I suppose the clever thing to do would be to delete my last post and pretend that it never happened. That would be a bit dishonest though wouldn’t it? Why would I think of deleting it? Because it’s a bad idea, I’ve taken on the opinions of those that matter most to me and it’s simple really. The general consensus seems to be that if I was to make that guide I’d be letting my ego rule my brain. To show people how clever I am I’d be putting my living on the line. That’s not acceptable, it’s not me but the amount of nonsense in this niche has almost driven me to it. The clever thing would have been to speak to people before making that last post!

So this leaves me with a dilemma. If I’m not prepared to go that final step and show everything then why bother having a make money blog? If I’m not prepared to go down the “do this, do that” practical route then what I’m left with is a blog that ends up like 99% of the other MMO blogs out there, all hot air and no substance. That’s definitely not what I want. That’s why I’ve made the decision to call it a day in this niche – if I can’t do it properly then don’t do it at all.

Some cynical people will be thinking that this is where I go on to tell you that I’m putting the blog up for sale. It’s all yours for $1000, $5000 etc! Not a chance, I REALLY don’t need the money, I blogged about making money online because it’s something I know how to do and in knowing that I don’t really need a quick buck from selling an established website. Fact. If I could leave you with one tip (that relates to my recipe) it would be this:-

Google wants the web to reflect real life as close as possible. Two things count, authority and respect. You gain authority from your peers, you gain respect by……, and that’s part of the secret. That’s why I would never sell one of my aged domains. Put mediocre content on a respected domain and it will rank very well in the long term. Put excellent content on a new domain and you’ll likely struggle.

So all that’s left to say is that I wish you all (yes even those bastards ripping my content) the very best for the future and that the internet makes you all rich! The internet is still a baby compared to what it will eventually become. It has huge growth ahead of it and unlimited possibilities so never give up. The next website could be the one that makes you your millions!

All the best,
Paul B
