If you had to start your online biz all over again...
 

would you give it a shot starting from scratch again? Seems like a lot of work and things 'seemed' so much easier a few years ago.

There were no card fees, more surfers were joining back then, fewer partnership-only tgps and paid spots, SE's hadn't yet restricted owning their search terms like they do now, spam hadn't been cracked down on like it is now.

Of course I would start all over again. What else would I do, get a job? Pffff...

it always seems like that... but with advances in technology there always come new opportunities. What worked back then, may not work now that is true, but there are other biz opportunities :)
