I Hate To Admit It, I Even Think I'll Be Misunderstood, But There Are Several Time Wasters I Encounter Throughout The Day That Can Negatively Impact My Business. Let's Be Honest: The Internet Is A Cool Tool, But There Are Enough Distractions To It That Can Keep You From What You Really Need To Do: Make Money. Here Is My Short List Of Things That Are Real Time Wasters:bBloggingb -- Yeah, I Like To Blog. Love It Even. Still, There Are Times That Blogging Can Become An End To Itself. What Is My Page Rank? How Do I Rate With Technorati? This Particular Blog Is My Favorite -- I Manage 7 Of Them -- But Some Of The Seven Aren't Worthy Of My Daily Thoughts. Just Thought That You Would Like To Know!bForumsb -- Going Back 8 Or 9 Years I Used To Regularly Participate On This One Particular, Not-to-be-named Forum. Got Into A Lot Of Heated Arguments, But I Still Had Some Fun. When It All Adds Up, The Only Thing I Can Chalk Up To Experience Is That Spending Too Much Time On Any Forum Is A Real Time Waster. Okay, I Still Like Forums, So I Control My Time Usage.bWeb Pagesb -- Tweak, I Must! There Is No Such Thing As A "done" Web Page. Maybe Overdone! There Are Times That I Simply Have To Stop Making Updates And Simply Go With The Page As It Is. No One Else Cares About The Javascript, The Background Color, The Font As Much As I Do. Why Sweat It?bAd Networksb -- Three Years Ago I Relied Heavily On Banner Ads To Help Generate Revenue. All That Work For The Occasional 25 Monthly Check...not Worth It!bPPC Schemesb -- Some Plans Are Better Than Others. Personally, I Haven't Found One That Works As Well As Google's AdSense Program Although The Yahoo! Publisher Network Is Improving. For 30 Consecutive Months I Have Made The Monthly Minimum Payouts With AdSense -- Even Generating That Much Money In Just One Day -- So It Is A Good Program. Still, I Don't Have Time To Monitor Every Ad On Every Page On Every Site.So, There You Have It. My Short List Of Time Wasters. I Am Sure That There Are More, But You Probably Have Already Gotten My Point.
