		<description>Wyjazday, there are a number of different reasons why a blog is successful and achieving good PageRank. Linking is important including inbound links from quality sources. Obviously, people like what is written on these sites, thus the high ranking. It isn&#039;t quantity that matters, but quality though some of this can be &quot;gamed&quot; in order to bring about artificially high ranking numbers.

Personally, I don&#039;t care what others bloggers are doing to get their high position online. Traffic numbers are more of a tool measuring the number of people who come to a blog, but it isn&#039;t indicative of quality.  I think wise commentators, such as yourself, is a much better indicator than what Google, Alexa or some other traffic measuring device can possibly reveal.

		<description>I admire your blog that is filled with content, words and interesting articles. But (as I was writing before, commenting another article) I said that I have some doubts of getting traffic from filling the content. As I have seen many blogs without many articles (sometimes just few) that appear high on pagerank and on goole list I lose my faith in the necessity of blogging by writing new posts. Your review of the 1-2 theory maybe is right but not in every single case?</description>

		<description>I am glad that you dint gave up, yes that&#039;s the spirit of live you have to be very persistent in your effort towards your goal. Balancing your work is an art in itself, its about time management, efficiency &amp; attitude towards your work, if you are fine with all these para meters i think one can strike a fine balance with there work and all the other odd things they want to do.

		<description>Thanks, Frank. I wouldn&#039;t see they are equally important as far as time used for each, but they are just as important that they both be done. Trying to find the right balance can take time and that balance can shift depending on workload and job outlook.</description>

		<description>I really liked the idea of balancing work and distributing the required time to each component and not neglecting the anyone for the as each of them are equally important. In online business we always need to add two to three components to earn a regular income and we just can&#039;t rely upon just one thing as you never know when you will get jinxed.But again each component of online business we choose for ourselves is equally important and we should understand this fact.</description>

		<description>Dominique, in time you will be able to pursue a more enriching blogging experience, but you must enjoy the time you have now especially with your grand-daughter being so young. Children grow up so quickly and this precious gift is with you right now, so enjoy this stage in her development.

I&#039;ve covered tips on securing blogging work on this blog previously; those articles are searchable through this site. But, I will share again some current information perhaps this August.</description>

		<description>Matt, This is a great article!  I loved hearing how your journey progressed.  

I am afraid that I am no where close to where I want to be as a writer or as a blogger.  When I head back to OK I am planning on redesigning my blog and doing more in-depth articles as I did in AZ.  I also want to start submitting my work again and getting them published online as well as &quot;off&quot; line. 

Because I am currently writing in between diaper changes, feedings, etc., I have just enough time to read and scan the days news and then respond in a post or article.  That isn&#039;t what I want to ultimately do with my blog and writing, but I know it is just for a time and then I can build a schedule and so forth.

Now getting paid for writing...that one always escapes me.  I just can&#039;t seem to figure out how to go about that or where to go.  Maybe you can write a future article about that journey?!  :-)
