I think your posts have good content, the key issue here currently is delivery and audience. Normally creating good content would be the first challenge, but you seem to have good content already. Perhaps you should look to change it to fit

Think about it in the context of if your business was an offline shop. Think about the SEO / Organic search as being how busy the highstreet is that your shop resides. Then think about the amount of transport links (roads / trains / airport

Strangely, I was writing some CSS the other day and thought 'why doesn't something like this exist'. Glad to see you've produced a working version. Perhaps the business model should be, free for simple use, but chargeable for more complex s

This is so true. When I dream of 'winning the lottery', I don't dream of laying on sandy beaches. I dream of starting a new start up, knowing that I can have enough FU money to take risks and make it great.

An excellent concept. The reality is, most 'ideas' can be tried out in it's minimum form fairly quickly - with the added benefit that from day one, you are getting ranked in google, getting feedback, collecting email addresses and taking si

As has been said. Match / eHarmony were not free services. That was what made PlentyOfFish unique at the time. If you go and find the founders blog you can track the entire process of the site (like BingoCreator), including his girlfriend h

There is a difference between 'clean' and simple, like hacker news (which is good) and ugly / cluttered like many of the sites shown as examples in the post.

While I agree with the author's points of keeping things simple and the importance of a good product / functionality underneath the aesthetics. Plentyoffish was one of the first / earliest online dating site which went free, when all compet

It's worth noting, that all of the sites shown share another thing in common. They were all established / founded in the early web. I'm not saying that there was not competition, or that their success was because they were first - they stil

In my opinion this is the best book out there I've read relevant to starting your own start up! http://www.startupbook.net/ I've read quite a few and where some are in sightful / useful when scaled or when funded, this book is the best I'

It's the fact it takes the relatively simple concept. 'We are exploring their dreams for data' and pushes it to a unnecessary level of complexity. A limbo state within a dream, within a dream, within a dream, (within a dream?). It reminded

This was exactly how I felt when I left the cinema. Although it was a good film, I felt the execution of the idea felt sloppy. It had promise to be truly amazing, but often purposely became confusing in the aim of seeming to be clever. I th

You mean, like they're noticing a 'bearish gartley' pattern (in audio) and acting appropriately? My point was, that although these can be 'indicators', you still require a human mind to determine whether the trade should be made. If it was

If you take 80 people and tell them to randomly play the stock market, buying or selling - you will always have some that succeed and some that fail over the short term. The question is, if the same people who 'succeeded' are put back to th

I've read a lot of interesting comments on here, but what is everyone's stand point on support. Do you offer free support? Do you charge? Do your clients ask for it? Obviously a change request is chargeable, but what about a bug? I used to
