question for the SEO guys who say "There's no money in SEO" on this board
 

OK, some of you SEO guys who are known for doing SEO and have a tendency of saying on gfy "There's no money in SEO" and I was wondering why you do this?

It seems obvious to me that if you're known for doing well with SEO, yet you say that there's no money in it, then you're going to attract a lot of attention and get other people interested in the SEO game because it could appear as if you're hiding a gold mine. And everybody loves a gold mine.

Obviously the more competitors you have the more difficult it is to maintain high rankings, so why continue to do it? It seems like your'e just shooting yourself in the foot. Is your goal to get more competitors or are you trying to deter them? Enlighten me please :)

Inverse Logic, they want you to think that SEO is a goldmine, but in reality it's a waste of time :)

There is no money in SEO or there is a lot of money in SEO.

Things are as they should be.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

wahahahahahaha

I sale cheap Google Priority IDs

There's no money in SEO.

There's no money in TGP.

basically i think the rationale is that if someone is going to do something, they are going to do it whether or not someone make a smart ass comment about it or not

most people that get into SEO will get out before they make any difference whatsoever, it ain't the easiet part of this biz, and newbies here asking about SEO are looking for a quick cash option

Does anybody who hears "there's no money in SEO" actually believe there's no money in SEO?

yes i do. "There's no money in SEO"

er...yes...

If WiredGuy says there is no money in SEO, then I believe it because he is trustworthy...

there is no money in cocaine dealing

The internet is a fad

Ya i will believe what ever that dude says. He got knowledge.

You took the words right out of my mouth, so Newbies there's money everywhere, you just have to work HARD for it, so it doesn't make a huge difference WHAT you do (if you're not retarded), but it does make a difference HOW you do it.

Theres no money in tgp as well,l Kush why are you fiishing for the blind and the stupiud

There's no money in AdWords

You think I'm joking?

Look at the people who do SEO, none of 'em earn enuf to move out of their parents house.

There is no money at all

Obviously there's money in SEO, a fairly good amount too I admit.

But I don't think there's enough of it to support as large of a crowd of people as there is general adult webmastery... people are misled to think that for the average webmaster it's easier to make money with SEO than with other things... and I completley disagree.

For the average webmaster, you're better off not doing SEO in my opinion (you just don't have the time/resources to really commit what you have to in order to climb the competition)

There's no money in SEO.

Case closed.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Say what? Who says I want droids?

I agree.

there's no money in porno. :upsidedow

yes, I belive him too, he should start saying "there is no money in TGP" though :winkwink:

100% agreed...when I first started online I decided to give it a go, and did all right at it, NOTHING compared to come of the better guys, but i made some loot...but it was a 13-14 hour a day task and i had to work on it every day....and there are SO many things you have to keep up with..it aint just about making some pages and linking them like newbs think...you gotta do SO much more

Obviously, you are too young to have grasped my geeg Star Wars reference.

Obi, "There aren't the droids you are looking for..."

Stormtrooper. "Let them pass."

I use it at clubs. Calls atention from the subject at hand.

its similar like putting a link into signature "i make 600 this year" look how.

How many sites like jays xxx links was here at the start of previous year and how many sites is one year after? Every mofo and his grandmother is trying to put in work his own LL nowadays and tries to copy jays success. Even jays as consequence of this doesnt have such overwhelming positions in SERPS (of course its due change in google algo too) as it used to be.

I know jay will call me idiot and hater here, but i dont really care.

Man, and I tried to find "Droids" in my Dictionary :1orglaugh

Ah, I see now. I enjoyed the Star Wars movies but I can't say that I can easily identify allusions to them ;)

There's no money in porn

Actually in Jay's situation I think that helps him get exposure to OCcash, which is probably high in the list of benefits vs risks for him.

There is money in everything is you research it and work hard enough.

people say "there is no money is SEO" so new people dont bother trying to lookin into SEO any further thus letting all the big SEO people keep their $

dont be such a sheep

If a millionaire makes his money selling magazines door to door and he consistently tells people there is no money in selling magazines, would you believe him?

Use your head.

Isnt this a no-brainer......I use to say "there is no money in SEO" I thought everyone considered this a joke by now :)

Crime doesn't pay

I know what you're doing.....

Trying to say that there really is money in SEO when in fact there isn't, so newbies start to waste their time on it while you make $$$ :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Clever.

Warning for the newbies:
There REALLY isn't any money in SEO, this is just a trick... a clever one...

you should be ashmed of yourselves.! tricking vunerable newbs like this...

Lol
I have no problem telling people that SEO makes money simply because 99% of the people will have a hard time earning even a dime on SEO.
It's like the TGP game... I can tell you that when you run a huge TGP you will probably earn good money but it takes a lot to grow a successful one... which is why there are 1000000 small and crappy TGPs out there barely making a grand.

The SEO game is even harder than that because the free knowlegde available will earn you nothing. It takes a lot of experience, knowledge, connections and skills (programming for example) to earn good money in that game.

as easy as that :)

SEO sucks. I tried but failed. More money in galleries for sure!

There's no money in SEO

Google is dying and being replace by Yahoo & MSN which will be selling the top 20 spots

So don't waste your time with SEO

Also SEO will be made illegal same with SE spamming just like E-Mail spamming has been made illegal.

So why bother learning the skills if they will be made useless in the future?

There is no money in SEM. Just a load of high quality traffic.

Heh. I'm a (adult) newbie too what do I care:

Check the top results for some adult keywords..
Use yahoo to check backlinks of top ranking sites, google hides many backlinks.
The keyword stuffing etc rules don't apply so much to adult sites.
Links links links.

:2 cents:

How does thehun make money giving away so much free porn ;)

:Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap
