		<description>Hi &lt;strong&gt;Vance&lt;/strong&gt;,

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Your content is not commercial so it must mean that it is loaded with good stuff.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thanks. That&#039;s true.

Anyone who is prepared to plough in enough &lt;strong&gt;INTELLIGENT ACTION&lt;/strong&gt; can do what I have done. In fact, knowing what I know now I could probably do it in a lot less time. Because a lot of what I have done action-wise wasn&#039;t necessarily real intelligent. I just kept throwing a huge effort in. I&#039;m a bit smarter at it now ( I hope!).

But, we all need to &quot;graduate from the school of hard knocks.&quot; When you have people blazing a trail before you the learning curve isn&#039;t quite so bad.

		<description>Hi Gary,

Happy Birthday to your blog.

Amazing achievement for you and I know you&#039;ll get to the next desired destination of yours.

I got here a bit late but I always enjoy finding out what you&#039;re up to and learn a thing or two.

If I can be honest there is a bit of an irritant associated with coming to your blog - it takes a lo-o-ong time to load.

I don&#039;t have the fastest internet connection but there is only one blog that causes me  a similar problem on the whole internet that I know of. In that case it&#039;s because it is loaded with banner ads etc.

Your content is not commercial so it must mean that it is loaded with good stuff. But it would be nice if it loaded faster. 

I heard and read that the search engines very much take into consideration the loading time when they rank sites.

Knowing you though you won&#039;t cater to that.

I appreciate what you share in this post about what it took for you to get where you are now.

Do I think i can do it too? 

Yes I do.

Even if I take twice as long as you did it&#039;s worth going for.

Congratulations on your first anniversary with the blog.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt;

See what I said above?

&lt;blockquote&gt;3 – My Alexa Ranking has gone from 5,179,210 on the 27th November 2008 right down to being in the top 100,000 websites in the world with a present popularity rank of 92,216 (and still falling like a stone) – and that is a significant achievement to be ranked 92,216th in the WORLD out of about 50,000,000 (50 million) websites!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, that AR fell even further this morning. It&#039;s now on &lt;strong&gt;84,775&lt;/strong&gt; and my NEW target is 75,000.

Just in case anyone is interested.

Gary

&lt;strong&gt;PS:&lt;/strong&gt; I know that AR results are not entirely accurate AND they are skewed towards &lt;strong&gt;Internet Marketing&lt;/strong&gt; sites but they do give somewhat of a guide to site popularity. I&#039;m happy with my present ranking anyway.</description>

		<description>Hi &lt;strong&gt;Ken&lt;/strong&gt; - Long time no hear - LOL! I must also apologize for not replying sooner but, Ken, behind-the-scenes I just have so much going on. I can hardly keep up with it all. In fact, I can&#039;t! So I have to be selective in what I do and when I do it.

Thanks for the compliments.

It always amazes me how dentists can have &quot;conversations&quot; with their patients. A lot of &lt;em&gt;&quot;u-huh&quot;&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;&quot;uh-uh&quot;&lt;/em&gt; always seems to go on when you&#039;ve got your gob open and somebody is jamming stuff into it. LOL!

So, you now know that a &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Banana Bender&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; is a person from Queensland and a &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Sand Groper&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; is a West Aussie (like me) huh? We are a WEIRD lot over here in Oz!

Thanks for posting Ken.
