Today, I updated my lens and removed several downline builders I no longer recommend.

Updated traffic exchanges lens

johndilbeck — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:54:41 GMT

In 2008, I did a lot with over 50 traffic exchanges and tested various ways to build traffic to my marketing sites.

In 2009, I've refocused my efforts and have trimmed my efforts down to about 5 traffic exchanges that produce the results I want.

I've updated this lens to reflect these changes.

Your comments are welcome and I invite you to participate in the duel.

How to build a successful website

johndilbeck — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:57:49 GMT

The simple answer is: Do it right the first time.

I've been building websites since shortly after the World Wide Web was invented and I've learned the hard way.

I wish Site Build It! had been available when I first started. I would have saved thousands of dollars and hours.

Now, you can get the power of SBI and a proven method of building a successful online business for about the price of a cup of coffee per day.

Thank you, Tom Kulzer!

I want to publicly thank Tom Kulzer, CEO and Founder of AWeber, for emailing the following message to me:
