Theme: Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win

October 31, 2007

It’s true. Winners never quit and quitters never win. A winner may have wanted to quit, but they didn’t. And they won. And quitters may have wanted to win, but they quit. And they lost. Quitters never win and winners never quit. This is a philosophy that every webmaster MUST live by. You must live by the philosophy that you can never be defeated. You can never be bested. You can never be destroyed. We are in a business that requires only a great passion. I blog and I can’t even write HTML. I make money and I can’t code a site for my life. We’re in a business that requires only a great passion.

My friend at KingNomar.com talked about how he had often thought of giving up. Hell, I have thought about giving up numerous times. I can remember Ramon and I talking on MSN and saying, “man, every month and we’re still not making much. Why can’t we succeed?” Every single month, we’d have the same conversation. And there were times that I told him to shut the hell up and keep at it and the same for me. If it wasn’t for Ramon’s friend Anand, he’d have sold out. Why do I pinpoint Ramon? Because he is an example of the same stress we ALL have. We all want to give up sometimes.

Build up your friends! Friends are there to make the transition from a small time webmaster to a big time webmaster easier. Furthermore, they make it incredibly possible to bounce ideas off of and finally, they help you when you want to give up. I have thought about selling this blog. I’d sell it, make the money and then do something with it to try and grow elsewhere. But then I realized. I have a passion for blogging. And it is that PASSION that keeps me coming back for more every single day. Every single day I come back and write because I love what I write about. Winners never quit and I want to be a winner. I want to succeed. If you’re EVER feeling like you want to give up, just tell a friend and if he is a friend, he’ll support you. Best of luck and remember…Winners do not quit.

Theme: Page Rank Update Finally Came Around

October 29, 2007

The Google Slappings are all done. Now the update has come and I have to say, for me, things actually look pretty good with the update. There is only one problem about the update. It is ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT! Page Rank never really meant anything for webmasters other than the power to sell links. So, I don’t really understand why it is so important now that Google is penalizing people for buying/selling links. Regardless, it has happened.

A lot of my friends have seen a great reduction in their Page Rank, but all of us have the exact same mentality about it: who cares? Now that we aren’t allowed to sell links, why should we really care? Why should we even bother dealing with it? The point is…Page Rank used to make people so happy, but until it has relevance in the search results, no one is going to really be anxious about it unless they are link sellers. And, they’re bound to lose it regardless. So, DormEarning went to PR3, but it means nothing. Oh well!
