I do appreciate your honest opinion even if said in a rude manner with
name calling even. You've given me a lot to think about and I do see
your point on many subjects in your reply. What confuses me is I've
gotten an overwhelmingly positive response over the last few days
after posting this on numerous message boards and groups. Some people
have some constructive criticism, which is the reason I'm doing this,
but most people like the site. As far as not getting clients from the
site your highly mistaken there. I've got my biggest projects so far
from people who found a link to my site, looked it over, called me,
commented on the site and actually say that it's the reason they
called. I'm not sure I want to appear as a attorney cleaning ponds.
Maybe somewhere in between as I can see how it may be a little to cute
oriented.

Have a nice day

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Well, as long as Paghat broke the ice (hahaha): If you're getting clients,
they belong to the 54% that get tingles in their undies from bad grammar.

He's just telling whoppers, or his grandma bit.

Here's an idea: Add a start page with two links. Republicans (54%) click
here. All others here.

Seriously, don't ever settle for or appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I used to work for a very reputable investment firm. Most new people would
choose a stock or mutual fund and cold-call all day long with it. They'd
make a sale or two a day, for a few thousand bucks. I took a different
approach. I made calls and said I was looking for new clients. It took
longer, but one day, a miracle happened. There was a lady who was the
daughter of the guy who invented a product we all use. Her secretary was
sick, so she was answering her own phone. Two weeks and three meetings
later, she gave me a check for twelve million dollars "just to see what you
can do with some small money until we know each other better."

I mention this because I have some gorgeous garden books with pictures of
pools & ponds half the size of my house. Maybe you'd like that kind of
business. Would you drive to Redmond WA for a job like that? Hmm...who's
located in Redmond, and how many of its employees are millionaires?

So, with this in mind, what do you think of the idea of paying a high school
English teacher to polish your prose the way maids polish glassware for the
queen of England? Sound like a good idea?
