believe
although site unremarkable they capture the golden male 15 - 40 demographic
see at top of their page the links to other sites like chickopedia
now check all the alexas for them
those sites would not do a nano percentage of what their doing without the host behemoth
its the way to go
on the other extreme, remember when rick sold ireport, had no real traffic, alexa etc
obviously with the new owners and some promotion on other sites and telly got like top 10k in weeks, and the rest is history
we cant do what they did, but can grow our userbase
personally i think google adsense is a false economy, for the peanuts you get. companies always come to you when you get top rankings or really targetted traffic or just shedloads of traffic. one or 2 companies sponsoring is better and then you can budget for year
plus google are thieves. all you need is no privacy page or terms or whatever on one site and they can withold/steal payment.
screw google adsesnse
anyway i think we should get back on topic
i saw an amazing vid on youtube other day of protests in iran. they were peacefully protesting and a mob of motorbike riding thugs and police,came along beating and disrupting
after many beatings to crowd, a bike crashed and 2 individuals were beaten. the crowd grabbed one guy and saved him and stopped a few getting their own back. they protected and saved him
it was amazing, i'll try and find link
