When did you start your website and why?
I started my website late December of 06 and published it early January of 07. While searching the net for Pennsylvania related information I found it difficult to find what I needed and even more difficult to find it all in one place. I love my state and thought it would be a great idea to add as many Pennsylvania related topics and resources in one place as I could. Thus making it easy for others to see what took me so long to find.
What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?
What I find most difficult is organizing the content in a user friendly layout. Also, finding the time to publish everything Pennsylvania has to offer it's citizens.
What has been the easist part of operating your website?
I find staying interested and motivated the easy part. I love to share what I discover and maybe helping someone along the way.
What was your biggest mistake?
My biggest mistake was publishing the site in a hurry. I've recently relaunched in a layout I like a lot more. I wish I would of taken my time to begin with and saved myself a lot of trouble.
Who maintains your website and why?
I maintain my website. Only because I know that in my hands quality will never suffer.
Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?
I don't own a business or expect to make large profits from my website. The goal is sharing. I've added google ads in the hopes of paying my monthly hosting fees, but that's about all I expect.
What are your views on ecommerce and the future of the internet?
Ecommerce is indeed the future. Retailer reports prove this year after year. More and more shopping is done online and it seems this trend will continue. If only I had the knowledge I do now a decade ago.
What are your views on Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
Most of my visitors come from search engines. I really need to take the time to make my website more search engine friendly.
What are your views on Search Engines? Have they helped or hindered your website?
They've definitely helped. 75% of my visitors have come from google, msn and yahoo search engines.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
I haven't really promoted my website. I find it hard to find the time to publish content, let alone promote my website.
What method has been least successful for promoting your website?
I guess not promoting my website has been my least successful way of promoting it, haha!
What would you like to see change with respect to the internet?
I guess I would like to see the access to the internet change. In my opinion broadband access is too expensive. I look forward to the days of a high speed connection for $9.99 a month.
