Congrats! I think a lot of people get way to worked up worrying about SEO and such and forget to worry about the important things. While you not consdier yourself to be much of an SEO expert, I have been wishing for a bit more free time so that I could get some more things going and contact you for some tips/information/advice

Your website was perhaps the first one I got drawn to right from the dawn of my own web history, and the main subject, however not the only subject I was interested in, was SEO. I learned heaps from your highly valued advice (various), and yes you are very popular out there. You also make the reading jazzy by adding in matters from your own personal life whose make the reading extra interesting.

Saying all off this, I have progressed in my own web work, since the hard beginning when I started only to digest all the tech info from you. But I still read what your write, and what your long time visitors write. I am sure I have thanked you before…

Happy New Calendar Year 2009 to you Mate and, the same to all yours!

I agree, master sounds very egoistical. Expert is nice.

Congrats my man! Do yourself a favor though, whenever faced with the options, always go with “Expert” or even “Coach”, my personal favorite lol…

“Master” is too egotistical, and “Guru” is just short for *full of crap*.

If you know how to make thousands of dollars from Adsense and many others don’t, you’re definitely an Adsense guru, and even if you’re not, you know what you’re doing. All the best for 2009.

“When I first started, I didn’t know how difficult it would be. A lot of people when they make this discovery, they close up shop. I couldn’t do that because if I did, I would feel like a failure.”

Oh, I SO relate to that statement you made! I am also very competitive by nature – and I married a very competitive person, which just adds to my problem. In fact, before we married, we didn’t speak for 3 days because I beat him at golf (it’s amazing we even GOT married….haha!)

Anyway – I think what you said is very important. When we first look towards any form of internet marketing, it is “sold” to us as being easy.

It’s not.

You have to want it so badly and be willing to fail A LOT before you see any success. Being able to have your web pages found organically is one of the biggest challenges. Even basic on-page SEO is something that we all struggle with when new – and it is such an important skill to have.

CONGRATS on the recognition your post received – it is so well-deserved!

Happy New Year!

Congrats. With that income, you are definitely an expert in something.

And yes, I agree that many people do over-compensate SEO. In most cases, for example, basic optimization does work. However, advanced SEO techniques – such as strategic placement and density of keywords – do have merit.
