true, but then don't come back to me and ask why your gallery doesn't make any money again later. if you're doing the same thing, the same thing will happen.

you don't have to take my advice - but most of these people actually seem to believe they have taken my advice, even though they are doing the exact same thing. they become insistant i help them - even though the advice i gave them hasn't been used. and it only seems to happen with newbs. *sigh*

And they just said, "Oh geez ... you do all that? That's so much work."

"Oh, I'm sorry," I say, "I didn't realize you wanting the not-a-lot of work version. Okay, here it is: put three over-optimized newsgroup pictures on a page, type Big Dicks R Us, under the pictures type 'Click here to see more' and present the surfer with a page that includes the AEN entry script. Now, pump out 400 of these every day and submit them to every AEN on the planet, and every week, if you're lucky, you'll make $10."

Ive just been chatting with someone in ICQ helping them out only to discover EVERYTHING i told them, they were already told a week ago but they 'couldnt be bothered' to take the advice.

Some newbies make me so damned mad sometimes.

Part of the reason I usually post about anything BUT advice to people that aren't established. It takes a special kind of person to to walk newbies through and take the time to help with no seflish intentions.

Good on ya Lee for helping the guy out :cheese:
