Stop Worrying AboutThe Platform, Conentrate On Traffic


It does not really matter whether you use straight BANS, straight Wordpress or BANS Wordpress. All three platforms do exactly what they are designed to do. If the platform fits your needs, use it. The Wordpress aspect gives you access to more product options from different affiliates and a vast endless supply of FREE plugins, however BANS can also be used to show other products as well with a little more modification.

So many people think that merely switching platforms will be a magic key to success. That is the farthest thing from the truth. A good looking site with products from 80 different affiliate programs will do you no good unless the surfer sees it. Stop getting hung up on the platform and start driving traffic to your sites. I could build a straight HTML website using notepad and code in different affiliate products and still achieve the same thing, the platform merely makes it easier.

Everyone likes new toys and gadgets, but the reason so many people fail to make serious money on the internet is the failure to get targeted traffic to their site. Plain and simple. So stop worrying about the platform you use and start concentrating more on driving traffic to whatever platform you use.

Soggy, I've been following all the hoop-la over the WP .vs BANS for months on the BANS Forum and have been thinking the exact same thing. Concentrate on building a quality site with good original content on whatever platform and then work to drive traffic to the site!!This is really not rocket science.

Bill, yes you are correct. People get so caught up in platforms, plugins and mods that they still do not touch content or traffic generation. Granted these are the boring task and low on the instant gratification scale, but pretty modded sites with flashy graphics are just that without the traffic. You can add every free plugin imaginable, but if the right surfer is not seeing it, you will earn very little money.
