I thought 'content was king, are you saying the 'build it and they will come' website model is dead? You mean I might actually have to work at raising money in order to get money? Why is this confusing me? Sornie is right, Gary is right, you are right. People want to start their business (online or off, service or product-based) and hang out a sign or website and wait for the buzz of clients and business relations to come to them. This applies to almost every career undertaking--especially those in the artistic and service industry, especially those who are start-ups. Instead takes hustle, it takes marketing, it takes intelligent flexibility...whether the business is online or offline, non-profit or for-profit, the person has to identify the potential monetizing agents, make their art/service/product fit their needs, and then sell it. Or, be like me, and work in a cubicle. ;-) Are you saying my business mission statement where–

–won’t work?

I thought ‘content was king, are you saying the ‘build it and they will come’ website model is dead?

It's a great, but time consuming, way to use Google to take money away from Google. Reverse engineering at its best. Maybe some bloggers and media companies will try this approach to reign in those advertisers that they've lost.
