Some of you guys have a lot on your plate! You make me feel even more amateur than I really am, LOL.  Anyway, I currently have 3 websites, which I often find is more than I have time for. Regular updates are important to keep a website alive, and I find that I can only concentrate on one at a time.

I have promoted affiliate links in my blog, that brought decent results. I have also used free classifieds, that's a waste of time... Forums are not a good option either, because posting affiliate links may affect your credibility ("Oh, you're here to sell stuff!") and besides some forums prohibit that.

That's very impressive Webeek! I am not sure I could do that - yet. I am learning html, it's been a slow process since I am doing it by myself, using online tutorials, tips, and such. Is this tutorial you have mentioned newbie-oriented or do you have to know some coding already?

What do you do to obtain quality backlinks to your sites? I personally prefer doing it the hard way - putting up good articles, and promoting them rather than leaving comments on other people's sites with a link to mine and hoping they won't delete it.

Hello fellow webmasters! I am new here, looking around and getting to know this place. I like the wealth of info I see here! I am an amateur webmaster eager to learn, so I'm sure I will find all kinds of useful tips.

That's me - I know very little about coding, so for now I rely on Site Builders. Is GoDaddy a free hosting service? I believe I had checked them out when I was just starting to build my sites but I chose not to go with them. I have been using Tripod, and they are fast enough.

I am not an expert webmaster, more of an amateur still in the process of learning, so I don't use anything sophisticated. I have used FrontPage, and it served my needs well. I hear good things about Wordpress, would you recommend to try it?

I have been using WAHM.com for a while, it is an excellent source of information, especially when you hear of a work-at-home opportunity and wonder whether it is legit. In such cases I go to WAHM, and usually someone over there has tried it, knows about it, or knows someone who does. Scams are easy to weed out this way, and if it's not a scam, it also helps to see whether people like the job or not.

I do not promote my sites offline. The #1 reason is that most of them are hosted through a free service, so the links are not something short and catchy that customers would easily remember. Someday I will expand and buy proper domain names, but for now, what I do is not big enough to invest extra $$.

I had received a warning email from Google once (I guess I was lucky because in many cases they send no warnings, just a notification like this one that your account is banned). They thought I was using traffic exchange / autosurf programs. I wrote back and told them that I do not use autosurf, I did try traffic exchange in the past but no longer use it, either. Somehow, they'd let me keep my account active.

In your case, I think you should at least try to find out what exactly they have found wrong with your site and then explain what needs to be explained.
