I see alot of these guys have sat back on their success and not really kept up to date with the industry.
This is very true, those who do not compete will fall back.

I don't put a lot of credence on the effect being here a long time makes it easier.

This is the biggest moving market in the world, we keep members for a matter of weeks. These people are the ultimate judges. They start to not sign up or not stay the effect will be falling numbers for the affiliates who will soon realise the time has come to move on.

The surfer does not know if you've been here 1 month or 10 years and I doubt if he really cares. He's jerking off and needs us to deliver him the goods. Yes those with a long track record will have more content available, more affiliates and better techniques. But if the site is not updated and worked on daily the surfer, in enough numbers, will see and move on. Then the affiliate will realise his ratios are sufferning and also move.

Are we one of the top content producers because we've been here 3 years or because last week we released 8 great new sets that will convert? And will do the same this week and next.
