I've left and came back to BHW several times over the last two years, and I've never had an urge to open a GOODBYE/HELLO thread about it.
It was great when i first joined because i found out so much more information than i found anywhere else and the great ebooks, automated software, plugins etc made available free in the download section were a god send.
The internet has certainly got tougher what with the spam-guards all over the social networks and search engines, so members making money are becoming even more secretive with their methods than ever. So i guess this is why it seems there is a lack of community, because everyone is keeping tight lipped and not giving too much away.
BHW is a great source of information to me simply because its relevant and always right on the pulse of current SEO and internet marketing trends.
I've made sod all this year so far and i'm a member who has made 10's of thousands in IM, REASON: in the past i went for the get rich quick methods that got saturated quickly, now i'm concentrating adding content to my website to build authority that will last more than a few weeks or months.
The game has changed and members need to learn to adapt or make zilch.
