I love the "traffic guru" it seems like everytime you turn around there is a new Traffic Guru with a $7 ebook that will tell you how to go from 0 to 500 visitors a day within a few days. The only problem is, when you read the ebook you see that's it's filled with nothing but fluff.. oh and they tell you to advertise, DUH! haha I hope one day I can be a "Check Cashing" guru! I just setup my blog, literally a few hours ago. Please check it out, let me know what you think! Tai Zejan http://taizejan.wordpress.com/ Gary,

Not sure why you put it in here though. Have you been on the "HINTS & TIPS" thread. Hava a look there and see either of the two guys I mention in my editorial there. They are both really great techies. Regards Gary Internet Marketing Student of <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> <b>PS:</b> I'm gonna put you on my blogroll when you get up and running with some good content. And Joan... you gotta get rid of that security code near the comments panel. Nobody will jump through that most inconvenient and time consuming task any more. Well, none of the heavy-hitters will anyway. They are just TOO BUSY.

Your hints and tips are great! I was following #4 on creating a blogroll. When I get to step 5 and click on "categories", there is no blogroll there. When I click on Add new category, nothing happens. I found a suggestion on the internet to disable javascript in firefox, which I did. That did not solve the problem. Do you have any idea what the problem is or where I can find the solution? Thanks, Joan Hi, Gary,

Hmm, not sure I could diagnose such a problem remotely but I would check to see that you are not confusing a page with a post. They are separate sub pages to the WRITE page. Check your "live" blog and have a snoop around. You may have inadvertently put it somewhere else. It's easy to do when you are in a hurry.

That's all part of the entertainment I like to provide. All sorts of things fly into my head ALL the time. I can hardly keep up with it all. Yes, I saw you had your BLOGROLL up and running. Well done. Glad to be of help to you. Indeed I have written many e-books. They are all loaded onto the "Battlestar Gallactica" site (that's what I call it) behind this blog - many of them you won't see but they are sitting there like my obedient servants... just waiting to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Regards Gary Internet Marketing Student of <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> <strong>PS:</strong> Don't be fooled by my fooling around. There is a method to my madness. And I can be one serious son-of-a-gun when I want (not often though). LOL! Hi Coleen,

The Guru term is so destructive when used about everything. I compare it to calling yourself a God of something. What ever happened to the word Expert? That can still be used for everything. With the definition "a person with special knowledge or ability who performs skillfully" Being an expert is just the same as knowing a little more about a subject then the average person. And that's just what the so claimed Guru's does. Keep posting great posts, I'll be back to read them. Thomas Skavhellen http://www.widlas.com Hi Gary,
