A while ago I got Darren Rowse’s AIM username from his site and I had a chat with him about his online business. It’s a short chat and I asked for some advice. He told me the same thing that I read over and over again: high quality content will attract visitors. At that time I used to blog about AdSense all the time so my main blog was AdSense-Nation.com which I closed down and redirected all visitors to the Google category of this site.

The following is the chat with him that I saved. I bolded his words so it’ll be easier for you to find and read.
