Compliments of the season to you and yours too mate - from reading your blog this year looks like it’s gearing up to be an exciting time for you.

It’s certainly shaping up to be that way for us too.

You were wise to stay out of that debate - actually ‘debate’ is not the right word because our friend’s idea of a debate is to shout down the opposition and ignore anything that doesn’t quite fit with his view of the world.

I’ve met some unpleasant people doing business on the Net over the years but he is in a class all by himself and it seems that it’s more important to try and bludgeon the opposition into submission than it is to learn or make money.

But then I half expected that because anyone who tries to impress others by the amount of money he claims to make has a serious problem with his own self image.

I tried debating with him via email but in the end gave up when his only defence was personal insults

Firstly, Happy New Year

Gotta say Darren is right on the mark - success is not all about the direct ROI - I believe that’s where most bloggers will get the most “real” ROI with their blogging, ie: building up their credibility and name recognition in their field.

btw, I sort of followed the to-and-fros you had late last year with Australia’s Greatest Internet Marketer I wanted so much to get in the ring so to speak but I held my tounge … it just smelled of a no-win situation especially seeing all those comments at BlogHerald.

Anyways, all the best in the new year…
