Barbara I don't have a great answer to your question except to use them in the same mode, comment on their sites, collect more their commented posts and you will became more authority site then they are the authority... in time... we use to say "spy on the competition"... it is legal and see if they do more then you. Just play the same game.

Now, Kevin it is a mater of traffic, there are a gazillion of sites up on Internet nowadays, so we must learn to make enough noise about our work to be visible enough.
I know my sweet mother taught me to be "modest", "let others to see how good you really are"... and it took a lot of time to realize that modesty is not the answer in our times, so I am not modest anymore, I brand myself all the chance I get... but I need a lot of time to understand the reality. LOL ... I don't say that is Mama fault... but our times are different vs. her times.

I'm an occasional drinker, but do like wine, mostly red wine though. My sister makes homemade wine and does a great job. This is the first time I've seen a recipe of Pineapple wine, I would like try it someday...thanks for sharing!

Excellent, as always, Michey! And, Spook, I DO understand!

I'm glad to know I'm in such good company! I've noticed before that a majority of homeschooling moms tend to be introverts; I'm sure it's at least partly because school was such a poor fit for us!

Cool shirts! I'd wear one even though I've never seen the show.

I am a slow starter, but I sure like making products on Zazzle. I've learned a lot from your approach, Lou! I've sold three items altogether. I need to promote more, I know.

I'm glad to see you here, AJ, fellow Canadian and Squidooer! I look forward to reading your wizzlies or wizzles or whatever we call them. I'm a new fan!

Always useful coming from you Michey. I get so downhearted with two men and a dog ever visiting any of my stuff no matter how hard I try, yet I see junk after junk doing very well and making sales. I guess it's just a question of taste?

I'm in the fortunate position of having a number of backlinks from authority sites without doing all this. They are from university sites which have found my content useful. What I'd like to know is how to get sites with no contact information to remove credited information taken from my site without permission with no clickable link back. They are using me as an authority to help them sell on a site that directly competes with mine.

Wow, Carma, you and I are a WHOLE lot alike. I'm an introvert and was very, very shy as a child. I have to wonder after reading this if I might have been just an introvert and not shy, but treated as shy and learned to act that way simply because of a more outgoing extended family. Guess I'll never know. I do know that one of my children was forever being called shy, which he really was not, and he and I both disliked that people called him shy. He was just very introverted and disliked "foolish behavior" in others from a very early age, thus withdrawing from large groups, giving the impression of being shy. He's not at all shy today, and was not in any of his college classes (to the delight of his professors), though he still dislikes foolish behavior (also to the delight of his professors!). I'm just glad our children were both able to work through their personalities with more supervision from us in a homeschooling environment, not being forced into certain situations until they were more ready. Long answer - sorry. This is a great article. Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by tssfacts. I hear ya :0) But that "pioneer spirit" (for me) just will not leave me along. (smiles)

That Great Leopard Moth is gorgeous!

This is fantastic. I too grow my items in containers and love it. I have some tomatoes that are just about ready, and I am so excited about them! Good job Susan!!

I suspect devilry is at work again. You got to box (I mean coconut) very clever here.
