Do you think there's any real traffic in Web 2.0 yet?

Here is the thing that I find kind of ironic about the 'interactive' web 2.0 thing. Its an old technique that never got life. Dial in amateurshomepage.com in the way back machine and that was a free, user submitted content site with a BBS and a chat.. a friend of mine built the chat for Roger way back in the day. I helped the guy (rog)move from a 100% free site to a members site. The interactivity there was GREAT! I got to know a lot of people from around the world and see the girls naked all the time... this was back in 1996-97 as I was just learning about 'making money' with porn.

Now it is called Web 2.0... go figure

But if you can develop a relationship with your audience there is going to be money in it for you.

Hey Jay.. I have hit social 2.0 sites in mainstream and adult. I did/do get traffic from it, always some but not always a lot.

I finally figured out what the largest advantage was, in my opinion. Yes, sometimes you will get bursts of traffic - however you always get free backlinks, and with very little social interaction from visitors it can create free-easy-continual backlinks.

Adult and mainstream wise, I did not do so well directly trying to make money from the traffic, but the advantages to easy backlinks was clear.

Yup...that is true. The thing with porn, even though most people love it -- they don't want to come out in the open with it. Adult stuff is still a "dirty little secret for most people" -- therefore it has a long way to go in Web 2.0
