A Year In The Life of TDW: A Cautionary Tale

Some good info you gave there Preacher. I can say that SMilingPussyLinks.com had a slow start too but is on a roll now. So just hang in there and that loss will turn into profit for sure

Those numbers are better than I would have guessed, but of course, I suck at this. New link lists take forever to become worth owning. If only we were all addicted to internet porn back in the day...

The key, I find, is to maintain a sense of humor about one's lack of success. You need to be able to laugh along while Dr. B, GG, and your own wife mock your inability to make a dollar even though you spend 16 hours per day in front of a computer.

I blame much of my own net poverty on the fact that I was never patient enough to let anything simmer in its juices. I'd build the site, see that there wasn't any traffic, and change it to something else. (WW has been a TGP on at least three separate occasions, a paysite, a massive free site, and a variety of other nondescript sites.) I dream of the day that I own something worth selling.

We weren't talking about me, were we? Shit, I did it again.

Well that's got to be one of the most interesting posts I've ever read, particularly as I'm about to start a LL.
Thank you Preacher.
You've got a quality site there and I'm quite sure your figures will get better and better.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Thank you Preacher...

Funny you should pop in here japamor, because it should be noted that japamor was my first submitter account ever created and put up one of the first user submitted free-sites on my list and has been submitting ever since.

Let me know when you need some trades for your new project.
