Then I woke up.
And I think there are a lot of other people who need to wake up too. The ones that want instant success… who are confused as to why there hasn’t been sudden large amounts of human traffic landing on their webpages… and with the little traffic they do get wonder why no one has clicked.
It takes time. It takes talent.
It takes patience. It takes persistence.
It takes experience. It takes effort.
And you can do it. One quality article at a time.

Heh too right, I have been in the game a long time and it has taken effort, failure, and more failure to learn exactly what I need to do to succeed!

I totally agree. It takes time to set a good basis for quality traffic. Great article!

Obsession? Good lord man, here you are posting on my blog. Again.
How many times and how many places do you need to insinuate that I am gay? It was you, after all, who offered to get dressed up as a wench for me. Just so you know, I’m not into that sort of thing. Your online cross-gender act does nothing for me. Do your mates down at the pub know that you like to talk all saucy and sexy as a female online? Instead of Arthur do they call you Martha?
I remember the first time you emailed me 10 months ago, apologizing profusely for attacking me in the forum, saying that I hadn’t deserved it.
Nothing had provoked your first attack. You were either bored or under the influence of… some other crazy hubber. Another serial-stalker/multi-faced-fake who at first thought I was her brother.
I assume that by “old pirate hub” you in fact mean a forum thread. Right? Well I am what I am and if I want to comment on threads new and old as it takes my fancy, I shall. If you’ve got a problem with that you either have to stop reading the forum… and clicking on every single thread I post in, or report me to HP HQ if you think I’ve gone over the line. Maybe they’ll agree with you. But I doubt it.
How many times have you been banned now? Lost count? How many of those times was because you lost your temper with me? Maybe half?
What does that tell you? 1) you’ve got it hard for me, and you’re pissed off because I won’t reciprocate, and 2) because there have been others, it’s not just me you’ve got a problem with, so have a good look at yourself, you are the problem.
Like I said to you 3 months ago when you offered yet another two faced apology in one of my hubs: “But you are what you are I guess. I’m not sure what that is. And by the string of deleted profiles you’ve had I don’t think you know either.”
You whine and bitch and moan how no one knows the real you. I honestly couldn’t think of a bigger waste of time trying to get to know such a shallow character who shows his aggression at the drop of a hat because he’s not getting the praise he thinks he’s due.
And this whole “I think you are gay” thing is also baffling. Since when is a persons sexuality defined because they show up another person for being a hypocrite and a fool? Because that’s all I’ve done. You’ve ranted and raved like a complete dickhead in the forum and I hold up a mirror in front of you. And that makes you angry. And all I am doing is showing you how I and others see you.
So now be a good Capuchin monkey and flounce off back to your precious hubs, you’re wasting time here when you could be getting traffic by the only way you know how, commenting on other peoples hubs.
PS: If you write like a child talking with a cleft palette and you can’t use punctuation properly you shouldn’t think so highly of yourself as a “writer”.

Yeah ok you have a fair point actually as I have at times been a right twat. I actually found an old forum topic myself written by myself and it actally made me gringe reading it.
Maybe it needed you to hold up the mirror but you know damn rightly Glen you love to slap it right in my face anytime you can.
As for the punctuation, it hasn’t stopped my traffic increasing and I mean outside traffic and I comment on hubs because I enjoy reading them, surely as an elite member of hubs you realise the importantance of that.
Anyway this time I do actually agree with you, I intend to keep myself to myself and make some money. Just do me a favour and let all the bullshit pirate stuff die a death, ok hands up I was a complete dick, you can throw the mirror away now. Enjoy your day !

Your response gives me hope.
Only time will tell.
