		<description>Hi Drew and welcome to NJFM.

I&#039;m glad that I was able to be of help to you. 

It&#039;s funny, my mother-in-law is with me for a while and I tried to explain to her what I do.  I&#039;m not so sure she truly understands it, but once I read your comment to her she now thinks what I do is worth while.  Thanks for helping me out.  :)</description>

		<description>Hi Felicia, 
I&#039;m a new business owner who, after being on the cusp of greatness with a small manufacturing business must close. My partner fell ill and I made a decision to continue working for myself as a writer online.  

I came upon your blog while searching for some related information and was greatly impressed.  I am male, a former U.S. veteran
(Army &amp; Navy)  honorably discharged both times, and also a person of color.  I appreciate the wit and candor of your blog.

You have inspired me and just thought you should know that you made a difference today.  Thank you so much!  And for the record-- I like statistics.  Keep up the fantastic work.  You made my day.</description>

		<description>Wendy, I’ve been trying to track what I did so differently with site number 2.  

I believe there were a host of things I did differently and will try to write about it in depth in a later post.

The fact that site #2 was focused on one topic instead of 13 sub topics was a big help.  Additionally, I used a WordPress template instead of coding it by hand this time.

SEO did help, but I’m no SEO expert.  Well, I guess any SEO is better than none (you need a magnifying glass to find any SEO on site #1).

Personally, I think the big kicker was that I wasn’t in a rush this time.  I took it slow, wrote a little, forgot about the site and then wrote a little more.  Now that it seems to be earning consistently, I think I’ll put a bit more effort into it.

I’m still analyzing what I did to see if I can wash, rinse and repeat it.</description>

		<description>Hey Felicia!

This is so interesting! Okay, so can I surmise  what you did with site #2 is make sure that every page was SEO friendly...is that too private? What *did* you do, exactly, to make it that much smarter?
