Comments on: Google Pwns Me For 20k A Month http://www.theimalliance.com/search-engine-optimization/google-pwns-me-for-20k-a-month/ The IM Alliance is what will help you distinguish the difference between making it online and not making it online, as well as the many different paths you can take to financial freedom.

The problem is though, no matter how you look at it Google is still King when it comes to natural traffic and the rate at which it converts. Myspace & Facebook can be an alternative source but usually the traffic you gain from them will not be anywhere near as high a conversion rate as will a natural search through the Search Engines. Lets face it SE's are a critical part of doing business online. The other most critical part (and an alternative traffic method) is building good relationships with other experts in your field and tying together JV opportunities and service tie ins.

Myspace and Facebook are prime examples of companies that are dependent of Google search engines. Even YouTube was independent of it and then they were bought out by Google.

It amazes me how many of these technical "gotchas" there are. I got caught by some myself... first I managed to ban Googlebot from the site when trying to keep out harvesting bots and then my programmers redesigned the site architecture and inadvertently created tons of duplicate pages. :-/ The site has been suppressed in Google and I lost almost all traffic. Oh well, it'll come back, eventually. :) Ouch Marc!
