Yes I think some of what you say is right but onpage SEO is still very important. Using some special software (sorry disclosure and all that) I can rank for sites (specially keyword domains) with very few if no back links. However there is not doubt they are extremely valuable.

I think Kurt tried to work on automation strategies but what happened to the bots I am not sure. I know Kurt has done some brilliant work but it seems people are slow to post on here.

Maybe the answer is to grow the membership (helping Kurt?) and then have some tutorials like there were before (see above). I think people fall by the wayside when they don't make millions over night.

I think people find it difficult to leap from a website with traffic to making money so maybe we need a few step by step strategies to say get people to $100 a day, week or what ever.

Then people would become more enthusiastic and feel they were getting somewhere.

The information on here is top notch maybe flies over some peoples head some what especially tools like blog bomb and fatty when WP seems so click and go all those plugin and stuff.

I am convinced the TULEZ could be our secret sauce if we knew how to make sites fast and build from there my suggestions are more step by step strategies to get everyone going then worry more on other concepts.

All to often we have great concepts here but I for one am never 100% certain what to do to make money with these.

Love to see more activity here as there is so much more here than we probably realize.

Keep up the great work and any way I can help please ask.
