Congrats on your success, Glen. It’s been a while, but I ran across your blog earlier.

Glad to hear you’re doing good.

I only share things when I’ve tested them thoroughly, but I’m certain on the StumbleUpon point. I work for an IM company and we’ve seen this with a lot of our clients. The reason you get less traffic from friends stumbles (at least ones you’ve sent a page too) is simply to combat spam and manipulation in my opinion.

Just write great content (and keep an email list for stumbles if you are sneaky).

Nice one Glen

For me, blogging is definitely the medium not the message.

Your advice re stumble friends, by the way, seems to have panned out to be correct, been getting less traffic from more (friends) stumbles. Bah.

feel free to re-educate me.

Hi Glen,

Thanks for an inspiring post! Just found this site and ViperChill today and subscribed to both. I think what matters most is to deliver quality, there is so much competition in most niches online that the only good way to stand out is providing something worth bookmarking. Not knowing you(yet) I can only say that so far I’ve read two of your posts and:

1. I have read them to the end and no skimming
2. I’m happy I read them

That is quality.

I really like what you said about sharing good ideas not caring if you lose the edge on the competition. For anyone that wants to reach guru status that is what you have to do, then maybe one day you’ll be recognized as one.

All the best!

Excellent advice, thank you, Glen.

I’m checking my two websites now. . . My Akashic site explains my service into details, testimonials (success with other clients), my About & Contact Page. And I do the conversation marketing through my another blog, Yes to Me. I guess the last point has lots of room for improvement.

And I agree it’s critical to choose what you love to be an expert.
