**Very Important Video - Please Watch**

[alfaprima]

Ed, I fully understand your fury and anger.
Just think that for each one of them, we are many more to be grateful for the 30DC.

THANKS A LOT TO ALL THE 30DC TEAM.

Just watched this video, it's been a long time coming. I had a thread closed back at the start of the challenge for ranting along a similar vein!

10TB/day on S3 costs $1700, not including storage or other associated costs. When you're forking out over $50,000 to help people you can't really blame him for getting miffed about it.

I did see some comments from Ed on friendfeed about my traffic blogpost, and hope that that's not part of it. That post was simply intended to help others who had misinterpreted their MS results, and learn from my mistake

Anyways, for what it's worth Ed/team/freebie suppliers - I'm really enjoying the challenge, and appreciate your hard work and patience.

Nikki...heh...that was my fave phrase too!!! I know a lot of IMers who analyze things up the wazzoo...not me I'll take the 30dc way from now on....saving time is essential when you are a single parent.

I am testing my butt off right now and waiting for that golden nugget phrase to pop up soon. In the past I always felt like it was a "needle in the haystack" approach I was taking and now I feel like the 30dc has given me direction, purpose and most importantly the road map and tools to achieve IM success.

I applaud Ed & Dan and all the 30dc team behind the scenes who are working so hard to bring us each day of the challenge.

Two things . . .

If you're having trouble watching the video like I did, try using **gulp** Internet Explorer. It was the only way I could see and hear it for some strange reason.

Secondly, if you're still not sure Ed is telling the truth about the value of testing, go look at keywords where there are 20 gazzilion competing sites all fighting over 45 visitors. All of these people did it wrong and are now stuck with expensive sites that get nothing.

Also check out how many products on ClickBank are for niches that have been worked to death and correspond to the 20 gazzilion sites. These people have spent months creating products that are fighting over those same 45 visitors.

We are the fortunate ones!

Wow! What did I miss? I have dial up so I don't get to this forum that often. I have to pick and chose what videos to watch. Yes, Ed, I don't see too many of your introduction videos each day. Sorry. Even today, I started to download today's lesson 1.5 hours ago and it says I have 12 more hours to go before it's done. But each lesson has been brilliant. And even though I can't use market samurai, you didn't leave us dialuppers in the dark and I thought that you explained everything very clearly.

This has been the best 30DC yet. Well, almost. I do miss the morning podcasts during my morning walks. Somehow picturing you in your car driving down the road talking to your iriver, or sneaking out to your car so you wouldn't wake up the kids, making comments about other drivers just made my morning walks a little bit more fun. Ah, the good old days. Flycatchers, now that was fun!

I just want you to know that I am behind you and appreciate all that you, Dan and all the rest of the gang are doing. I can't even imagine how much this is costing everyone in time, effort and money but it is really, really appreciated.

I am sorry to hear about the way things are going for your "vintage electric guitar" site. It really helped to see a real example.

But all in all just remember "ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM".

Your friend,
Brian

Hello gang,

I know that many many people will scream at me for the things I am going to write in a few words...
...but perhaps there should be a charge for the awesomeness! Could be a small fee, but just so high that "schoolkids" are excluded of all this information.

OK, the very concept of the Challenge is to provide information and techniques without billing the students, but if it's necessary just to be calm and easy and a little bit out of the public light, why not...
I would surely be worth it!

Isn't it bizarre that people only give worth to something when they have to pay for it??? It is just disgusting - to use one of the more descriptive words - that people complain about an answer NOT fiven within 20 minutes after a support ticket! I mean, pretty everything is for FREE here! I fully understand that Ed is very clear and very frank about all this. And I really hope that there will be a 30DC next year, even if we had to pay for it!

And just to say that Ed and ALL THE TEAM make an excellent job! You can't imagine how glad I am to have come across to take part in this Challenge. Please continue this terrific work!

Sorry, had to get this out!

I am sorry this had happened!
Unfortunately, it seems like there is often a bad apple in the bushel.

I appreciate everything I have learned here and the enormous amount of efforts.

And I LOVE Market Samurai!
What a gift!

NickkiB -

VERY well said! I will never be able to thank Ed and the entire TDC Team for all that they have done. This is my 2nd TDC and participating has changed my life for the better and I have 'met' online and now in person at the meetups an amazing group of people.

The TDC Team is such a positive, giving and talented group that I feel privileged to be able to 'work' along side them.


Please keep we appreciative lot in sight and do whatever needs to be done to smite the whiners and spammers.
