I think part of my response was cut off.

Next time I’ll try to keep in mind that brevity is the soul of wit

This article starts to explore some interesting themes about emerging markets and has a few tips for everyone — for example, Hawaii is a good place for a second honeymoon (I’ll try to keep that in mind — I haven’t crossed the threshold for the 1st yet – Hahaha)

Seriously, your company and the work your company does represents an emerging type of risk management that most likely will be around for a long time (as long as people search the Internet and look to the Internet for information) — you have tapped a growing niche in the information market.

Your suggestion to optimise websites has a kernal of truth for every affiliate whether large or small. Every affiliate needs to “tell a search engine what [is being sold]” — The information helps me [as an example] because this is something I need to do. One area of my site did really well back in 2003 and 2004 but last year I was disapppointed — now I have a clue: I covered way too many topics on one page and I repeated that formula to my my site’s detriment. In fact my brother recently said to me, “Your site is so psychedelic that I get lost” — so you can imagine what my visitors/customers might be feeling
That is an area I am working on and now with the changes of Web 2.0 there are so many things a webmaster needs to keep on top of!

When you say, “We basically buy traffic from Google” — is that the same as using Adwords or is that different? Perhaps what you are doing is buying traffic on a more wholesale scale than a webmaster who uses PPC and/or Adwords (I don’t engage in those campaigns, I only know what I read)?

Inventories/interest, site demographics, etc. these are topics for all affiliates.
Browser “wars” — sites built for IE vs. other browsers — that’s an important topic for all webmasters as well.

Your quote “I’d rather be a big fish in a small pond” is a good one for every affiliate pursuing a niche market

I enjoyed the interview and I always learn something from your posts — keep posting!
