| | I don't. People go on vacations, etc. Often times, I'll find myself registering on a site and frequently visiting. But then I get disinterested in the subject, or something goes on in my life, and I don't stop by for awhile. Then something happens that reminds me of the site, … |

| | Does this happen with every single click? I'm willing to bet that it's banner ad related, in all honesty. Also, what country are you from? (Helps to eliminate geotargeted campaigns only reaching the US, for example). |
| | The thing is I'm no Ruby developer to know one way or another. I'll ask around.  |
| | Are you talking about changes to the sites that you link to that are beyond your control? If you think that a site might potentially change to include something you wouldn't want to link to, don't link to it. Period.  |
| | I think the duplicate content issue is a big one. However, I'm a bit confused by your question. Article directory services? Is this like where you submit an article that is keyworded out and has links pointing back to you, for other sites to use to get free content? Like … |
| | The majority of online publishers do that => Offer free content for website visitors in exchange for display and text ads. |
| | fresh install of XP or upgrade? (lotsa problems are known when you do an upgrade to XP) I'm using a Geforce 4 Ti with WinXP with no problems. |
| | It depends on the directory. There are some really good quality niche directories that have real targeted traffic. And it's always a good idea to get yourself into DMOZ (although not as important as it once was IMO). With both directories and link exchanges, you just have to be careful … |
| | I think that a good search engine marketing campaign encompasses on-page SEO (having clean html code that proper utilizes page titles, h1 tags, etc), off-page SEO (having a constant stream of new backlinks, getting blogs to link to you, viral marketing), and PPC (buying clicks to your front door pages … |

| | I read somewhere on Google's blog that they now have rudimentary support for Flash, actually. Spoke to a Flash developer friend of mine and heard that it isn't that great. Where did you hear that search engines can access Ajax content? AFAIK spiders can't execute JavaScript. |
| | For the amount of time it takes to create a list of keywords, why not? |

| | 1 => Search engines automatically find you when other sites link to you. 2 => Search engines are pretty smart about figuring out your navigation and site structure.
