I am thinking of changing my strategy and own the traffic which comes to my site and redirect it to a client in exchange for a monthly fee. Is this what you do. I have done many sites and given them masses of traffic and I have got no more thanks for it, people seem to think traffic is a right and it comes automatically.
I am unsure of the mechanics on how to set up these sites where I can own the traffic. Perhaps you could help?
Kind regards
David

Hi Laura,

I just stumbled onto your stampedesecret website. And ended up purchasing Strategic Social Marketing. I read somewhere else on the page that you were doing a rewrite of the Stampede Secrets ebook, which you took off the market. Is that still in the works? I haven’t made it through most of your posts here yet, so perhaps I there’s already a link to the new version?

Anyway, thanks for sharing all your wonderful insight and experience. Very much appreciated!

Warm regards,
Melanie

Billy, thanks for that. Truly.

And you are, of course, not alone in your thoughts on this.

I read earlier this month that one of the SB sites nearly crashed and immediately incorporated ‘nofollow’ tags as a result of a huge traffic spike.

This just a day after the release of Don Crowther’s (StomperNet) video. Everyone had rushed to abuse the site.

The “abuse it and lose it” results were practically immediate in that instance.

Had I bookmarked the post, I might have the link to share…

If I run across it again, I’ll post it here.

Laura,
My comments were in no way a personal attack but meant as a generalization.

The fact remains that in this instance industry is a victim of it’s own success.

Gosh Billy, it sounds like a conspiracy. ;0)

Although your points are valid, I’m not particularly pleased with being ‘lumped in’ with ‘web professionals’ (when you say “…you are the victims of your own successes…”)

I don’t actually teach overuse (abuse), nor do I promote overuse (abuse) of the services. In fact I’m not particularly wild about bookmarking in the first place!

Furthermore I teach strategy – not spamming, splogging or any other short term fix to traffic woes. This is the age of authenticity. That is what I teach.

Thank you for your comment – everyone needs a voice and I’m happy to provide the venue for your thoughts.

All my best with keeping Web 3.0 a secret from future victims.

Laura

I’m not at all surprised that social bookmarking is down and won’t be surprised to see it fall even more. The problem with social bookmarking is that it is now considered a tool for businesses to drive traffic and as businesses have their employees and contractors working night and day to bury the solo blogger or webmaster attempting to drive traffic against armies of professionals these solo webmasters simply give up and go on back to producing content and hoping for the best.

In effect, a few thousand pros are controlling what makes it to the top as they divide and destroy the solo operators so the millions of solo operators simply quit using social bookmarking.

In other words you are victims of your own successes while those of us in the know prepare for the death of Web 2.0 sharecropping and the ushering in of Web 3.0.
