Compared to Perfection

Hmmm, I am not sure�

I was having a conversation with an extremely intelligent man the other day, I was explaining to him or he was comparing my site to the Keven Sites in the Hot Zones site. I had just posted the day before a longish comment explaining the site.
http://www.hobotraveler.com/2006/05/kevin-sites-in-my-sights.html

Well, the next day my friend says something to the effect,
- This is how your site should look. -

Frustrated in a way, trying to say,
- Yes, but this site is made by Yahoo.com, the biggest site on the internet. -
( I think the Kevin Sites part is a lost leader or does not make money for yahoo.com)

I review in my head, or I have been droning away how to make my site like Kevin Sites. NOW, PLEASE do not think I want to write like Kevin Sites, I cannot stand to read, or even peruse the site, however from a techie point of view SOME, only about 25 percent is PERFECT.

Most is promoted by Yahoo, therefore not getting traffic on just from the search engines, not the same as Hobo.

Ok, I do not like to read his material, therefore I do not read.

Nevertheless, the question is posed in my brain, how I can make a perfect site and why is my site not perfect. The answer is relatively simple, I have always lived within my means, and the site has always been 100 percent solvent. This means it makes enough money to pay for it self easily.

The cost of keeping the site in business is presently about 6 of the income, therefore impossible to go out of business. IF I stopped traveling the income remains the same, the money has little to do with the blog.

However, the Dot Com failures, the idiots making webpages, the whole industry is strewn with idiocy. My first goal was to have a website that made enough money to allow me to travel. This does not mean I invest money to make money, it means I invest time to make money. Now I am ok, life is very good.

99. 9 percent of Travel sites must fail

First things first a person needs to survive, next to thrive, then I can start to pay to clean up the site.

Well, soon the cleaning of the home will start, I hope. There is only one-way to do this unfortunately, I need to pay the boys in India or Bulgaria or some cheaper than dirt country to work. I wish I could pay some over-priced USA people that speak English to help; they always seem to be prima-donnas and have no clue.

NO CLUE as to how a website makes money.

They make them all the time, however they do not believe for one thing, and they do not know. Most of them assume and correctly most of the time, you will go out of business, you do not make enough money to pay me.

Interesting world the world of techies, they would fit in well on Khao San Road. Delusional.
