But it is more then just raw traffic now, it is about analysising, understand and manipulating your traffic to match up potential customers to others.
Content is now a commodity. From wickipidea, to youtube, to myspace. Anyone can create content now a days - all content is digital now.
Enjoy this free lesson from an no-nothing oldtimer. |
You are obviously more than a no nothing old timer. But it is the same mantra I have been preaching for years. Raw traffic is like water flowing down a river. Unless you put a damn and a hydro plant in the mix, then it is worthless unless there is a drought. It takes no talent to sell water in a drought. This board was owned and populated by water merchants dishing out useless advice for years.
"Content is now a commodity"
That is by definition what content is, was and always will be. If you don't understand that, then you are fucked right out of the gate. Those of us who deal in content have always understood this. When you understand traffic and content, then you will do well on the net. A free lesson from an old timer.
As for the lesson.....thanks.
