It's actually a quite intersting thing you said about CMS vs static websites. I noticed a similar thing. Somehow the static websites I built from scratch have always done better than the CMS ones. I suppose it's because you feel more connected to the project you put more time into, it's more personal and that makes you simply spend more time on it building content too. I still think CMS websites are a very good option for a lot of people (especially people running small businesses who want to easily change and add stuff to their website), but if you're a person that likes to tinker yourself with the the web, it probably is a good idea to have a go at building a simple site yourself. .-= Nem´s last blog ..Can you trust Domain Authority and Page Authority metrics? =-.

Hi John,

Moving away from the Site Sell part, I will go to the part that says I agree with your assessment in people not fully understanding everything it takes to make and keep their websites successful.

Even those of us who do it for a living have some difficulties keeping up and expanding some of our own sites. I have an anti-smoking site that I just threw up last year and have added nothing to it. Basically it’s floundering, but I’m leaving it alone because I don’t have the time to do anything with it. Luckily it’s not my primary business, but it is for many people who don’t take all of my suggestions for helping to make their websites relevant. Sad, but hey, it sometimes pays the bills anyway.

Hi JD
My site is not a serious business, but I hope to start making something once it is established.

I’ve taken the time to get a domain name appropriate to the site topic and am starting to read posts such as this one.

You say “The problem is that the rush you get from starting the site isn’t enough to keep up the enthusiasm for continuing to build the site”

I’ve planned setting up my site and what to write abouit, and I’m hoping that my enthusiasm increases as my knowledge of making money on the web increases.
