How did you style the photo in this post so fast? There are many reasons to keep a blog sticky – techcrunch.com is a great example, and Arrington is making tons & tons of money off it.

Or is it that hair loss leads to web success?

Hmmm makes one wonder.

Gayla, I also noticed there is a lot of baldness going around over at Elite Retreat. Makes you wonder if Websuccess leads to Hair loss.

I can’t wait to read full details! So what’s it like to be under so much pressure to come back and teach the minions?

Hope you’re having a wonderful time hanging with the bald guys we all admire most

Hey Wendy!
Girl, take the breaks to breathe-baby-brathe!

With guest posters in queue, we’re not expecting you to share all your nuggets of gold! [Though, of course, we know your nature doesn't prevent you from doing so ]

Anyways, like you said “Duh” to niche, smaller sites. I, too, do this and not only do I generate Google Adsense dollars from more content-driven niche-sites, but I’m able to attract particular affiliate programs, books, information products, etc. that are specific to that one target market as well.

You need to see this ’sticky’ blog, as your audience eager to learn from your success–and, now, you and us (your readers) need to apply these skills, time and efforts to apply the techniques to non-blogger-dominated niches, that you’ve discussed here numerous times, as well as have set the foundation for elsewhere.

Now, get back to chillin’ out during your “free time” girl!

Peace-out

BTW: Alex, you are such a toot!

I’m glad you’re getting lots of great info – and again, am so excited that you’re there!

A gentle suggestion for opening your blog up to non industry in-crowd readers – this is from my tech writing background – you might want to use fewer acronyms, or explain ‘em. SEO, SEM, PPC are all things that a new blogger would not know and have to google to understand your blog.

The classic convention is to spell it out and follow it with the acronym in parens the first time in an article – and then acronym only thereafter. And then do that in each article, so it can stand alone.

It’s a pain, but it makes you more accessible…

Happy mental sponge mode!
