Traffic.

You content people are absofuckinglutely retarded. If you have a billion pics and videos it's worth exactly fuck all without traffic. Now if I have a billion hits of traffic I can sell it, send it to sponsors with good or bad content, or slap some fucking adwords on the page and get paid per click. You can make money on ANY AND ALL TRAFFIC but you cannot make money on content alone. End of story.

Interesting, I would say both, but that is not allowed I guess...

So here it goes

When you have great content, and no traffic at all(and also no mouth to mouth talk, so traffic=none) you won't make any dollars

When you have a LOT of traffic, and send it to a crappy memberarea, ppl will find that out AFTER they joined. So you would at least make a FEW dollars that way....

Neither works without the other and in this context even no-content is content...

Too many people approach this topic every one of the million-plus times it appears, assuming the word content implies good content and while the traffic people take it for granted their traffic will always have destinations, they don't allow the content people to make the same assumptions about traffic.

I was going to answer that if I could only have one or the other, I would choose traffic, because there is less hassle finding a place to send my traffic than finding traffic to monetize content. That would have at least have allowed me to express a preference, but then I realized the paradox implicit in that reply ;)

Would you rather own Starbucks OR a coffee plantation that grows coffee?

Traffic has been king in the past but quality content seems to be becoming more important to program owners.

Sadly, much of the content (custom and licenced) is still complete shit because that is the best way to make money as a content producer. Turn that shit out likc McDonalds turns out hamburgers.

Why anyone still joins some of these lame sites is beyond me. There are many free sites with better content then pay sites.

totally agree with that! :pimp

I guess another way of looking at it; distribution or product?
