How to Build a High-Traffic Web Site (or Blog)

Although this is an article about web site optimisation (kind of) I found Steve Pavlina's attitude very inspiring, especially seeing as he (claims) to make a good living out his blog.

Point 10 is the most important, as the author himself says, and it must be true for any service or business - the number one priority should be to help others somehow. That is what I aim to do, help others by doing what comes naturally. In fact I already do it, and so do you. If you look carefully at your life I am sure you will find that this is true.

I was particularly inspired by his point that he does not write for computers (i.e. web crawlers) but for humans, and that he does not run a blog purely to be a portal by just linking to lots of stuff. I have been guilty of the latter sometimes, mostly from laziness. I am now inspired to re-commit to CONTENT. Thank you to those who read this blog on a regular basis, you can look forward to a revitalised Contemporary Taoist in the immediate future.
