The web is getting larger daily. Consider this scenario: If you have 1 oodle of value today and the total value of the web is 100 oodles. And Tomorrow you still hold your 1 oodle, while the web value increased to 500 oodles. Your web value just decreased by several hundred percent. This is not unlike what happens daily as the web grows. Are you growing with it?
Good intro to lead generation. After listening to your program I can't wait to hear the next release to learn more about stimulating my website into action.
Thanks!!

This is kind of depressing. Doesn't it imply that if your website is not growing exponentially - like the web - that it is actually shrinking? If there was ever an argument for niche marketing...

Terry-
The task might seem daunting however it is also the opportunity.
Yes a niche is something to consider.
Or niches.
But more importantly why not all?
The size and growth of the net requires us to be publishers.
The days of complete plug n play are way over.

I think this oversimplifies internet growth. If you are more specific with the location of your 'oodles' it might make more sense. If one serves a specific market in a specific area then who cares if overall growth is 100% a year if the growth in your market is say 1-2%?

Badtz -
I chose the word "oodles" to attempt to illustrate total vs singlular.
Location has nothing to do with it. That isn't how Google works.
Google isn't specific the way you describe.
The more pages out there the less valuable a page on the web.
Reputation or anchor text in links pointing to the page,adds meaning to the page as well as on page factors largely the title tag.
That is the only way Google adds the meaning. But the value is based on Page Rank or simply put the relative value of a page. Which is in some fashion or another based on the total of all pages.

It truly can be a daunting task to stay with that growth curve. We're just starting the push of our new real estate site now and information like this really helps.
