Apart from a great how-to on starting up a site, it highlights the growing trend to buying websites rather than starting from scratch. Like Patrick, anyone who’s tried starting a site from scratch will know first-hand how much work it can be to attract and retain an audience. It’s a sign of the times!

Company-centric content. Never sharing other people’s content. Unless you’re marketing to a very specialized niche, using plain English will make more people more inclined to share your content. No way for fans to publish content. This will inspire a quick un like. In social media, most good deeds go rewarded.

A real time search engine should not be used for the majority of your searches. Also, if you want to find a new website – for shopping or to play video games – a traditional search engine is the way to go.
