The Great Adventure
February 4, 2008I used to think that opportunities for business died out a long long time ago. I thought that all that we were left with are pyramid scams and shady deals.
Now, I am beginning to think otherwise. I see all the internet activity and all the advertisements. I no longer see clutter on the webpage, instead I see revenue.
The internet is not a place for free content, it is a place for cheap advertising. This has driven sites to develop more content so that more people visit them and click on the ads. The business model is just wonderful, its so sure, so simple, so old-school.
In actuality the internet has become more like the train station, you go into it, pay a minimal fee and are attacked by ads. Some ads are over 6 ft tall and advertise bone strength, some are more discreet preferring the classic poster types and others are innovative like images of people pasted on the train’s doors.
We brand the internet and its associated businesses as harbingers of tomorrow. In reality they are just reincarnations of the past with new trappings.
