how did he make $3million/yr [Mar. 22nd, 2006|05:36 pm] His money was made after doing the fancy server stuff. Anyone trying the same thing would hit a road block. Why? It is due to the huge expense of getting past the spike in traffic. Most people do not know what they need. So, they have to hire somebody, to tell them what to do. Most of the time, that person makes more money creating a complex system.

The misleading part is anybody can do this. It is not true you can only do this with access to money or code skills like him. Suppose I get a huge spike and make a lot of money with adsense. You do not see that adsense money for over a month (almost two months if it starts at the begining of the month). If you do not have the money when the traffic spikes, you are dead. You lose that momentum. Most sites have a hard time with traffic spikes. It is worse with a sustained high level of traffic. If the traffic is coming at a slow steady pace, nobody invests in a big infrastructure until it is too late. If you were real frugal, and saved your money while growing, you might catch it in time. However, you would be lucky to get half of he did. It is hard justifiying the effort for that kind of traffic, based on your current growth. This is especially true when very few people get to that level. Myspace profile Myspace blog Backgrounds & Layouts Myspace backgrounds Myspace profiles It is what the 90's was about. Most of websites/companies went out of business when the traffic never came. link
