I was referring more to the free web sites being the distraction, though in fairness, I have done a few that have stretched me technically and I've had to pick up new knowledge - and that keeps me ahead. The change in my stance is that I'm now not afraid of saying no and I am fully prepared to stand by a scale of charges :) Absolutely right Trond.

I’d say that patient is big part of running online site, no matter if is website or blog. I try with many different method to get indexed, and after many months got great results. Everything takes time! It’s very hard to reach readers. I’d say that patient is big part of running online site, no matter if is website or blog.

Of course, it depends on what you actually like doing and what else is in it for you (improving web development skills, making relations with new clients that could end up buying other services and so on). However, it can sometimes be very hard to turn down projects that, when you do the math, are only distractions from other tasks that may be several times more profitable on a per hour basis..
