Are you a Surfer or Foundation Layer?

Posted on January 15, 2009 in Affiliate Tips  

Some of you may read the title and be like what the world is he talking about today… Well today i am posing the question are you are Surfer or a Foundation Layer? Gues i should define these more so in affiliate terms:

Surfer: Some one that rides the overall current and waves. Stays on top of whats hot and tries to grab the big waves, but at times crashes and burns. But more so flows with the general direction of current things.

Foundation Layer: Builds things out for more of long term gains. Not just looking for the quick buck and not easily distracted. Usually builds out fuller sites with more unique content, puts more time into building out linking, seo etc.. not in it for short.

So what are you? Are you hoping on the latest diet offer, remember the days that you rode the ringtone wave, still trying to squeeze the last drop out of the dating wave? Or are you building long term usefull tools, usefull sites, usefull communities, usefull resources and not having to worry is google going to ban my ad because you are doing something sneaky…

Personnally i am more so a foundation layer but on occasion i pull out my surf board to ride the wive :) .

    Very interesting post… I have been a surfer for some time in the affiliate world.. and have wanted to be a foundation layer but unfortunately the rush of the current waves keep drawing me back.
