It use to be, quite some time back, you could throw up page after page and the hungry google digital spiders would gobble it up and the big G would send you some of those golden surfers eager to pull out their plastic money cards.
Little crap AVS sites I built back in the late 90’s coasted along very nicely for longer than I can remember. Not major traffic, but consistent streams adding to the empires stock piles. Talk about coasting…
Eventually some things stop working, some of the models just can’t keep big G’s love for long. No hard feelings, it’s for the greater good.
Just like life, every evolving, ever changing, every growing.
So… if certain things stop working, why the hell is it still the current advice?
I see nebies lead to believe they need to have as many domains as possible cranking out pages and create hubs… for what? To sit and find no embrace from any search engine? Only to be seen in the way back machine?
It’s been quite evident the Link List Model does not work as well as it use to. Sure there are some going strong, but that’s another post altogether. Yet most every day another new link lists rises from the digital dirt, shaking the dust off, doors open for a few window shoppers. Most walk past, including the bots hungry for content. “Move on folks, nothing new to see here”.
Build an empire of web pages and domains that keeps you working with little time for a life and no time for family. Been there, done that. It doesn’t work very well. Some things you can’t get back.
There is a crazy theory, some get it, most do not. Others just ignore the idea.
Creating value, not work.
I’m sure most will still not get it.
I didn’t get it for a long time because i didn’t need to, I was comfortably coasting.
