   Hi Patrick - thanks for your feedback and analysis, I really appreciate it. You're absolutely right that there is not much content on that page exclusive of navigation, but in its defense the whole point of the page is navigation :) And it

   Hi Patrick - Our goal isn't to charge money to customers who already know about existing brands, but to provide first-hand information ABOUT that brand that customers wouldn't otherwise learn from other sites (including the brand itself). W

   Hi Walter - Thanks for posting your site and describing the changes you've made as well. It's interesting that you've focused on spelling/grammar errors (despite it being a slang site), and still haven't noticed any improvements. We have a

   Thanks, that's helpful information as well. I didn't know about the 410. We used to 301 some pages, but ran into duplicate content issues where Google would continually spider old 301'd URLs (even when there were no longer links pointing to

   Hi Joel - Thanks for the feedback, that's really helpful and you do make a lot of valid points, especially about travel affiliates. We definitely aren't trying to rank for "Hawaii Hotels". Those links are intended as a sitemap to help peopl

   Hi Jerry - I don't know anyone who works in search quality at Google, and they have said a few times that they aren't going to make any manual exceptions. I've filed a "reconsideration request" with Google, and only got a boilerplate respon

   I run a large site that was unexpectedly affected by Google's "Panda" update. There has been a lot of talk on the subject, but most of it is FUD, and I haven't seen many large sites lay everything out for discussion. This is the first post

    A lot of it just takes experience and practice. There are a few good books available. "The Knack" by Norm Brodsky is very good, and the source of the "You don't ask, you don't get quote". The chapter on negotiation is small, but the rest of

    Sure, as long as you keep the page ad and link free, I would certainly appreciate the offer to have it hosted. I want the content to speak for itself. Maybe you can just add a small "credit" link at the bottom to my HN profile. Cheers --

    Do people actually think you are unemployed, or do they just think that what you are doing cannot possibly support you full-time/comfortably? I experience the second reaction fairly commonly. People ask me what my job is, I explain it to th

    Hi David -- There are a few sites like that. You could try travbuddy.com if you are interested in meeting travelers by location or showing them around your hometown, although it has less of a tech slant. couchsurfing.org has more of a backp

    I no longer live in the Bay Area (am in Los Angeles now), but, as an avid surfer and entrepreneur as well thought I'd chime in with some comments. First off, I agree with a lot of the comments here. Living in a new place isn't going to magi

    I agree with this to a point, but I think that it is also important to test out ads from an early stage, just to see how "viable" the business model really is. There are so many variations in placement, eCPM, clickthrough, etc across differ
