What Do You Miss The Most?
 

What do you miss the most from when you started out in this biz? My strongest memory is when you could submit unlimited pages to search engines and get listed in minutes. We had 50k search engines traffic in 2 weeks Smile What about you?

In my first 6 months building free sites I had several free sites on the first page of Google search results for "naughty teachers", "sexy teachers" "nasty teachers". Now all I see is junk.

Being able to make multiple sales off of freesites with crappy vidcaps and blind links everywhere. |cry|

Being excited to see 10k visits.

There are too many things from back in the day that I miss to list. I think I miss my 1984 Chrysler New Yorker the most. :)

the only thing in this bizz what i miss is, are all the people i knew and all disapeared............

But you meet new ones Stuveltje :)

yes but also those will all disapear ..........i hate i see people i like disapear i only see the oldies staying around, but every new one i mett in all those 6 years...all disapeared, oke 3 stayed, thats SUCKSSSSSSSSS|shocking|

People come and go Stu. At least 3/4s of the people I knew at the start are gone.

I promise I won’t leave you Stu :D |smooch|

I miss the days when a listing on PK or DMOZ = a lot of signups

and the ancient times when greeny had long hair :D

most of all i miss willyb and his guitar playing on ANS's radio show

Cheer up Stu you will always have me and babymaker. The bookend lunatics |crazy|

I have to agree with the SE listings. So much harder and so much more work involved to get a first page listing nowadays. I miss all the good traffic sites (tgp's etc) and the fact that the webmasters werent even thinking about selling submit passes. But it does help keep the spammers and cheaters away.

AC/DC |headbang|
Those were some good times |thumb

I miss the checks that used to arrive daily..then it went to weekly.. now maybe monthly.. soon yearly. and the extra 00's at the ends of them.

I miss the 1.5-1.6 exchange rate the US dollar use to have.

Year 2001 $10,000 US = $16,000 Canadian
TODAY $10,000 US = $10,800 Canadian


:( :( :( :( :(

yesterday I got .067!!

the exchange rate for the dollar is really low at the moment, but I make more money then before so I am making the same money.
Not quite relaxing, but thats life :)

i am probably thinking different, i changed my real boss working job for the net, ( and i have to mention here i dont have to work, but i like to work) but i still miss the people i dealed with everyday, the joking around and bugging them , in this bizz one thing i notice all say" oh cool you work for yourself", so no boss after your butt, but there is one difference, when i worked for a boss i worked less hours, working from home also give you the opportunity to work more, when i worked for a boss, i came home and my job was done, in this bizz there is no time done, there is always something to do, i changed that months ago, because i remmebered why i started this biz, working my own hours and not for a bozz, how come all work much more hours then when they work for a bozz..........something to think about:D

What I miss the most is not being here in 96... even 2000 would do... sigh
