After some time they begin to realize that it doesn’t really matter too much. People don’t visit a web site because of the PR, especially since many don’t even know what a PageRank is. They visit because they like what the author has to say.

Unique content has always been king, and will continue to be king.

It took me three years to finish a two year college course. I graduated with about a 67% average.

But regardless of that, keep in mind that one of the best ways to learn something is to teach others.

Thanks a lot! You’ve got really creative ideas and I love learning from people like you.

As far as being “good,” thanks for the compliment - but truly what we’ve been “good” at is what anyone can be good at - persistence.

At my office, we find subjects that interest us, learn as much as we can, create a site, and create content. One site has grown so much that I have other people regularly submitting content to me for consideration and in return they get a link back to their site.

I note in your “Who Is Vikki” page on your blog, you’re a biochemistry student and a business analyst! Now, I’m going to turn around and say, “You’re Good!” I doubt I’d last a month at University taking biochemistry courses.. but I have to admit there are some things in the field that interest me. Having a “wee man,” a wonderful five year old, I get to help out with “experiments” and things like that.

Now… think of your own possibilities here as far as useful content sites! Perhaps you could create a site around the field of biochemistry. Perhaps offer tutorials to other students, and then maybe even grow that to get paid for tutorial services via the Internet!

Here’s another idea that just popped into my head: How about a site where you come up with information and experiments for parents of little kids that have an interest in just about everything and help parents teach their kids about biochemistry?

See, there are ALL sorts of things you already are capable of doing!
