I have made quite a few websites and they tend to do well. It isn’t because I am particularly gifted, it is because of the decisions I make before creating a website.
I do not try (and fail) to make a million zillion dollars on the web.
I do try (and succeed) to make a few hundred dollars a month on websites that are really good and really small (if you make a few of these websites, they add up pretty quick).
The work to money ratio on these types of websites is amazing.
I have sites that make from 1000 to 30,000 dollars a year that only took me a couple of days to create. I never did any link building campaigns for those sites, I never looked at any charts and SEO graphs for those sites, and I never kissed up to anyone or begged for social mentions for those sites. I just made really good websites that were really small. Since I have several such sites, I have a good solid income, I don’t need to have a job and I don’t need to deal with clients.
If that sounds good to you, read on.
I consider 3 key elements while creating a new website because when I consider these elements, I know I can likely make a website in a weekend, have it do well, and get recurring revenue from it. These types of websites also make the web better. I am going to describe at length the process and considerations I use to make web sites. This post will provide actual examples using a website I specifically made for this post which uses the concepts I discuss.
How to Make a Website That Ranks Well Without a Bunch of Links
The first step is to decide what your website is about, here is what I do when I am thinking of creating a new site. I always start with a very important question…
1. Does the web need this website?
The surest path to disappointment on the web is creating a web site that isn’t really needed.
There are millions of things you can make a website about, you need to ask yourself if there is a need for the website you are creating. The websites that tend to do well fill an existing need that is not currently being filled. As you dream up your website, make sure it does not already exist.
The first step in making a great website is to determine if the web site is needed on the web. To make that determination is basically asking yourself if the subject of the proposed website is covered well already in the search engine results.
Probably the best way to find a subject for a successful website is to use your search experience. If you are searching for “odd hats” on Google and all you find is sites that have normal hats, then you know you can make a website about odd hats and have it work and have a good chance of ranking even without a million links.
In contrast, if you search for something on Google and all the results are websites that fufill your search needs, then you probably shouldn’t make a site about that subject.
2. Decide how your website will be better than other websites
If you have decided that the subject of your website is needed, now you have to decide how it will be better than the websites that already exist. This is crucial. Prior to getting a domain name, decide how your website will be superior. To use the “odd hats” example again, if you made a website about odd hats, one of the main ways you could be better is by only highlighting odd, unique hats.
Even if there are a million websites out there on a subject, they may not be filling a need well.
Example: I always search for CSS code to move an image to the left or right, I always forget it and always end up searching for it again. I noticed something very strange when I did.
The top results for image related CSS information often did not have an image in it. There are no visual cues on the pages. I often found myself reading through very verbose explanations when all I really need was a tiny bit of code.
This to most would seem a minor frustration, but to me it was a web site in the making, particularly because there isn’t a website out there that only discusses image related CSS.
I knew if I made a website that was only about image CSS, was very visual, to the point, and simple, it would probably rank well even in an area as crowded as CSS sites. It probably wouldn’t need to get alot of links to start getting traffic.
If you search for “float images left” on Google, nine of the top 10 results do not even have an image on them to display the concept of what it is they are explaining. Articles about image CSS techniques should have images. This could be done better.
3. Only Make Websites That You Can Finish Quickly
One common mistake is to make a website with a subject so broad that it gets bigger and bigger and takes forever to finish and maintain.
Being more comprehensive is a wonderful way to have a better website than someone else. However, you must realize that in the spirit of “making really good websites that are really small” you should not choose a subject that takes more then 10 or 20 pages to be comprehensive. If you can not be a comprehensive resource about a subject in a few amount of pages, you have not found the right subject yet.
There is real wisdom in creating concise laser focused websites that solve a certain problem. This is what “niche” is all about. Niche web sites are talked about all the time, but not many people talk about what a niche site really is.
How do you know if a subject is niche? I do not know how other people decide but here is what I think…
If you can not make a comprehensive website in a weekend about a subject, that subject is not niche.
Understand that well. It is very important.
With my CSS frustration I outlined above, I knew that I could make a website that took care of all of my frustrations and it could likely be less than ten pages.
So I made decided to make a website that would take care of all the gripes I had about the subject and use it as a real example for this post.
Here is the website that I made for this post. It is about… image CSS.
Here are the things I did to make that site and why I did them…
What I did step by step
1. I determined a website was indeed needed about image CSS
The 3 biggest deciding factors I used to make this decision were:
- I had a problem finding what I wanted in Google when searching for image CSS subjects.
- There was no website specifically about image CSS
- Image CSS is a no brainer when it came to traffic. Virtually everyone creating web content, no matter their skill level, will at some point wonder about CSS and images. I did not use tools or charts to determine this, I used my common sense.
2. I decided how my website would be better than other websites… Specifically, I looked at the problems I noticed:
- There was no website that was only about image CSS
- There were no (or very few) web results that quickly and concisely gave me the information I needed.
- There were no images in posts about image CSS techniques, which I found incredibly weird.
- There were not visually simple and pleasant websites about this subject.
- Many of the results I found were overly verbose, and spoke with complicated terms rather than simple terms.
Having seen these problems, I knew that I could be better than those results because…
- My website will only be about image CSS
- My website will have pages that quickly gave the user the information they want
- My website will have visual examples of the techniques using images.
- My website will scream simplicity
- My website will focus only on providing solutions, not history of problems.
3. Get a domain name.
Now that I know how my website will be better, I can look for a domain name.
Amazingly, I found a rather good one…
imagecss.com
That is a good domain name for a website about Image CSS huh? I lucked out on that one. Ten bucks well spent.
4. I need to think about how it will look visually.
I want it to scream simple. I want it to be clear within an instant what the site is about. I want to use images that are friendly. I want it to be visual , visual, visual. This would mean I need to spend some money on images, but whenever I spend money, I want to do it effectively. I decided I would spend about 100/200 dollars on images so the site would look good.
Since this would be a visual website I decided I need to find and use images that were friendly, cute, simple. I used istockphoto.com to find images. Here are some tips when looking for images to use on your new sites…
- Understand that your images need to tie together in a theme. You are not looking for one perfect image, you are looking for a suite of images that work together. This is important so that you site “fits together” well.
- Drawings are less used on the web because they cost more than photos do. Consider this when making your visual decisions. Your website can often look more original if you use stock drawings instead of stock photos.
Knowing these two things, I went to istockphoto.com and searched around…
When I did a search I searched for “cute friendly”…
I then unchecked all of the choices except for “illustrations”…
I browsed through the results and came across an image I liked. Once you find something you like, it is well worth the time to make sure that the artist has other things you like so that you can used the same “look” throughout your site. To do this choose “view portfolio”…
Okay when I did that there were lots of similiar drawings. I had found an image I liked, with a look I liked, and made sure that there were many options available from the same artist.
5. I need to make a good header.
I found an image from the artist I liked that was simple and friendly and that I thought would be a good logo of sorts…
I then got a pen and some paper (cause I’m fancy like that).
I sketched out a design that I thought would be kinda cool using that image as part of the header.
Once I decided it would look nice, I bought the image.
You can also download a copy of the image and use that in your experiments.
I am cheap. I do not want to pay for an image I do not want. Testing is good.
Here is the header I eventually made…
With this header I accomplished a few of my goals (remember one of my gripes was that “there was not a website only about image CSS”).
It is simple and friendly (one of my gripes was that “There were not visually simple and pleasant websites about this subject”).
It is clear what the site is about without even seeing any content, nobody who ends up on this website will be confused if they have found the right place or not. A good website header will let the user know instantly what the site is about.
The tag line is concise and a little bit humorous (non technical and simple).
6. I need to make a good homepage.
I have a domain, I have a header, now I need to figure out what the site should include and how it will be presented. The home page is important, and should illustrate quickly to someone what the site is about.
The information I want to provide is image CSS related stuff. The most common issues I had were how to move an image left, right, center, etc. I decided all this type of info should be quickly and plainly addressed.
I wanted a visual homepage that clearly showed what information you could find at this site. Under the friendly header, I decided to make this for the home content…
The home page has six boxes that cover the main ways an image can be placed in a web page or blog: left, right, center (horizontal), center (vertical), top, and bottom. This solved my gripe that “There were no (or very few) web results that quickly and concisely gave me the information I needed.”
Each box has a visual example of what technique I am describing (remember that my biggest gripe was that there were no visual examples of techniques on other sites. I am better!).
The friendly theme of the header is continued. In the side bar it says a blurb about how the site covers simple and easy ways to do things with images using CSS. It is friendly, simple and provides visual indications of the techniques that are described.
7. I need to decide the hierarchy of the site.
The great thing about small websites is that they have simple hierarchies. You know that advice about “every page should be able to found in two clicks”?. When you have a small site that is easy to accomplish. In fact, every page of my website is linked to from the homepage.
That being said, it is still good to have a list of your pages, and a general idea of how they will fit together. I decided that the home page would be the main navigation of the site (sorta like a “sitemap”) because each page of my site is linked to from it.
My site has a grand total of 11 pages and describes the subject pretty well, pretty throughly, and pretty simple like.
I did not choose to look at keyword research for what my subjects would be, but many people do. I instead just covered what I felt were useful. Because the total of pages is so small, all the pages can be linked to about evenly.
8. Create the information pages
I have a great domain, a great header and a great homepage, now I need to have great content. The content must to fulfill the needs of people searching for image CSS terms.
Each page should describe quickly and visually the concept. It should have a clear title and describe off the bat what the page is about.
I also decided to have a short concise description of each technique at the top, and then a more thougrough and in depth explanation below. This way if people knew what they wanted, but just couldn’t remeber the code (like me) they could grab it quick. If a person need more info, they could just scroll down and get it…
Below the fold there is a much more in depth explanation of the technique and how to accomplish it.
I made the articles as good and simple as I could. I made one for each technique (left, right, center, etc.). I also decided to create content that helped people understand things like background images, image opacity, and the image tag. I did not go crazy. The only thing the website discusses is image CSS.
Things like “padding”, “margin”, and “border” can be hard to explain or understand, but it can be visually explained in an image quite quickly with the CSS box…
I made the best content I could, I chose my subjects and stuck to them.
I now have a good website. Now what?
SEO stuff:
I do not do much as far a as SEO goes, here is what I do…
- Choose “www” or “non www”. Make a choice, and the do the 301 redirect to the version you decide.
- Make sure that a search engine spider can see the site using a spider simulator.
- Add it to Google webmaster tools
Okay, that is the SEO I do. Pretty involved, huh? In the beginning, this is really all I do as far as SEO goes.
Link Building
I do not do much on the link building front either.
I tweeted about the site yesterday. Today I am linking to it in this post. I also put it on Stumbleupon.
That is all I will do for the first few weeks. Three links is good for now 
If that surprises you or you feel that is too little effort, you might just be surprised. We will revisit this site in a couple weeks and I will do another post about tweaking, monetizing, and more link stuff if necessary.
Monetize it:
For the first month or so, I do not put any money stuff on my sites. I sometimes end up getting emails from people wanting to advertise. If I do not, I will probably put Adsense on there, again we will revisit this in a few weeks.
The important part
This post is like 3000 or more words long. I spent around 2800 of those words describing the things to do before you make a website. The thing to spend time on is the decisions you make before making a website and knowing how it will be better than others and how it will fill the needs of searchers.

Great Post!
I’m building at least one site this wekend (maybe start tonight), that follows what you’ve outlined in this post.
I did notice one thing that actually made me happy to see. Example, on your CSS-Site, you only use the most important keyword in the permalink ( http://imagecss.com/center.html ), & then make the blog page title, for visitors. I have been thinking about trying this (permalink-keyword) for a while now, & have never found anyone else doing this.
I also agree simple is great, it’s easy for the webmaster & also easy for site visitors to get what they are looking for.
I look forward to future post, about your new CSS site.
Thanks,
Thanks, and good luck with your website.
Sometimes KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) is the right way to do things. But we need posts like this one to remember it to us.
Fantastic Post! Great Job! Thoroughly enjoyed the ImageCSS site as well.
This was something I very recently discovered. Previously, I had only built very comprehensive and extremely unwieldy sites. I didn’t have many of them because it was such a huge time sink just to manage the content and keep everything updated, so starting a new project was out of the question. About 6 months ago, I created a small extremely targeted, nichey website over the weekend because I was aching to design something (designers, you know what I’m talking about right?!). As of last month, it broke the $100 per month earnings from Adsense alone, and I didn’t do squat with it since it launched 6 months ago! GAH! Wish I had known sooner..
I love the simplicity of this. If more of us made it a point to get back to basics, the web would be a better place, I think. I find that the biggest problem in actually doing a website like this is procrastination – mostly because the task seems so huge. By making it this simple, more people can do it because it won’t seem like such a huge chore – not only to get it up and running but to be continually maintaining it as well.
What you are essentially doing is making sites for visitors – not for search engines. It’s a refreshing approach.
Another great post and I pretty much agree with every bullet/item yout talked about. Obviously, some projects/websites can’t be completed “quickly” (in a weekend) depending on the client you’re working with but I like the idea of “quick” because so many times you run into clients who love to drag out a project so that they can put anything and everything into their site. Keep it focused, keep it simple, keep it relative and you should do well.
Great write up. Jeff
Thanks for the comments, I have always been a big Google guideline guy and I have been blamed by many of being guilty of “drinking too much Google juice” because I am always talking about how useful they are (the Google guidelines). It has never been because I like or dislike Google, it has been because they worked for me and made sense. The places where they do not work always so great are highly competitive areas. So I just asked myself a couple years ago – “Why wound I want to create websites that may or may not rank well?” that’s when I stared making small websites, and the direction of my recurring income has only gone up since I began that.
After designing the site and drawing visitiors, what are the next steps to making money on the site?
I will answer that in the next post about this site. Probably in a couple of weeks, the site is brand new right now and I like to see how it does during that period. So I guess the answer to your question is “wait a couple weeks”. There are however alot of things you can do. I will go over these in detail when it comes out.
I see a few links that might need a re-direct.
site:imagecss.com
1) /div.html
2) /resources.html
3) /blog/
4) /blog/category/uncategorized/
5) /blog/imagecss-blog/
Might be more pages, I didn’t check all of them.
I was going to have a blog on there but then decided against it. Looks like Google found those. The blog doesn’t exist, so I guess I should remove them.
how do you determine the moment when you’ll include ads? reaching a specific number o visitors per day? passing a specific number of weeks after the launch?
excellent article, congrats!
I wait a few weeks and see what happens. Depending on how well the site is doing I tweak things. If the site is doing well, I look at where the traffic is coming from and determine what the best way to monetize is. If the site is not doing well, I try to do some traditional link building or promotion. I do not have one particular metric I use to decide when I should monetize, but I do at least wait a few weeks to see where it ends up.
Since you first posted this blog post, I’ve been trying to think of ideas for a new (small) blog of my own. Problem is I keep coming up blank, ugh…
Then I got to thinking about another project, a new category on my old blog, that I’ve been wanting to start.
So I decided to create a new (small) blog, instead of a new catagory on my old blog.
Sometimes we try to hard, when the answer is in our face, lol.
This also gave me an idea, we could tear apart our old (larger) blog, & re-write a new smaller blog for just about every category on the old blog, just drill down deeper per subject when creating the new smaller blog.
I wouldn’t recommend that. If you have something, keep it.
The new idea as a new website could work, but you need to balance the benefits to the negatives. This post is about creating new things, not tearing down old.
Hi Pat,
Thank you for this post. I’ve been trying to learn the best way to build a site that will supplement my income, and hadn’t thought of making a microsite. I’m going to give this a shot.
My question is, when you buy a domain, do you just buy the .com, or do you buy others as well, and perhaps redirect them? Thanks again!
I just buy the com. This is quick and dirty stuff, no taking over the world need be involved
Buying multiple domains is wise for trademarks, and businesses, but a website about old snoopy dolls or image css or something likely does not need to own every domain version of their site in my opinion
Hi,
I’m familiar with the idea some people express, that SEO is not required to have a successful website. Most people who say this strike me as uninformed, at best. In most cases, I think they’ve done SEO without realizing it.
Your approach is interesting, because it requires you create something that is not otherwise available on the web. The image css site with illustrations is a great idea. I’m sure it’s true, as you say, that while other guides exist, none offers a visual reference that allows visitors to quickly find and understand the code they are looking for.
Still, it’s worrisome to me that you blatantly ignore the SEO competition factor. For example, SEOmoz recently released a new version of their toolbar, and the free version appends numbers to the Google search results. For every website that Google lists, you see the “Page Authority” and “Domain Authority” of the page (and domain) that’s shown in the Google search results.
I liked the video SEOmoz did when their toolbar was release, and I found a reference to two other videos they’ve done that further explain what they mean by Page Authority and Domain Authority. Basically, these numbers are reasonable estimates of how competitive any given search results page is. In the end, if you search for a phrase like “image css” and see that all ten of the web pages listed on the first page of the Google search results have very high Page Authority and very high Domain Authority, the inescapable conclusion is that competition is tough, and the idea of making a new, small site and having it rank on the first page of the search results is, for all practical purposes, remote.
Since your new site is good (friendly, informative, likely to be noticed and appreciated), then over time I imagine you will get some good links. Without those links, you’ll never appear on the first page of the search results, so you’ll never get any traffic.
From what I understand, it does not matter at all that your site is great. Google is just a computer system, and they have no way of looking at a new site and figuring out how good it is. Sure, your site may be great, but Google simply does not know that.
The only way Google will ever get a clue is if lots of difference sites start linking to you. Once they see how popular you are, they’ll move you up in the listings. Obviously Google looks at a lot of factors, but it’s equally obvious how important it is to get links, especially links from powerful websites, accumulated over time, from many different domains.
So, I flipped on the SEOmoz toolbar. I’m just using the free version, but it still puts the Page Authority number and Domain Authority number on the Google search results page for each page listed. What I noticed is you have a lot of competition.
Here are the Page Authority numbers for the sites listed on the first page of Google when you search for “image css:” 82, 59, 80, 39, 36, 34, 81, 69, 52, 59. Meanwhile, the Page Authority for the homepage of imagecss.com is 8. As I flipped through the search results, I found imagecss.com on page three of the results, in position 7. My take on this is that the site is ranking in position 27, not because of links, but because the search phrase “image css” is in the URL.
The results are similar for Domain Authority. In fact, imagecss.com really stands out in the search results, because the other pages listed on the first three pages of search results are dramatically stronger. Google can’t see your images, so they have no idea how friendly the site is, and they can’t do a qualitative analysis to see how good the site is. All they have to rely on is links. For this new website, imagecss.com, the link profile is so weak that it seems unusual to find it anywhere on the first three pages of the search results, even in position 27. I see no reason for this, except that the search phrase you are optimizing for is in the URL. Do you agree?
Anyway, I was recently watching a video from Market Samurai, and they said the single biggest mistake people make when creating these types of websites is failing to check the competition. For example, if the top three websites in Google for a particular search phrase are: IBM, HP and Apple, it’s delusional to think that someone could make a new site, with few links, and expect Google to move those websites down a notch and place the new site, with few links, in the #1 spot.
Looking at the link profiles of the sites on the first page of Google for “image css,” and looking at the Page Authority and Domain Authority numbers for those sites, I really can’t understand what the plan is when it comes to getting imagecss.com to rank on the first page, and without that, if this site remains on page three, there will be very little traffic.
It looks like this new site will naturally accumulate links over time due to it’s quality, and it looks like that’s the only way it will get links, since there is no plan to do promotion, PR, link building — or whatever you want to call it. Considering the competition has hundreds and thousands of links, it looks to me like it’s going to be a long time before this new website generates any significant traffic.
This is a cool, long term approach, but my thinking shows a couple of problems:
(1) Apparently no competitive research has been done. It’s simply not the case that the top ten sites on Google are there as much by accident as anything else. Those sites are there because they are quite strong. By skipping the competitive analysis, an option has been missed. The option of saying, Hey, this website is a great idea, but looking at the competition, it’s going to be nearly impossible to get a first page listing in Google for a long, long time, so do I really want to spend some time on this and hope to have a money making business? Of course, you have been successful with a number of sites, so it will be interesting to see what you do and how this works out. For me, however, the niche looks to competitive and I would not attempt it for that reason.
(2) Apparently little SEO will be done for this site. If it had a good blog, that would attract some attention and get some links. So far the only PR appears on this blog, but will people who read this blog produce a large number of quality links for the site?
I’m eager to see how this goes. It’s a great case study and it’s great of you to lay out everything you’ve done to produce such a fantastic website. I think a lot of people will learn a huge amount from following the adventures of cssimages. Thank you for presenting this!
That was a long comment, thanks for taking the time.
Long story short, I could do buttloads of stuff, but I do not. I will tweak some stuff here and there and post what I do when I do it with this site.
Much of SEO is reducing the amount of time it takes to rank well. My take is, I have time, I do not want to look at toolbars and graphs.
I only spent a few hours on this site (the post took me longer to make than the site did), why should I stress on it? I make thousands of dollars a month off of my other sites which are just like this. I know people just love SEO and all, but I would rather just make great sites and move on. If i do not do anything to this site whatsoever and just forget about it for a few months, it will likely be getting alot of traffic and ranking for many terms.
Love the practical approach to time management. It’s true that a great website like imagecss can be made quickly, and left alone to age for a while. That’s a very, very good point. I can see how it would be smart to make sites you know fill a need that is currently not being addressed, and since they can be made quickly, it would be smart to make a lot of them.
Over time, I wouldn’t be surprised if some links from great sites appear naturally, as Google intended. ; )
I also appreciate your point about getting traffic from a variety of search phrases. While I only talked about “image css” it’s true you’ll get traffic from lots of search phrases.
So much of SEO advice comes from blowhards to talk a big game but never explain what they do or how they do it. This is all useless to people who want to learn.
The story of how this new site unfolds has the potential for providing great value to many people, so long as they’re the type of people who are interested in learning something. : )
Thanks again. This is a great project and I’ll keep checking it out.
Thanks for the useful information… You are certainly gifted. Not anyone can make 10000-30000 dollars a year, but I must admitt that your ideas are great. Success doesn`t always mean a lot of work, but putting the right ideas in the right place. Nice website:)
Still waiting to see how you monetize the site.
I like to know how you monetize too?
However, I do like your creative approach.
Nice post.
I’ve never thought of it that way, about making a small website. The part about making a website people are interested in definitely relates to SEO, target audience and keyword research. It’s definitely nice to see a website designer taking the time out to do these things because I’ve worked with a lot of designers and really they can’t be bothered. So that’s telling them how to do their job!
Well side.
Noticed the image css site, for the query “image css,” has moved from the middle of page three on Google to the middle of page two. Nice. Congrats!
I think that SEO is over rated by many people. A great website will get backlinks. My website, tumbleweedhouses.com, now attracts over 100,000 visitors per month and I’m just beginning to focus on SEO. Less than 20% of our traffic comes from raw search. There just aren’t that many searches on the subject of tiny houses. Most of our traffic comes from inbound links and people sharing our site via email. Our competitors sites draw 10% of the traffic we do, not because we focus on search, but because our content is great.
My experience: Make your site beautiful and simple. The rest will follow.
I’m sure you already know this.
Your new site Index page is at PR-1, & ranks 13 in Google SERPs, for “image css”
What’s cool is you have 9 other pages that are PR-2 & Pr-3
Most of the time an Index page has the higher PR, on new sites/blogs.
Looking good!
Did you have a reason for adding “www” to the 6 URLs on the homepage of your CSS site?
The reason I ask is I ckecked the PageRank, & each of the Tabs at the top-right of each page is PR-3 (without – “www”).
Each of the 6 URLs on the Home page with the “www” are PR-2, your domain does not include “www”.
Hi Pat!
I know you’re probably very busy, but ever since I read this post, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next one you mentioned about monetizing. I saw you wrote a post about AdSense, but said it was aimed at those familiar with or already using AdSense, and mention it being applied to older sites.
If you get some free time and are able to write about it, I would love to read about how you monetize these small sites you build. Thank you!
Michelle
what’s the advantage of this over say, creating a hubpage or squidoo lens? you can monetize them
I’ve actually been wondering the same thing about Squidoo for the last few days. I see some people say they make enough on Squidoo to live on, and then some people say you can’t make squat on that site, that it’s only good for linking to your actual blog or Web site. I can’t imagine people would spend the time creating hundreds of lenses if there were no profit in it, but maybe that’s just it? You have to create hundreds of them to make a worthwhile amount of money?
Sharing information for the sake of sharing is a wonderful thing. I really appreciate it, and enjoy doing it too. But I’d also like to be able to have more freedom by earning an income from that sharing.
The site moved to the bottom of page 1 on google. Alas Google toolbar shows no backward links to this site yet.
I appreciated your clear explanation of the thought process. You managed to cut out all of biz talk and explain in plain English.
Pat,
This is possibly one of the best posts I have read this year.
I’m not kidding.
I’d like to link to this if you’d allow?
Solid – ‘uncommon’ common sense! I loved it.

Well written post..
In quest for ranking in google, people do forget to keep the sites simple. After all for google its all about user experience, & if visitors are going to get the exact info they are looking for, they are bound to visit the site… which in turn will take the site higher in the rankings
Pat,
One of the best and most useful blog posts I’ve read where everything contained within the post is relevant and useful.
I would like to link to this, if you allow me to do so.
Have a great week
Thanks

Pat,
What great information!
As a newbie, I found your tips most helpful. While I have have one website, I am now looking to create my own product.
Your information is really valuable. I will recommend it as it was recommended to me.
Thanks.

Excellent articlet. Thank you for inspirations..
Can you please share with us how you plan to monetize from this site?
Great post! Found you through a link from another site. I can’t wait to go to your main blog and start following “the rest of the story”
Pretty cool, thanks!
So what if the website is only about a couple topics and once you have written about those topics, there is not much else to write about. Would that work?
The problem I have is that I have ideas floating around in my head all the time and can’t settle on one.
OMG! I love this post. It’s helpful. It’s concise. And you picked smashing inviting images. (I appreciate the detailed explanation of how to get my own.) I’m curious…. do you recommend small websites that rank well over large websites? (This may be more about business strategy, but I thought I’d put it out there. I have a feeling I’ll be very interested in what you have to say.) Best,
This is a very interesting and helpful article. I like how you incorporated the simple illustrations as well.

Too much time we stop talking about how the site in the upgrade position, but when we site to a certain period of time, get a good ranking, we should how to dimension the site’s ranking, to make the site more stable ranking!
This was another good one!
You are right, no one should start thinking to become a millionaire by one website, yet if you do make a good one that will heavily counts!

While checking out imagecss.com I noticed that on your posts explaining how to float images you did not mention how to clear those floats. Not a huge deal just might be helpful for a future post. Other than that this article was very informative. Thank You.
