I think the same people making money now would be making money, and the same people complaining about all that would be complaining about something else.
Hmm I dunno. They'd possibly be complaining about *something*, but they'd be making good (which may not be the same as your good, admittedly) money. Adult, specifically SE traffic, died overnight for me with Penguin. Killed it stone fucking dead, now at 1/15th of what I was doing 12 months ago - now, Google would obviously have still changed their algos over the years obviously, but I just can't compete in Google when they are geared up to give the surfers want they want, regardless of how the now top SERPs got to be able to give the surfer all that free stuff (which I have no real beef with, aside from the occasional rant when in a bad mood) in the first place.

I know one thing - rewind to 2005, when I went full-time, and I'd do things VERY differently as regards to acquiring/keeping traffic sources, and wouldn't be hurting as much as I am now

Bit garbled but it's late here and I'm knackered
