Best thread ive read for ages here on GFY

Convertion ratios where better in 99/00 for me as for everyone, but really, it's the amount of money you make that matters, I work just as much as i worked back then but I make more money now. Ofcourse that eaqualy as much has to do with sites that I built several years ago as sites that I build now. Traffic is KING, be it TGP traffic or SE traffic, it's all about the $ you make from it, what is starting to suck though is that all TGP's and Linklist's want better quality content for me to get that piece of traffic I want from them. They want more pictures, better looking pictures, bigger vids, more vids and even better if it's exclusive.

I just loved putting 10 crappy looking thumbs with 600x400 sized full pics on a gallery and get listed everywhere. Now you need ~15 quality pictures with like 150x130 sharp thumbs and if the tgp has seen those pics a few times your gallery goes down the shitter. It all connects to each other, TGP's and LL's demand more and higher quality content because that brings them more traffic and bookmarkers, affiliates try and get better and use more content to get listed more and better, sponsors have to produce and supply their affiliates with high quality exclusive content for them to be listed at the high traffic places, surfers see the content and get used to see that sort of content on tgp's and ll's, surfers go to the sponsors tour's, they see the same content as they see on the tgp's/ll's and they wonder why they should signup when they can see all the "exclusive high quality can only been seen in members area content" all for free....Traffic is still king, why? Because without traffic no money. Personaly im using tgp's and ll's as traffic sources less and less. But since traffic still is king it's dumb not to take what you can get, allthough the tgp's and ll's are slowly killing themselves. LL's will survive longer though.

Have you heard google ask you for better pictures/videos?

Hmmm I'll have to read through this post after I've posted it, im not sure what I wrote
