I see this as the biggest problem with Twitter also.

Twitter is my favorite app, but it's because I have spent five plus years curating my feed.

There is a fundamental problem with the way they onboard new users and this is why so many people don't stick around.

The onboarding process asks you to select interests and then recommends people to follow based on those interests.

However, they often recommend celebrities and 'popular' accounts.

These people are often terrible at Twitter, so new users see a bunch of boring, self-promotional content in their feed and don't come back.

Or pay bills with a credit card and get points on the card for your trouble. Plus an extra month to pay.

This is the first thing that stuck out to me also. It's a very polarizing topic and needs to be said differently.

Agreed. Depending on the search the #17 position might not appear until the third page. The vast majority of people don't get past the top three results and almost no one makes it to the bottom of page two or page three. You might get one extra visit a month moving from 40 to 17.

Also the penguin update doesn't specifically penalize new sites. It was primarily directed at sites with unnatural back link profiles.

I have had a similar experience with small businesses over the past year. Even if they don't know what WordPress is someone has told them that they should use WordPress.

I position any project as a way to increase business through design, SEO/SEM, conversion rate optimization, but I find frequently that WordPress is a selling point.

I'm pretty confident that I'll get significant value out of this book for my current job, but I also agree with this sentiment. For all of the value that I have received from Patrick's posts, comments, podcasts, etc. over the years this is the least I can do. Buying it now.

I thought I was losing my mind when this happened to me the other day while at a trade show trying to access Google Analytics from my iPhone.

The service includes directory submission! Is this 1995?

Really enjoy reading these, thanks for posting

I don't know how I got this far in life without knowing this, thanks

My favorite is the point that there are often better strategies (more profitable) than going after the most popular terms.

Steve himself links to the bookdepository in his blog comments.

The stamp says 1899, but it says 1869 at the bottom of each page. Is it actually from 1869?

Interesting take on confidence, but I have to disagree with the view of will power. I would like to believe that I can act against the greatest impulse in my brain at any given moment, even if I love cupcakes and I am hungry. Anything else seems like strict determinism.

I also believe they will use some of the new money to cash out early investors.

Done by Google, are they still #1 above Facebook?

I just tagged that link with delicious for later.
