Remember when Internet Marketing was easy?
When I look back at my stats from years past, conversions were great, traffic was plentiful, and everything I touched just worked.
I worked maybe 10-20 hours per month, if even that much some months. I had to stop for personal reasons, figuring I'd get back into it when I could.
Well here I am about 6 months back into it, and it's like a different world. Nothing I make ranks and ppc is changed forever with all the google rules and affiliates protecting blocks of keywords and trademarks.
I used to stop promoting things that only made a few hundred dollars per month because it was taking too much time. Now I am happy if something can just cover it's own cost.
I'm following a few blogs where people are building their online business, and the amount of effort they are putting in is mind boggling to me. Hundreds of articles, hundreds of sites, mass backlinking, comment posting, social bookmarking, etc....
I remember when doing some basic keyword research, a little spit testing, and a few dollars to get the ball rolling was all it took. Now there are all these tools that just compile massive amounts of data and/or create massive amounts of linking via web 2.0 and article spinning, profile building, link wheeling, etc... just to focus on a keyword(s) that maybe gets a few thousand searches per month.
This just seems crazy to me. The thought of going through all that just makes me wanna cry.
Someone please tell me there's a better way. Or is that just how it is now?
