SEO vs. TGP/Bulk - the war of evolution
 

The webmaster world is at war!
One side is represented by the clever SEO-sniper tribe, taking over the internet-world domination by outsmarting the opponent and the prey. They are fighting the old "Bulkers". The Bulkers are old school bruteforce entities that use crude weapons to get their targetes - much like old dinosaurs.

The SEO tribe use little effort and energy to make the kill, waste no ammunition: "one shot - one kill". They have a hunt/kill ration of 1:10


The Bulkers use a lot of energy to make just one kill. They will gladly waste 3000-5000 bullets and funt for 24 hours,just to get one kill, scaring all other prey away, and make sure they never come back.

We have seen it before with:
Human vs dinosaurs
Development countries vs. Industrial countries
Even the military have learned that smartbombs is better than WMD.

When the fuck will webmasters Learn???????

I love Bulk.

that was pretty lame.

quick, edit your post and think of something better.

Never, people are stupid. http://www.askabastard.com/?page_id=14

By the way, they waste more like 20,000 "bullets" to get the kill.

Hot damn it feels good when the SEO kill ratio works!

Or you can have the best of both worlds.

One world is like fucking Angelina Jolie and the other like fucking Maury Povich. Why would I want both?

Not very thought provoking and also grossly inaccurate. People have been looking to get traffic from the search engines (which are also an important source for bulk traffic handlers) for longer than people have been seeking bulk traffic. And whereas pulling traffic from search engines truly used to require very little "effort and energy", that is no longer true.

The bottom line is that a traffic source is a traffic source. By all means pick the one which suits you best. But they are not mutually exclusive and it's damn silly to introduce a suggestion of elitism about a particular choice.

That made my head hurt.
Role-play much?

What a bullshit

Tell that to tradedoubler and Condom Company

NB. Its in danish Kroners, so devide value by 6 to get US $

There's nothing wrong with both business models, if I had the time and resources I would probably want to get a TGP as well. Nothing wrong with hitting two business models at the same time.
WG

Even when one bends the entire industry over and shoves a tree stump up our collective asses?

that`s only 240 $ per month. Hundreds of TGP`s earn that per day.

:1orglaugh Funny way of saying it!

interesting story, still waiting for the movie.

ohh please tell me your not emplying that TGP's revenue stream can even be close to proper SEO... :1orglaugh

Ummm of course it can. And wait until you get a nice global ban of your stuff. then that brute approach is going to look really good.

:thumbsup

that is ONE program.. I have more than 250 product reviews on my site pulling in SE trafic.. do the math..

And how big a BW-bill do I get? maby 20k hits a day to a 15kb text-file and 10kb grafx-banner + header.. I dont pay for my BW bill, TGP does
The mainstream hosting is free bandwith at $10 a month

I find it amusing that you have a blatant spelling error and you think we have to scan your entry looking for it.

20k hits a day ? Dude, you`re right. The Hun should close his TGP and start doing SEO from tomorrow :error

i make money on the internet!

Sir, you are lucky! :upsidedow :1orglaugh

20K SEO hits is worth about, $700 a day for me.

You are not theHun.net either so I'd appreciate it if you would quit talking shit to someone else... who also isn't theHun but is probably doing better than you.

you really dont get it... jesus..
its 20k REAL targeted paying surfers, no CJ, skimming or other crap.. do you know what that is worth? do you have ANY IDEA!!

Imagine this

I have about 5-7k unique surfers looking at my product review every day
One evere page, there is 3+ banners for http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/
where they can finde the product that is reviewed.
http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/ is a product guide, that shows you where and at what price you can pick up the product. When the surfer find the shop, and order online, I get 3-15% of that ... How much do you think that is when the review is for a $2k stereo or a 42" LCD monnitor

60.00 to 300.00 since you did not feel like doing the math.

Stereo's and lcd monitors are not promoted on tgps though, nor are the majority of main stream products. Come to think of it I have never seen a thumb preview site for hickory farms sausages.

SEO has its place and it often has a higher return per click. I do not think you will get many who will argue that with you. Is it ultimatly better than cj or any other form of traffic sources? Not really. You do what you can with what you have access to.
SEO is not new and it has been around longer than the whole CJ scheme has been. It does however require work and often upkeep to maintain your long term listings. Where as everyone knows cj traffic is meant for quick fast returns.

As for your analogy, well just a few small points. Dinosaurs never used tools, and men never competed against dinosaurs. Now you have my thoughts on this and I am going back to my cockroach business mentality.

So what? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's great. But at the same time it is ludicrous to suggest that other traffic sources should be left on the table simply because they have different profiles.

I just don't see the point of this thread unless it is to inflate your own ego. We would be a bunch of idiots if we all pursued the exact same traffic source in the same way and ignored all the others.

I just try to inform him that only 5% of porn surfers are looking for porn in SEs, maybe next time read whole thread before posting

please don't tell you think the only way to make serious money with SE's is using black hat techniques... :1orglaugh

Actually I disagree.

Whereas both business models may have their own strong and weak points, not everyone is suited for search engines as not everyone can understand and do well with TGPs.

The skills needed in each case differ so greatly that it is highly unlikely that one single webmaster can do well in both. Best is to honestly determine ones' own skills, chose a playground and go for the kill.

Just do what you good at.

maybe the difference is more in the mentality of the traffic. Targetted SE traffic is not 90% surfers per se but peeps ready to buy, they just want the one last push- an informative review or that specific item on sale. Whereas the TGP surfer is a surfer whacking off with no initial intention to buy and has to pull his pants up and go get his credit card if he does get interested enough.

theres no money to be made on the internet
please go back to working at ihop

Please do not. I just got used to the waitress there. Last thing I need is some idiots messing that up as well.

atleast they wouldnt be here having pissing contests every fucking day. im sick about hearing how great seo is and if people were any good at it they woudlnt be preaching all day long to the gfy noobs. "check out my url! file / save as and you can be rich like me." <img src="http://www.dealership.com/virtualferrari.jpg"> "im a pimp"

You have nothing to back that up with. That's your thoughts on the matter, not the stone cold facts. Many people disagree with you.

How do I get the special commision deal? They are per lead on their site.

And to respond to the other person, white hat sites get banned all the time. Talk to Jays xxx links about Yahoo.

lol... that's what you compare a tgp too? :upsidedow

I am doing my best to hit both at the same time.

Why is it that there is always some fucktard that tries to make a black and white issue out of EVERYTHING?

If you are doing so well, why would you want to bring more competition into your marketshare? You wouldn't. Obviously you are just trying to spam some faggy ass program.
