Think about it that's all we are. We gamble on just about every project we partake in hoping for a jackpot at the end of the game. Nothing is for sure in this business of online marketing. A gambler in Las Vegas has almost the same odds as we do in this business but our outcome is not based on odds but work, links, seo, ppc and shit we do to improve our outcome.

It's fucken great isn't it?

All you need too know is when to fold em and hold em. Websites that is.

How many domains have you left in the path of wreckage and failed ventures?

BYA's registered websites at 10 differnet hosts= 87
domains actively being marketed= 23

I equate it more to the stock market. Hot trends are stocks... going up and down and what not. But hell, even stock trading is like gambling if you're doin it wrong.

I agree with barman,

Affiliate Marketing is like Trading Shares | Australian ASX Share Trading Tips

That said, it's definitely a lot like trading stocks. What is shares in common with gambling is the webmaster's willingness to take a risk. But any business is like that. If you don't take risks, you fail. Period.

Skeletor

Well, you have to admit, many people find a lot things you do rather annoying. And a caps lock thread title is definitely an attention whore thing to do.

ScottDaMan

Fuck that shit!

I play numbers. More numbers = more profits = less risk.

What I'm doing isn't risky at all. In fact, almost guaranteed to profit. Once I profit, THEN I take risk with someone else's money.

My goal is to get 1,000,000 new pages indexed in google this year. If every page made $0.05 for the entire year, I just made $50,000. Suck it. That aint risk.

Blastyourass

ScottDaMan

Crystal ball, yeah, those 50 sites I mentioned before, 300,000-750,000 page sites. YOU suck it

Getting those pages indexed is the hard part, they will be there (millions) but getting good linkbait is the key. BlueHatSEO, booyah. Gave me some good ideas on his blog.

im taking a break from this shit. im on vacation guys. logiik get me my shit before i pull out a can of whip ass and you guys can all just SUCK IT!

Skeletor

Uh Oh, looks like some one has caught the contagious WF_Troll virus.

Reefer420

bya i'm sure you can scrape some resin out of that bowl if you're out of shit...

i agree somewhat - but I feel if you are developing content sites its much more like starting a small business, not like trading.

but if you are doing a bunch of auto gen arb and blackhat shit then you are looking for a big score quickly - is a lot like developing an automated trading strategy (I traded equities for a couple of years).

that being said, you can view this like the market in that you should diversify your niches, ways of monetization, etc in order to spread your risks out.

i also feel like it is 'easier' to succeed at this than at trading. if you trade, you need to do it full time - and it takes a shitload of capital to trade right (that was my problem- I only had $5k and was trading $500k...not much room for error... I still made some cash, but not enought to live comfortably on), but you can start some simple aff sites or small content adsense sites for nearly free - and even program a larger site for under $5k. Once you have those things up and running it's not like you are at the mercy of the market - you control every little detail!

Same could be said for any business. You are making an investment hopefully to get a return on that investment. The trick is to be like rain man and minimize the risk.

The only comparison I would make between gambling and marketing would be a poker player in Vegas.

A good poker player takes calculated risks, gets his money in with the best of it, and exploits his opponents weaknesses. It's skill with a little bit of luck thrown in, but a winning player will keep winning over the long run.

If we're playing the same odds as some guy at a roulette table everyone on this forum would go broke eventually. No one can win playing Vegas odds over the long run.
