Yep, you heard me
Traffic is KING

If you've got it you know what I'm talking about...

BRISK · 04-15-2005, 11:38 PM

I have traffic. It makes me horny.

Voodoo · 04-15-2005, 11:41 PM

Not true. Content is King. Traffic is Queen.

quiet · 04-15-2005, 11:42 PM

traffic will always be king

Traffic has credit cards. Does content have credit cards?

Both are essential elements in forming your Kingdom. With no content, you have nowhere to send "Traffic" to.

I'm speaking in a broader sense of the word "content"... meaning, a website, or news article, or porn. Doesn't matter. It's all "content".

True, but I would rather own the traffic than own content.

The value of content depreciates over time.

Well, I was just talking to a buddy who wants to start a paysite. But the conclusion was he needs more traffic. He does 250,000 uniques a day on his TGP but that just doesn't seem to be enough.

In the end, Traffic is King

Agree or not?

If I had to pick one or the other, I'd agree. You can always send traffic to someone else's content, while it's a little more difficult to get traffic to your own content.

Looks to me like you're admitting that traffic is king

Jamie · 04-15-2005, 11:57 PM

There has always been this argument of Content vs. Traffic

Vittorio just posted his new house in FL. He's a content guy and does well for himself so we know there is money in content. But there are more affiliates (traffic guys) than sponsors (content). I would wager affiliates have a higher GM than sponsors....

what do you think?

What would you rather own, the land or the house?

LOL... No, not really. Just saying IF I had to choose. Traffic & Content share a symbiotic relationship with each other. You can't really have one without the other and build a successful Kingdom. So, I suppose you could say that the collective relationship is a Keen or a Qing. har har

EddiePulp · 04-16-2005, 12:10 AM

not this argument...
obviously to make sales u need traffic.. but to make sales u need a product, being the content.. so its like what came first.. the chicken or the egg?

GTS Mark · 04-16-2005, 12:20 AM

Traffic is king...

Trust me on this one.

Last time I checked, it was the traffic that has the cash.

He who controls the traffic, controls the cash.
