I think you are right on the chili, Steven, about the current need to make every effort to locate related sites with authority to publish on. Is that easy? Of course not. As you point out it will take some serious content to attract the favorable attention of successful marketers on the Internet, but it can be done with the amount of focus and effort.

Thanks Steven, interesting read. Ezine Articles is not my preferred first point of submission anymore either. I like my own site to have the very best content first.

I really like this post Steven. I find your honesty in your posts really refreshing because you tell it as it is! I've learnt a lot from your posts!

Well, it's about time, Wagenheim!

Is this going to be a regular thing or were you bored tonight? LOL!

I hope things will go good in 09 for me and you mate

2009 is going to be a hell of a year for me, i know it. I don't mean just internet marketing wise either. Good luck to you steve.

If you get a chance, read my blog and tell me what you think.

To reply to your blog post, i'm not defending you, everyone has the capability to be an ass. It's what makes us strong willed. As long as we are not narrow in our thinking then others should also be able to realise this and change.

We're all unique.

Congratulations on your success. It sounds like the hard work paid off!

"No matter how thorough you
are, some people will still have problems. It
is very difficult to cover every single nook
and cranny."

Very true. And it's often not just a lack of covering certain things. It's the inherent difficulty in explaining something you know well to someone who has no knowledge of it. It's not necessarily that the concepts are hard but that we're not sharing a common frame of reference with our readers.

Have you read the book Made to Stick?

One of the things they pointed out is that "Becoming an expert in something means that we become more and more fascinated by nuance and complexity. That's when the Curse of Knowledge kicks in, and we start to forget what it's like not to know what we know."

Anyway, just something to munch on. Take care!

I concur with a lot of your points Steven, but really in all honesty, is there such a need for profanity?

Your last lines are eloquent.
Good points can be made without the "Screaming and the Shouting".

Nice blog post, pitty about the #&%@

Ok. Sold! Adding you to Google Reader...

Ok, Steve, I like to read blogs, but I like to read blogs that I know are going to add content on a regular basis.

So what are your goals with this blog? 1 post a week? Think you'll post more often?

Let me know, bro. Keep it coming.

Steven, you got into blogging too?

Wow, your EVERYWHERE in WF :-)

Steven,

Great to see you WF blogging. I'll be following you closely.

I have friends with recording studios that fit into a walk in closet. Finished CDs can't be distinguished from the "big" guys.

Thanks for blogging,
George Wright
