Traffic Vs Content

by Dave Gilbert Web Entreprenuer

I'd like to start this article by asking a very simple question based on 2 examples i am about to write.

Example 1:

You visit a site that appears very active with lots of members posting almost every minute but they all seem to be posting about the same site/s very few of the posts are actually informative or of a social nature most a little more than an affiliate link.

Example 2:

You visit a site where activity seems fairly low and spaced out however each post is individual and contains usefull information or a social interaction, affiliate links are rare or not present at all and the membership seems to grow slowly.

Question:
Of these 2 examples which would you join given that example 1 probably has a high rate of scams being promoted and a good possibility of spam and example 2 would ovbiously be safer but have a much lower and slower take up rate for your business offers.???

The reason i ask this is because most will choose example 1 which is why a lot of webmasters seem to turn a blind eye to obvious scams or spammers using the sites live feed to continually blast their crappy offers to the membership, until webmasters clean up their act and do their own due dilligence on offers members wish to expose the other site members too and refuse to accept the trade off of allowing identified scams to be openly promoted on their networks in order to gain massive traffic numbers the net will always be a minefield that can blow up in the face of the unwary.

Mass traffic does not mean you are joining a quality network in fact communities that are hyperactive can be the worse places to post your offers simply because within minutes of posting your offer is likely to be buried beneath a hundred or more post, see as post activity rises exposure time decreases and in some cases exposure is so fast that before you can see your post in the sites feeds it has already dissappeared off the page.

Networks that seem to be slow or to some extent inactive can be a sign of quality and reliability where scams and spam are virtually non-existent and once discovered quickly removed, these networks provide the perfect starting place for newcomers to the internet and for new income opportunity seekers, especially if they also provide areas filled with training materials posted by highly skilled and respected people.

The bottom line here is if you chose example 1 then there is every chance you will fall victim to a scam if you chose example 2 then it's likely you have been scammed in the past or have been lucky enough to find a decent educator who has explained the relationship between traffic and risk.
