Mike South punks out Joanna Angel

[KevinG]

Come on now Kevin... you know she fucked up on that one just like she told all the newbies that the most important thing to do was to shoot content for 3 years instead of worrying about traffic.

1. I stand by my explanation about quoting hits and do not agree that she "fucked up", but you are entitled to your perception and opinion.

Also, if you get to know Joanna, and also have experience dealing with other porn girls, you would know that she is probably one of the most educated and intelligent of the bunch.

2. Regarding the content vs. traffic debate that arose at Cybernet, I will concede a little bit to you that she did mis-speak a little.

She didn't get the chance to correct herself in public.

She later corrected herself in private conversation, with Hammer standing there to hear it as well.

Her opinion of content vs. traffic is that, hypothetically, if you are new to the business and you have $100,000 to invest, Joanna advises that you budget about $60 - $70,000 of that towards producing your own exclusive, high quality, unique content.

I happen to agree.

I am in charge of generating traffic for BurningAngel.com and JoannaAngel.com, so you know I understand the importance of traffic.

So ... wtf do I send traffic to if there is no content.

And ... more important than that ... in my experience, I have had the greatest success in building the highest quality and highest quantity of traffic when there is a high quantity of very good exclusive content.

Here's the point:

IMO, Content comes first, then traffic. There's always a means to generate traffic if you have great content.

Anyone can disagree, but if they do, it would lead me to believe they do not really know how to generate traffic.

Not to be ranked in the top 100 thousand in Alexa tells me she aint getting millions of hits a day.

I will see what I can do to get some Chinese traffic for her.

Seriously though, it is a huge waste of time to discuss Alexa.

Alexa is quite useless if you dont know how to read those stats.

Alexa is quite useless PERIOD.

IMHO Page Rank is the most over rated and useless stat out there but we will agree to disagree.

I think you are saying that because you know me as a professional SEO, and most professional SEO people worship Google PageRank like you seem to worship Alexa.

However, let me tell you what one of my comments were to the audience when I sat on the traffic panel.

I said, "Google Page Rank means next to nothing and Alexa Rank means less than nothing."

At least we agree on something, and here is a little side note trivia for you.

Google doesn't own PageRank. Stanford University owns it and it is licensed to Google until 2011.

But I do own a copy of Repenetrator.

That's the smartest thing you said in this post ;-)
