For what it's worth, a small time LL owners input on trying to make it in a big LL owners world: |
Thanks for the encouragement, Jel! No need to be modest.
I've seen your site all over the SERPS. Looking forward to your participation.

This is something I'm hoping to talk about here today. Looking at the available scripts, I have my own favorites. But, as you've spelled out, you really only know what's a good script once you use it. Anyway will be posting links to some and anyone can discuss the pros and cons.

This stuff really interests me. I know how I'd approach this normally but I'm thinking there is a specific way for feeding link lists. I've bought a few domains that I'll be using for this purpose.

It's encouraging to know there's light at the end of the tunnel. The best way I can view this, motivationally, is to look at it like an offline business. The thing with internet buisnesses is there are ways to make a quick buck and ways to make a steady, dependable buck. If I broke even at the end of the year with a shop in my town, for instance, I'd be happy. Its great to hear you've come through the tunnel.

I could have seen myself doing this as well. Will remember this one definitely.

You're too modest but very happy to have you sharing your knowledge!
