This was an eon ago it seems. So as things have progressed, I have had real money to lose by not keeping up with progress which has actually helped me a lot. Just for example, assume you are making $25k a month - then the search engine changes something and all of a sudden you make $10k a month. While at the same time someone new starts and makes $10k his first month. They are ecstatic and probably a little complacent - meanwhile you have overhead based upon $25k a month + You have knowledge of what is possible from both a volume and CR standpoint. You should fight like heck to get back to $25k. Then the next time the engines change something and you again go from $25k to $10k the guy cruising along at $10k might go to $0 per month and then say "well that was good while it lasted" and move on. I see lots of URL show up for 6-9 months and then totally disappear. Always seems to happen shortly after major changes in Big G's algorithm. @ Al - I got lucky and made money on my first $$$’s spent. This was an eon ago it seems.

Wow this sounds like me. Today. When did it finally hit you that you could do this for a living and make a good living doing this? “They will re-write ad copy, they will make mistakes that I made 5 years ago.” Wow this sounds like me.

Wales saw one in online encycolpedias, he is teaming with a company that created the idea of an online marketplace, I am guessing they are doing so because they see an opportunity. If I was them, I would not spell out that vision to me, you and Google either. I am not sure if this new engine will support ads (I really hope so... wrote about that a little bit in my blog yesterday.) Although Google is the best of the best right now and for the last 4-5 years, that does not mean someone else can not build a better mousetrap. In 15 years or so of the public internet, there have been 3-4 different dominant search players. The fact that Google was the first to really figure out how to monetize it does not mean they have been granted a perpetual monopoly. Easy to do. No. Possible. Yes. I for one am excited by the possibilities. __________________ Why Not Everyone else is Blogging....
