And about design u say that u have spent $5,000 for Pronet Advertising design but don't u think it's too much, i saw Pronet Advertising theme it is good but not very stylish, i think u can easily build theme like this. yes neil i agree with u that we should pick a narrow topic for our blog instead of choosing a wider topic to compete with other sites.

One question though, how do you connect with other bloggers? It is easy once you are known in the industry but when starting out it is hard to get a response from 'known bloggers' even by messaging on twitter. So many are now up their own ass or will only reply if they think they can make a few bucks, so many have forgot we all have to start somewhere...
