Hi guys... I am having an on going debate as to whether decent traffic levels, as well as income is possible WITHOUT using Google (meaning its rankings, youtube allowed I guess!) The argument basically boils down to if traffic and earnings using trash techniques (Yahoo question/answers in a spam manner etc) is JUST short term, or could be long term is the work was applied properly. My own thought is that it is short term only, what do others think?
yahoo answer / youtube can be long term because they are archived and indexed forever ... it does not surprise me if you find question/answer in their database as far back as a few years back
Traffic from Yahoo Answers etc. can be long term if the answers offer real value to the readers! And so with all of theses outlets!
