Yes, I agree, the ad is really the price for using their service. It is part of the rules, the rules are clear and you can play the game or not.

About the main and supporting post: yes, the idea is to get traffic on main post, but for some reason for some less popular longtails support site can outrank my main post. We are not living in ideal (or at least very predictable) world, but this situation can be used to improve my main post, because I can rewrite it and get the traffic from keywords I didn't even think about before.

I was working as a bouncer on some concerts many years ago when I was in college and I 100 percent agree security heavily depends on psychology. Just wearing red ribbon on my arm I looked 20 centimeter taller and 20 kilos heavier.

Control barriers were not so popular back than and crowd was much more dangerous. Now I see them mostly on sport events and they are of great help.

Thanks for presenting some interesting background.

Good point about the name, the part I don't like is the ad they place on the top. I know about the earnings part, but since I'm not selling anything it makes no difference to me :)

Was just wondering if you write about Red Riding Hood, then your main post will outrank the smaller version on Weebly most of the time - won't it?

Agree with Thamisgith, it can be great for a hobby or support. It is great learning tool for HTML illiterate people and I noticed a lot of educational foundations use it too (e.g. it can be used as a site of certain classroom).

Weebly is great. The drag and drop features are easy to use and, as you say, about 95% of users won't suffer because of some small limitations.

It's a great vehicle for a hobby site or a site to support one of your main sites.

@jezhug: Good to hear that!

@lobobrandon: Backlink should never be the only benefit, my main goal is always to get traffic. In my case, and I believe I am not the only writer on the net, when I do a research for an article, I never use every material I find.

For example: I have a post about Little Red Riding Hood. I provide the whole fairy tale, the background, symbolism etc. But I found out some users only search for short summary. I make it on Weebly (or similar site) and if they want more, there is link to my main post. It is similar usage as at support blogs, but this site is more static.

In SEO world Weebly is widely used as a so called buffer too. I will write about buffers in another article (not necessary here). In short: buffer is safety measure against unexpected changes of search engines algorithms.

And of course link diversity was never something I would run away from...

If you are after money making on the net, Weebly itself gives you several options - please read this article again, point 8.

One more thought. Why should I remove their name (unless I want to promote my own brand - and I already have it)? Weebly is good trusted brand with 12 millions of users. I don't remove NIKE from my shoes either...

I hope my answers are good enough, if you have more specific question, just go for it:)

I'm sitting here with a Rottweiler lying across my feet (very warm, but quite heavy too!). They are such lovely dogs. I haven't any dogs myself, but Lily is one of those at my friends' house. I just showed her the pictures in your article and she showed some interest. :D

I'm a great believer in just jumping in with both feet and getting on with it. Perhaps you could start with an article about trusting in your instinct. It sounds like I, for one, need reminding!

I'm glad that you found it informative. This was not a shining moment on the part of the British; and the Irish are still recovering from this devastation, especially in terms of population and language.

This is why I love history so much. There is always a story behind everything. :D

It gets it clean though. :)

Please do give it a go. It's not nearly as scary as it looks.

Wow! Congratulations! *happy dances for you*

I've used weebly before, but never saw the benefit of using their free services. I'm definitely not going to pay to get their name off. I could just as well use a better host and buy my own domain name for the same rate.

So, what's the benefit of having a free site up there? Just for the backlink or do you see more benefits?

Sarah, thank you for sharing our story. I agree that Audrey is extraordinary...it amazes me that she has come so far after the trials of her life...I am very proud of her and will share you comments with her. Thank you again!

Love Weebly. Even their paid plans are incredibly cheap. I have about 10 websites with them ;)
