Look at shoemoney for example. He began promoting ringtones back in 2003. This was way before the ringtone explosion of 2005-06. Back in those days the keywords were far less competitive and people actually activated the ringtones after clicking the ads.

Then he pioneered Adsense arbitrage years before this forum was even created. Back then adsense arbitrage wasn't on google's hit list and there was far less comepetition as well. In addition, the adsense clicks payed much more.

Then there are the myspace 'spammer' folks who make million on CPA offers and Resource Sites in 2004-05 before myspace began cracking down on marketing and everyone else jumped on the bandwaggon.

Joel Comm made probably hundreds of thousands on his Adsense Ebook in mid 2004 before the Adsense Ebook explosion in 2006. For about a year he was the only one selling ebooks on making money with Adsense.

More recently in early 2006 someone introduced 'Adsense Made Websites' which are for 150 dollars you get a bunch of premade scraped content sites with Adsense ads. Now there are tons of these 'pre made adsense website' offers and marketers can no longer charge $150 for the set, as people are now almost giving them away for free on ebay.

In 2003 before the Florida Update and the 'sandbox' ranking in google for semi competitive keywords wan't very hard to do. A few PR 7-8 links and some coontent and basic on page SEO and you have a lasting top 10 ranking in a few weeks. it was very simple, and marketers made millions. But Google realized that the spammy commercial sites were a threat to the sustainability of Adwords and introduced the Florida update on Nov 2003 followed by the sandbox and a ton of other filters.

So in conclusion innovate and create a trend or capitalize on an exploit before everyone jumps on board or it becomes innefective.

And then make money telling some other poor fools how you did it when it starts to stop working.

Where are you getting these "facts" and dates from? The only thing I think you got correct was the Florida update in 2003.. everything else isn't entirely true buddy.
 
lol and thanks to ajax you can't refresh and just show them the post, very slick
 
Neat post that reminds us of the everchanging trends in this biz, and that staying on top of things and being innovative is what really can make an enormous difference. The actual years and dates listed here are less important.

Some guest on Shoemoney's Net Income show touched on this too, where he said the one thing that all the most succesful marketers have in common is that they were first at finding something new and unexploited - and great at exploiting that new market to the max before everyone else.

Of course the same goes for entrepreneurs throughout history. Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Howard Hughes, etc.

Think ahead and have an open mind! :)

Coming from Europe, the whole U.S. ringtone fad always seems amusing to me. Ringtones were new here and hit it BIG in the late 90's. The big rush that shoemoney monetized well off in the U.S. had already happened 5 years prior in Europe.

But of course, cellphones is one area where Europe always has been one step ahead of the U.S. We had cool phones here with all the latest features years before they became mainstream in the U.S. So ringtones are "so 90's here" and it's amazing to hear someone making it big on something so "old". :)
Monetizing textmessaging services (sms and mms for example) is where it's at here these days. So there's a tip for you americans on here... go look into monetizing text messaging services. ;)

Yeah, lucky for you, we have the FTC!

There is a policy at the FTC that says "If it is cool and it can send a signal, sit and wait on it 5 years before approving it as a communications device." We'd have phones sending fucking holograms to our desktops already if it wasn't for our great and glorious FTC!
