@Derek (Learn Affiliate Marketing) – Thanks for the comment. It’s nice to know people miss me

@Mark – Thats very true. The longer you’re website/business is around, the more breadcrumbs you leave behind. A good marketing blitz for the first few months of your business should do really well in the long term too.

@MarketingDeviant – Again, thanks for the concern The time people stayed was around the same. 3-4 minutes on average.

I was also thinking what happened to you too! …. Was there a big decrease in the amount of time a person stay in your website during your absence?

I’ve been deliberately trying to remove myself from the day to day runnings of my business for the last few months. The two keys for me have been processes and people.

Having processes in place allow others to do the tasks that I had to do before and, of course, having a few good people involved makes that all the easier.

As for my blogging efforts my subscriber figures actually rose while I was away a week ago but I’ve started building up a small bank of articles and posts that I can schedule to go out when I’m traveling – keeps the blog looking fresh.

I suppose the more you do online the more breadcrumbs you leave behind for people to find their way to you.

Haha, nice! I was wondering what happened to you. I enjoy reading your posts and was hoping you didn’t fall off the face of the Earth!

Also, yeah I’ve been there where I just haven’t had time to work for a week, because of a family death, sick, etc and luckily like you, my business is able to sustain itself for a week or two without a problem!
