Internet Marketing Over The Years, As I See It

When I started surfing a few years back I was very amazed by websites that are packed and laden with one thousand and one things. Thence they have heavy graphics and takes minutes to complete loading the pages. I still have the patience to wait. Now things have changed.Web master install graphics which are faster and more efficient. I also become more impatient with slow loading site.

A few years back people are trying to make money on the web by involving themselves with affiliates, adsence, list building, viral marketing, PLR, SEO etc. By today standard all these are outdated. Yet if you are persistent you can still make some money, but not like before. But at least some. Last 2 years it was possible to cash in a dollar per day on each site ladden with Google Adsence. Therefore many are busy creating short static website by the thousands. A numbers used site generating programs to generate and flooding the cyberspace. The smarter ones have thousand of websites with top paying keywords embedded and hire staff to manage for them. They blog and hire bloggers to blog for them. Articles were purchase from articles farm to post fresh articles every now and than. Google loves fresh content and linkings.

This is not anymore. Google has become smarter and changed the algorithm. Earning has dropped overnight from a dollar to 5 or 10cents per account daily. It is still a number game. Now they need to get 10 times more traffic to achieve the one dollar a day target.

Marketers are exploring new areas like Myspace, YouTube and social bookings with Digg, De.li.ious, Technorati to get more traffics and novelty ways of exposure. E-marketing has taken a new turn. Most new sales sites have video clips embedded. It is easy to make video clips using hand phones. Everybody with a reasonable quality phones can make video by themselves. Prepare the sales scrip and drag your partner or the other half to become a few minutes actor and actresses. Do some simple editing and upload.
