Is maintaining a presence on GFY as important as it used to be?
 

The industry has taken an obvious turn for the worst over the last few years, what are your thoughts...

it's important to know what the ruskie bitches are doing
it's important to get wind of the latest news of the bbc
it's important to see the frolics of the monkeys of the board
it's important to see sig.

You left out personal, social, racial, pro-gun/anti-gun, political, who did it/did not do it before/first, etc. drama.

I come back daily to watch the monkeys hurl feces. Sometimes I am one of them.

Just kidding, I read it almost every day.

:thumbsup

The numbers are way down.

Thread movement and posts on a thread have fallen drastically since even 6 - 7 yrs back.

the new social media has changed it all:2 cents:

Most annoying poster of 2014

GFY is still good

im only here for important shit like teencat's threads....

No, most people think this board is just full of shit, mainly because not a hole lot of reality is spoken here, its like a republican forum.

the affiliate model is almost dead here :2 cents: i said it like 5 years ago the affiliate side was dying :2 cents: ask anyone that knows me. one sponsor here the guy spit out racial slurs! even slurs at an affiliate manager of a company! he is still allowed to post here! :helpme:helpme its sad im thinking of just posting a few times a month oh well. sponsors dont even come here anymore just a few

So you mean average quality of people are better than average quality of total population :thumbsup

GFY is what is is and will never change. It's important to keep your name in circulation.

Less important than it used to be because:

(1) Most everything in this side of the business gives lower ROI than it used to.

(2) The board has a higher percentage of people with blank sigs and no apparent business reason for being here.

Unless someone is totally getting out of this business space, though, probably still worthwhile.

(X) Yes, because whether people post or not they are reading it.

This is a double edged sword for reason of all of the non-business related bullshit, I and collectively we, excluding the worst of the trolls here -- for them it is a one way street.

My business related posts are addressed to the "board lurkers" at GFY.

My political jousting or opinionated statements do not reflect the policies or people's views of our enterprises (The AC Webconnecting Group (the parent holding company)). In most cases, if posted comments are not business related, the opinions or remarks my own personal positions. Most of the real business people around here just keep to topic -- that is their choice ...

This board's (forum's) rudeness is intimidating often. Having been a construction worker and then a contractor for 14 years, I am a degreed expert in being rude and engaging in put-down contests -- we did that on the job-sites for sport and entertainment, to pass the time so I am thick skinned usually. But it's very easy to see why many read and never engage for fear of the rabid responses around here.

Not for you anyway.

YES!

If you think about it, GFY was a precursor two modern social media... there was nowhere else or you could post something and every one with in your group of peers in it within five minutes.

I agree, you should state what you do in this business or not post here at all. It seems lately I have armies of haters with more posts than me than me but nothing in their signature of any consequence. people that have never been up like to kick other people when they're down

Of yeah, absolutely. I love to take out my aggression on that idiot... you can actually see the BAC go up in his system throughout the day, it's hilarious.

you know, most of companies that are making me most of money, are here not active, so it says something. but, still good place to waste time, at least it is with people from same industry :) and, drama news, are here always first! :thumbsup

I have made money in the past from people I have met on GFY and from info that has been posted and I continue to make money from it. That is all that matters to me.

The lurkers are still here. That is proved everytime a certain thread pops up, and they all appear. So there is still plenty of eyes on GFY.

People moan about lack of biz threads etc, but i can imagine how slow it would move if it was only biz threads. And besides, GFY was never just a biz board. I think people have short memories. I can remember spending many nights on here years ago and it was just full of crazy shit. But fun at the same time.

Not as many people are in the industry anymore. And those of us who are, probably don't have too many things they need to ask since they know exactly what they are doing. And not like when we were all noobs with a lot to learn...

the buying section says it all :2 cents: before the epass dying the section was full of buyers less selling :Oh crap :helpme

Most of them aren't active because they've made a living stealing content from the companies that are active! and yes, the drama is always a plus LOL

Write-in Option #5 : Was it ever?

we need more contest threads ...


congrats to the winners... :thumbsup

I havent maintained a presence here in quite a while.

I setup 2 facebook accounts and moved all my 'business only' friends to the other one so I'm free to post about my personal stuff to people I'm close to, and I only check the business account every couple of days. Very few business friends remain on my personal facebook now. In other words, I have much more freedom. I'm happier.

One thing you'll notice is that income in this biz is up and down, with lots more 'down' than it used to be... lots of 'friends' love to be around you when it's up. But when it's down, they are like 'I'm busy' etc etc. But they are never too busy for me when they have a question.

So I let them off at the bottom and didnt invite them back for the trip up.

You dont need to maintain a presence to be successful. Just do your thing.

Nah, now he is just stalking my twitter. There has got to be some kind of way to get a cyber restraining order... isn't there?

You have excellent choice it sponsors, sir:

I knew all of the old school guys would love the PPC thing.

:thumbsup

ive always loved ppc, jay
i wish i had more traffic to send to it...

no worries, it's just an honor to see the old-schoolers taking note... always the hardest to impress
:thumbsup

too late :2 cents: look at how many programs that were sold after epass one of my friends lost 30 grand he went out of biz

the epass failure hurt a lot of us... i lost 1/2 of my paid submitters in one month, most never came back...

Always been about branding,mostly just a way to kill time

The short answer is no, it doesn't matter... For every 1 person who actually comes here to do honest business there are 100 trolls, thieves, degenerates, liars, psychopaths, keyboard warriors, losers and criminals.

it was too good to be true omg it was cheap! i moved over 10 grand a month :( good things dont last

Biz always changes EVERYWHERE, hence, if a particular place is not bringing in $$$ as it used to focus else where..nuf said.. :)

yeah gfy was a place to get good biz

I am here ergo GFY must be a cool place.

one of the characters in Chris's movie was supposed to be partially based on me... I never went and saw The Middle Man on principle... that and he probably owed myself and my companies around $12,000 at that time... which as I understand it, was on the low end of the spectrum
