Like Dee and Lee, not taking the keywords seriously. This is like putting a random digit on your front door just because it's a number - not even your own house number - and hoping people will find you. Also not backlinking to any great extent, which I could hardly have done successfully anyway with keyword-deprived anchor text.

Doing things because I thought they were 'expected' by other people, like offering hosting with the websites I sold. I loved building websites, but hated being responsible for other people's up-time 24/7. These days I just sell the sites, and offer hosting through an affiliate link. If it's not 'expected' - by me - to make me happy, then it's not happening.

Not reading the Warrior Forum a lot sooner. I encountered the forum a couple of times in the years before I joined, but it all seemed so over my head. If an eBook I read by Big Mike through pure chance one Christmas hadn't got me interested enough to pitch in, it would all still be going over my head now.

Neglecting to use the narrow upholstery nozzle when hoovering my keyboard. You can really miss a colon key when you're writing php If I knew then how perilous housework could be, I'd have abandoned the whole sorry concept much earlier

Probably one of the biggest mistakes I made was not realizing what a huge impact the right keywords had on my success. Not only did I not choose the keywords carefully I didn't use them for their full effectiveness.

For example I'd slap any ole name as the name of the page as long as it was marginally related to the topic. Not a good idea. Use the keyword phrase as the name of the page and the file.

I didn't check to see what AdWords paid for the keyword phrase. That affected my AdSense revenues.

For example *eliminate bad credit* only gets 170 global searches and has a cpc of 5 cents. *repair bad credit* gets 12,000 searches a month and has a cpc of $6.46

That one word change from eliminate to repair makes a big difference in your ADSense revenues and has more people searching for it.

I wouldn't have changed a thing. Every mistake I made helped my
career.

Mistakes are a god-send, if you use them right.

You can't succeed without them.

Making mistakes shows we are human lol...

There is a thread some place here entitled soemthing like " do newbies have it easy these days" well today a person sent me a link to a new article to video system..I was blown away at how fast things are moving in on line marketing. What could be easier then pasting an article in to a screen adding graphix and with one click it converts the text in to audio; result a full blown professional marketing video in 3 minutes.

With so many new marketers hitting the net, many software sellers are realising they need to make stuff real easy for the new starter..
