My biggest one is stopping me buying new domains and coming up with new ideas and just focusing on my old ideas and getting them where they need to be! You say you are from Yorkshire...so am I! what part are you from if you dont mind me asking? Cheers David www.succeedandinspire.com Hey,

The way I deal with it is write a priority list and then just focus on that. I know that feeling of being overwhelmed. The way I deal with it is write a priority list and then just focus on that.

This is exactly the same as me. What with a full time job I've found myself spending the last almost 1 year researching and self teaching! I realised I was stuck in this cycle too scared to take the plunge and...just get on with it!! So I now have my 1st site in progress and not far from launching. Yes it might not be great and hey it might not convert but.. I bet my 100th site will be fantastic! :) I'm now taking the plunge and I'm going to learn from my mistakes and its feels really good. I now feel like I'm working towards that big day when I realise my day job is not needed anymore and I can concentrate fully on what I love....being a geek on my PC at home ;) Spot on Elaine, Steve YES YES YES!!!

Too much reading and not enough action is certainly a crime of many people. In my particular case, I spend too much time doing the wrong things! With my computer-caused arm and back pain getting worse these days, I need to focus on just those activitiies that result in some extra money. Rather than work for work sake, a real curse if you're a perfectionist. Oh, and I shouldn't be reading this really, but then the title on Twitter was compelling. :) Dan Hi Elaine,

I just concentrate on putting out good unique content and trying to get decent links in. It seems to be working. I'm worried now though... have I missed a simple thing that'd boost my organic traffic 30%? Arrgghh!!!

Thats a scary list especially when the importance of each changes randomly from week to week. btw I thought it was illegal to mention pivot tables in public - I'm going to have to have lie down now...

At least you haven't paid anything to the SEO 'Gurus'. I find your comment about old pages VERY interesting as you can observe Google listing loads of them on page 1, some with hardly any content. I've got them unchanged for years and still there in position. ... and similarly have rewritten some of them in a supposedly 'SEO' way with lots of content, only to see the poor old algorithm completely unable to cope and send them off down to page 50 or something and now struggling to get back. Perhaps Google has now built in a 'sudden blog-type BS text rush filter', to insure against pointless text rubbish appearing high in its index. I await an SEO to explain that. Too b…..y right.
