Winners and Losers
May 18th, 2009 | by Conrad Walton |I own the site at www.survivor.com. I make some money from advertising and try to create as much content as I can by linking to other people who also talk about the show.
Last night was the finale, which really hits my servers hard, so I stay close and baby sit them to make sure they keep working OK. There’s a peak of traffic during the show, then the next day, everyone stops by and reads all about what happened the night before. The finale and the day after are the two biggest days of the year.

Last night, JT won over his best friend, Stephan. The warrior beat the wizard.

You need to listen to the interview I did with Coach. He was the season stand out for his “over the top” behavior and abundant arrogance. Everyone hated him and we all love to hate someone.
I want to point out the if you search for “survivor” in Google, survivor.com is the second listing, behind the official CBS site. I’ve worked long and hard at that and no other fan site has beat me for that competitive keyword.
Last night, JT won with one tribal council. He made a million dollars in an instant for the work he did over 39 days.
SEO isn’t like that. It’s a new battle everyday. You can be on a trend and do well over time, but it’s still a daily battle. It takes a long time of doing the right thing, over and over again, to make it to the top, and then someone else can come along and take it away from you anytime, if you don’t watch it.
I wish we could all win a million dollars in one day. With SEO, we can get the million, but it will take a while. Slow and steady for the long haul will be successful, but you never really “win” and you never really “lose”.
It’s a process that never ends.
