Not to fear failure. I absolutely love that one. There is so much fear behind this that it is, as you said, crippling. A great reference and reminder for writing great post, and I love your “writing voice”, as my little brother calls it!

Finally I put online a long ago created blog about fountain pens, and wow! – it seems it’ll be earning at least $50/month in adsense. Not much, I know, but it’s better than nothing. With a bit of tweaking I hope to increase traffic and CTR, which potentially leads to $100/month. I’m #1 in MSN and Yahoo! for main keywords for months now, even after WP theme change, and it’s awesome.

Hi Lisa,
I skipped lunch today to find info on wedsite hosting etc for a friend. I “stumbled” on your site, and haven’t stopped reading as yet, it’s like eating my favorite comfort food, with each bite I become hooked.

Reading about topics you have commented on and the simplicity with which you convey your point, the manner in which you do it, is by far the BEST I have come across. It was totally worth my time. Your method exemplifies my favorite qoute, “It’s not what you learn, it’s what you teach”

Thanks for sharing your hard earn knowledge and experience with us it’s greatly appreciated. I wish you continued success in your business and personal life for 2009 and beyond.

“Inspired and Reassured”

HI CB Webmaster,

3.4 seconds is kind of short. That could mean your traffic is not very targeted. Where are you getting your traffic from? Generally search engine traffic gives you longer views per visitor because it’s targeted. But if you’re getting traffic from places like Digg, StumbleUpon, forums, etc. then I can understand why it may be lower than average.

My average is usually around 3-5 minutes.

Hi Lisa,

It’s funny how people in different locations can be thinking the same thing at the same time! Last night I was writing in my blog about how I noticed my viewers only stayed on a page for 3.4 seconds. Do you think this is the “realistic” average page view?

btw if you want to see what I wrote my posting is at:

Oh and thanks for your great site – I’ve been following it on blogger.com because they allow me to follow the blogs I choose and I think yours has quality articles!

Take care,
CB Webmaster

I am now on my second SBI website. I am a frequent visitor to your website and everytime I visit I find something new that inspires me.

I agree with step 5. I also have had at least 5 websites that have failed. I wasn’t following the right advice. Now that I have found SBI and 2createawebsite.com I am on the right path.

Thanks for the great advice and tips.

I’m so glad I read this, especially number two. I have had several people tell me they bookmarked my site. They didnt order, but they sure bookmarked it and some of the products specifically. Glad to know its the norm!

Hi Lisa,

Your Assumption No.1 did not work on me. Why ? because I know I am always in Learning Mode when I am reading your articles, comments or replies.

Since I accidentally “stumbled” upon your forum in Websitebabble, I have practically read every links, every articles, every videos and every words on your website and blog. My next mission is to read through all your Forum Contents !

I have never been so engrossed in anyone’s Forum or webpages because of one reason…. they DIG AROUND THE BUSH !

Your posts, comments, articles is similar to a Teacher teaching their students what to and what not to do… plain and simple !

Keep it up and thanks for the learning that I am receiving from your good guests too.

I hope to be a regular contributor on your blog or forum some day.

Cheers !
William
