Anti-Marketing Mentality VS Forum Mentality

I see questions asked all the time about what niche to choose or how can I monetize my site, and marketers give the same answers every time, well make a niche site, use Adsense or Amazon, as if these are the only ways to make money/sites.

Where is your creativity, I don't see anyone saying anything different than what the last guy just said. I've already gone down that road of following forum mentality , I made sites in niches that had nothing to do with my own interest, and even though they may have been bigger than the average MFA site, I can admit now that they were made with the sole purpose of making money


Quick definitions:

Forum Mentality- Simply doing the same as everybody else, retelling the same info you just read in someone else's post.


Anti-Marketing Mentality-Someone who is creative, comes up with fresh ideas, does testing for themselves instead of relying on other members info.

Some may say hey who does this guy think he is, he acts like he's better than us or smarter, no I don't, you think I make these threads because I get paid to do it, or just to rant for no reason, I do this to trying wake you guys up, it's like being around zombies in here.


I want to see you guys succeed, I mean truly succeed, and that wont happen by making 100 niche sites, or following everybody else, because guess what, when those new updates come yr after after yr, you going to be one of many complaining about how you hate Google because they penalized your niche sites.

You better start making real sites, they people want to visit, more and more Google is eliminating the need to even visit a site. YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SITE SO GOOD, THAT PEOPLE TYPE IN THE NAME, YOU WANT TO HAVE "DIRECT TRAFFIC".

Check out IMDb, in Google keyword tool, it get's more than 3,000,000 visitors from people who type in "IMDb" in order to visit their site. You think I'm crazy right, take a look at this:


Oh you want to build niche sites as Amazon affiliate huh well Google shopping has another thing to say about that.



Oh your smarter than the rest of us, because your going to build info type sites, well Google is slowly but surely taking traffic away from those to.

So you want to know how old Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is do ya, well you don't even have to visit a site to find that out, oh you want to know how much he make, no problem , all the info is right here without even visiting a website.



Here's another example:

Searcher: aaww damn what was the name of that guy who played agent Smith in The Matrix, oh I know I'll visit IMDb and find out.



Searcher: oh never mind his name his "Hugo Weaving" it's right there at the top of the page, and I didn't even have to visit a website to get that info, man Google is great.

In the future you will have to have a site that people love/need to visit, niche sites want last much longer, X-factors methods, along with Sniper sites are out. The internet is rapidly changing yet were here talking about methods from 3 or 4 yrs ago.

Your goal should be to make a site with a great topic, that will never get stale, something that is fun and refreshing. Your second goal should be to have this site be centered around social interaction, site with social vibes will defiantly get direct traffic, I mean look at Facebook, all I do is type "F" and Google already know where I want to go.



For example imagine if Amazon created a better user experience by some how making user profiles on there site better, by having profile stats, like pro buyer,active buyer etc, and having a thank count, so that you know any advice from this person would benefit you,it would be like a Facebook of shopping, people could make friends and get advice on which items to buy.



Yea I know they have user reviews but who you going to believe a user review from a stranger or from a friend you met last month, who profile says she's a pro buyer, and have great stats.

All this is just something for you to think about, these last couple threads I made have been so long that I've decided to go ahead and make my own personal blog, somewhere for people that are tired of the norm,everyday thread titles of "how do I rank niche sites" or "what is a backlink" as if a simple Google search couldn't answer that question.
