I would have worked harder and reinvested more. I got my start keyword bombing Altavista. In 98-99 Altavista was one of the biggest search engines out there. It didn't take me long to figure out that you could build a site with 5 pics on it. several banners and links to sponsors, then spam your chosen keyword all over it and submit it to them. Within 48 hours you would be listed. Sometimes I got a top 10 spot. Sometimes a top 5 and sometimes lower than 50. But I made a few dozen of these sites a day and submitted them to altavista and spammed them in the appropriate usenet newgroups and was doing pretty well with them.
I thought it was so easy I wasted a lot of time just screwing off and not focusing. As things changed I had to buckle down more. I should have really focused more when things were easy and good.
