It’s very tempting to keep pursuing new ideas in search of the holy grail of internet wealth. This seems to be what most internet marketers seem to do. A bit like planting a seed and not watering it and caring for the plant until it is fully grown. Of course, you have to be able to tell when a site idea is going to work or not.
I almost fell into the same trap myself but thankfully I stuck with urgentclick.com Other sites I own tick over but I don’t have enough time to look after and develop them. Sites with high PR for example. When I look at what some webmasters are saying on forums, I realise I have some valuable sites on my hands since these people get almost no traffic and poor search engine ratings. Maybe they spend too much time on forums?

So what I’m trying to say is that if you have a good idea and your site is getting visitors, build on it. It takes time, but if each month is an improvement on the last, stick with it.

So I have been making steady improvements to my sites. With Urgentclick.com it started by finding out which pages were most visited and tidying them up. Then, I improved the site template based on my increased knowledge of php and css.

Now I’m at it again, improving my directory by replacing my simple php scripts with content management software. I’ve hacked this software to suit my requirements and fix some bugs. But it’s all about improving and tweaking what is working for me.

It may look a bit freaky, but so what? I got bored with “professional-looking” sites.
