Traffic was pretty much there for the taking in that era. You didn't have to pay unless you wanted to (lazy). If you were willing to put in some work you could easily get traffic. Just submitting to the AVS would net 300 or more visitors a day from their own link list and they would convert like mad. 1,000 or more if you were lucky. There were multiple search engines which actually had traffic and far less competition. It was easy to get some hits right away and you weren't dependent upon Google. TGP's and link lists were at their peak. You could get (tens of) thousands of visitors from them daily with very little work and they converted at a 10th of the ratio that average traffic does now. One can still make money, sure, but it's a different game than 1999 or 2001. I'd definitely take 2001 over 2011 and I bet most would agree.
