Welcome to WB! ;)

Great quote by Einstein, no doubt. However, I don't think that he was talking about semantics when he made that quote, but rather the understanding of physics -- or any other field of real knowledge...

I agree. The first time I read about the old greek term "eudaimonia" I had a realization. We need to pay attention to several areas in life to be happy. We need to challenge ourselves and feel that...

:D

Nerd's will get it I'm sure. I found a few more:

"A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. Upon being asked the price, the bartender responded, For you? No charge.”

"What did the...

Wonderful story. Of course it's possible, but persistance is key. And I would add passion to that as well.

Consider this:

It might seem harsh from an...

Well deserved, Steve, congrats!

I enjoy your "straight to the point" approach in the way that you answer questions, and they are obviously well educated which makes all the difference imo.

In...

Of course this has been one of the "stories of the week", but I tend to agree with TG here. There are always two sides to a story, or as a wise man once said: There are always three sides to a story...

I doubt it, because I was just out on the porch and there was nothing but the usual stars. (Not that they are not spectacular in themselves)

A quick look on Google maps shows that my city is just...

I think Jack makes a great point: you have to start somewhere. Often times it's difficult, or even impossible, to get the best solutions from the get go if you're a single person business or say just...

This may be somewhat unrelated to the initial question, but it's something that I've been thinking about: Is pinterest more more of a "girl thing"?

I'd be very interested in seeing the user stats...

What are southern lights? lol

As someone who has grown up in the northern parts of the world, the northern lights aren't really that special. We had a similar event around Christmas, and the sky...

I guess this was yesterday, but in any event: Happy birthday Lisa!

I hope you had a great day with your family and friends - spread those wings and fly!

I agree - good response Steve. Of course many of the marketing efforts that are doing well are white hat, no disagreement there.

I personally thought the "heart attack" story was pushing it a bit;...

Hehe, that's a good spirit Olinda!

Not sure if this is some kind of "spam" effort, because you mentioned 2buildawebsite (.net?), and not 2createawebsite.com which is Lisa's site. Finding our own...

Far enough to get their share I guess.Profound, no doubt Steve. But if we want to still play the game as it were, where do we draw the line ethically, marketing wise. Is there even a line?

Welcome Cheri!

I'm quite sure that you'll learn a lot here. No more sleepless nights from now on, only a ridiculous amount of web related work. Welcome to WB!

Hey sammyspam abd rperez434!

Do you guys think marketing is basically getting people's attention? As in: What we pay attention to, we become conscious of? What do you guys think?

I think that Steve makes a good point - traffic and profit arent directly related as is often suggested on the web. You could make a decent profit on a smaller niche, if it's done right.

However,...

Yeah, it's pretty cool! Seems like Pinterest is becoming very popular. Just goes to show that you have to keep up with new developments on the web all the time. Facebook & YT today, Pinterest...

What?

I'm thinking, first of all, this is not the way to do marketing.

Secondly, I'm like:...

That's right:

What I was referring to.

Exactly. Instead of byuing your third book on some program that teaches you how to copy what others have done in the past, find a new and creative approach. For $10 bucks I definitely think it would...

I've been looking at some products promoted through CB lately. I think I've found some good matches that provide recurring payments.

I know you recommend testing the products yourself, Lisa, and I...

Also, VigLink and Skimlinks pay via PayPal. Those are not individual aff programs, but each one of them are connected to several thousand programs. Might be worth checking out for some.

Is putting too many ads above the fold really detremental to a site? We've seen this come out from the Google plex recently as soemthing you shouldn't do.

I've never really outdone it, but I've...
