Been making a lot of it since 1998.

This isn't about the Internet, it's about marketing and selling. Relying on passing traffic is so yesterday it's unbelievable you still think knowing how to be a good webmaster works.

No matter how much traffic a site gets the trick is to convert it into $$$$. To do that you have to have a site that people want to view, then a product they want to buy on a site they want to buy from.

How well do Tubes convert? Even though they have massive traffic, most struggle to make money. Ads convert badly.

The rise of ad blockers proves people are not interested in seeing those ads. Let alone buying from them.

All the sites with high traffic are doing that on return traffic. Saying they do it without creating the content is a bullshit excuse. It doesn't matters, all that matters is the surfers. When you create a site for SE spiders, don't expect people to like it.
