Comments on: Web 2.0 Traffic Strategies & Playing Follow the Leader http://www.johncow.com/web-20-traffic-strategies-playing-follow-the-leader/ Making Money Online Blogging by Milking the Internet!

I don't think it's wise to ignore the successful internet marketers but I also think it's unwise to follow more than a couple at a time. Trying to learn from too many people will give you "information overload". Trying to always learn the "new" thing and probably never taking the time to implement any of it.

Building another web2.0 society will not work with all sites built now. Aren't we already members of several sites like myspace, facebook, hi5 and others?

I myself has started something a few months back that is completely against the grain of what most marketers talk about.. and while I am getting allot of eyes & ears, most are waiting for others to jump on board before they push it. It has been an interesting ride so far, and we see only good things in the future..... just waiting for one or two more people to jump on board.. :-) www.oneclicksearchengine.com Cheers, Great Post John.

No blogger can possibly follow all the advice out there so its just case of taking the advice that is pertinent to your products, then apply it, measure it, tweak it, repeat. Find your own niche by just thinking about what you're doing and testing that it works for you.

I understand completely what you mean. Sometimes if you just think about something the answer is obvious. And most of the time if someone else successful is doing something then it is probably a good idea to at least give it a shot, it's probably a good place to start to say the least.

Someone build a gas station at a corner and a few months later the corner has 2 more gas station. They each offer gas but tweak the formula a bit by offering different services like a car wash or specialty coffees. P.S. For Paul McCartney fans, he is coming to <b>Quebec City</b> for a free</b> concert on July 20th. It's part of the 400th year celebration of Quebec City. Expecting a 250 000 crowd not cows. ;) Celine Dion, also free, 100 000 crowd might be move at the same place to get more people.

If a person is expecting results, following the leader is not the way. This goes for any business venture that someone may enter into. Take what others are doing well and change what they are not doing well and you will be successful.

But I have to say I suspect that many of the less customer-focused contingent only sell information once it is starting to lose effectiveness. They milk the strategy for all its worth before selling it for $147. So I love this "think for yourself" post and what you are doing here in your series. Thank you.
