"Webbing" Full time for Three Months

October 2007

At the three month mark . . .
 
Five NEW websites and a complete reword/overhaul of an existing site.  Several updates and SEO (search engine optimization) improvements on existing sties.  
 
All that activity means I have been working hard (though it doesn't really feel like work as it is enjoyable and purely self-directed and for my long-term self-benefit).
 
Many people say that when you build a new website that you should do your best and then forget about it for three months - then go back and see how it is doing.  Well . . . it is hard for me to forget about them - so I do watch the statistics - but I have noticed that around three months the search engines start to give you a little attention.  I've also noticed that around nine months I seem to get a real bump in traffic from search engines - I guess they figure you are here to stay and worth noticing then.  A few sites also get some immediate notice, though not in a big way.  Patience . . .
 
Persistence is the #1 quality that will help you succeed in this business - nothing seems to happen quickly.  Many things - and your successful niche - depend on a system of discovery.  Go get 'em, - yes - but also hang in there!
