I have a couple of questions for those of you that promote sites.
Being a site and content owner, I have found within the last two years that by doing all of the work myself and giving my sites and content tender loving care that the monetary results are way better.
What I mean by this is picking out the thumbs, hand cropping, writing the page title for Google, the meta description for Google, writing detailed and fun to read set descriptions, hand picking and cropping the images to use in hosted galleries, and a whole lot more.
In the past, my employees would do some of this work and the rest was on auto pilot by my coder... which resulted in gallery urls like this...
/hosted/gal/bluewindow
/hosted/gal/cutecouch
/hosted/gal/greencouch
Anyway, to my questions...
I know that it is great that everything is more and more on auto pilot, but at some point does human intervention make a difference.
Choosing specific content or galleries to promote rather than dumping everything into a super listing of everyone's galleries.
I read somewhere in my self help quests that success does not come by magic pills... it comes by doing the daily repeated mundane tasks that made you money on day one.
I truly believe in this concept, even though it is hard to discipline yourself to do this... who said life was easy.
It seems to me that there were a lot of affiliates that I knew from back in the day, they are mostly all gone now... I think they got to big and automated... and had no way to adjust to the changing times. They should have stuck to webmastering their sites instead of auto piloting them.
I am interested to hear the differing points of views... I am sure there will be some
