So – I’m gonna step back in time just a bit and get back to some of the very basic things that have been working for me on product review sites over the past few months. If you recall from a few days ago, I still lack focus… and due to that haphazard way of building product review sites in volume, I have definitely seen a few things working better than others.
I confess, in the last 90-120 days – I have added more than 30 review sites. The following items …
My name is Mark and I lack Laser and Pinpoint focus – there, I said it! Now where’s my fucking coin?
Over on the ReviewAzon forum, a newer member asked a very interesting question… that had me, once again recognizing what many people have said is my biggest area of opportunity.
“If you only had 20 hours a week for Internet Marketing, How Would You Spend it? Would you focus on ONE site, or develop MANY sites?”
My reply, which I will get later, was prompted by one of those rare moments when …

Flippa is a great place to buy a prebuilt website of all levels, and also a great place to sell a site you may no longer want, or one that has great promise, and you just want to cash out early. That said, it’s no different than buying something on eBay, and you really need to use the buyer beware approach, before you enter into any binding transaction.
Soggy Dave brought this up in a post he wrote the other day about Really knowing what you are buying on Flippa. In …
Are there days when you just feel like pounding your head onto a brick wall, because nothing you are doing seems to yield the results you anticipated? Yeah… me too!

I hate to keep harping on how bad eBay has been hurting lately, …
Not sure if anyone else is noticing it, and I am sure someone will see otherwise – but it looks like the Google Caffeine Update is being rolled out to more data centers. On several well established and steady traffic sites – I have noticed significant changes in the visitors being referred from the Google search engine over the past 24-48 hours.
Late last year, Matt Cutts talked more about the Caffeine Update coming after the holidays… and truthfully, I thought they had already been made! I noticed changes in mid-January… …
