- Women… you never know what my hair color will be next time.
See you next Sunday, if not sooner, Jane!
- Indeed it is.
- Thanks, Andrea - I’ll see you next Sunday then!
- So sweet you are, Jayne. You are so far behind, you think you are in front - priceless!
By the way, I am very good at appearing that I am in front, but the truth is I am just learning how to do it. This is the first time in my blogging career that I already have a few posts written so I feel like I am ahead. But trust me, a step to the left or right and I am right back behind. I think it’s the name of the game.
I am honored you still take time to come visit me sometimes - thank you.
Ana
- Good to see you back, Edwin, and thank you!

Not sure how to get to that test, Sheila - any more info? - Blog Audit Friday: Getting Back to Square One
There are some tools that can give you an insight as to what’s wrong with your blog, Dan, but I was never able to find the one that does it all. (maybe I need to create a product? )However, it’s always great to get the human prospective - that’s the most valuable part of an one-on-one review like this one. Plus you can ask questions.
Anyway…
Unfortunately, I can’t help you with your .php files. What you need to add is stored in your theme, and of course I am not familiar with it.
With Thesis it’s easy, I don’t even need to go into my blog files…
Sorry, Dan - you know a forum of sorts can help you with that.

Well, seems like you’ve got your work cut out for you, Simon!So what are you doing commenting on my blog instead of taking care of your blog?
Kidding… ALWAYS comment on my blog first, then do what you need to do. Taglines are always hard. I used to think when I first started that I needed to show my prospects WHO I WAS. Boy, was I wrong… As soon I realized that and started focusing on my readers, my business took off.

Glad you fixed it, Alan; still have no idea why it happened.I never bothered with changing .htaccess since I didn’t want to run any chances I’d screw it up in the process. So all I did was the 2 steps above.
However, if you know what you are doing, that’s definitely the way to go.

Hey Ana! Great to see your sweet face
Happy New Years to you! And yes I’d join you for a coffee (or tea). If you are in Phoenix anytime, I will take you out to one too!
Have a wonderful week.
Thanks, Andrea - I’ll see you next Sunday then!
Its a great idea Ana. I have to say i have had a chuckle at some of the comments. Regarding your organization… I think you’re outstanding… I’m so far behind these days - I think I’m in front….
To be honest I can hardly keep up with you. I spend so much time reading, I can barely get pen to paper…. I think i’ll have to start taking my laptop to bed… and having a coffee there so I can be more effective during the day.
See you Sunday!

Hi Ana,
What a fun idea. I’ll join you as I’m a big coffee drinker too. I’m looking forward to your posts and think the idea of a conference chat would be even more fun!
As far as questions, I do have one. I’m getting some errors on blog grader that say my meta descriptions on several of my posts are too long, but my goal is usually between 100 and 160 characters, and from what I’ve researched, that seems to be a pretty common recommendation. Am I mistaken on my numbers?
Thanks!
Heather
Heather C Stephens´s last blog ..Get More Blog Traffic and Leads the Easy Way!
I think most mothers are coffee drinkers, Heather; we have to keep up with life somehow…
Your description should be under 150 characters; anything above that will be too long for search engines.
Thanks for the question!
YaY Ana, I love this Sunday coffee idea of yours
. Brilliant! However, I’m gonna have to join ya with a cup of cocoa instead. I can’t stand coffee and I know it’s rather strange - me being from the Middle East and all. But Nesquik or Swiss Miss will have to do!
As for the vodka hmm…. a bit too early, don’t ya think? lol
I was so hoping I wouldn’t have to start one of my comments here with “I love this and I love that” but what can I say?
I’ll be looking forward to seeing the discussions as well as your dual post. They’ve got nothing on you Ana, Nothing! hahaha
I was thinking…would it be too complicated or not feasible to have some kind of conference live discussion using something like Skype?
Danny Brown did a live Q&A session on his blog a few weeks ago (using Livefyre) and I think it quite a success. Not saying that you should use Livefyre but maybe just seeing if something like that could work - where at a certain time you’d be here to have answers shooted at ya with direct responses.
Anyhooo, just a thought. But the Skype one could be interesting - as long as the delay time is minimal if at all.
I refuse to end this with “Awesome post Ana - as usual” so I won’t! Damn, I think I just did lol.
Cheers Tzarina

You are beyond cool, Ingrid - you know that?
I think it’s a brilliant idea to have a live session. I am a bit intimidated since I have to come off smart on the spot and all, but I think it’s worth a shot.
Do you know if Danny recorded his session, by any chance? I’d love to see what he did. Also, what time did he do it? With international bloggers, I’d love to pick the best time possible.
Thanks, Ingrid - see ya!
Hello again,
“Beyond cool”? Well, coming from you - that’s “beyond awesome!”
Thank you.
Here are 2 links to Danny’s post regarding the live chat session. One is about it and the other the actual session.
Hope this helps.
Whatever you end up doing - you’ll be great. We already know you’re smart Ana - and whatever you say - you know better than us - so you can say the sky is green - and we may look up haha.
Best of luck and make sure to let us know when, how, what and all that! Can’t wait!

Ingrid:
I have to smile everytime I see “Tzarina!” It reminds me of that Smashing Pumpkins song, “My Czarina.” And now, thanks to you, when that blasts on my iPod, I think of traffic generation and vodka!! You pegged it right though, when we want answers, this is where we should be.

I just poured some Vodka IN my coffee and I think that means I am internationally covered here. This is such a fantastic idea and I too look forward to your link building post. One thing I can say is that with you laying out your week for us shows EXACTLY how organized you are and why you are a success…well besides your brilliant, innovative content…but that’s a given. So, here’s to some Kamchatka and columbian blend!

It’s one of my goals for the year - to always be ahead and not behind.
We’ll see how that one works out…
This looks good, can’t wait for the Thursday surprise

You have some great ideas, Ana!
I will definitely wait your Sunday posts with a cup of coffee near me from now one.

I’m looking forward to Wednesday’s post, can’t wait to see what your link building plan is for this year. Hope you have an awesome week

So much to learn…
See you next Sunday?
Hehe.. yea, I’ll be here next Sunday… I’ll have my cup of coffee in hand, too.
Hector Cuevas´s last blog ..BBP 005- Growing Your Internet Business Without Killing Yourself
Well Ana! Really it is a pleasure to read your blog while have a cup of coffee. I think your blog is really innovative and fresh.
Your blog post is really great and my family also like it. Thanks Ana!

Well, thank you very much! I had no idea reading my blog can be a family affair…:)
Have a great week!
This is a very nice idea Ana
You remind me with Tea and Turkish Coffee I used to have with my friends at Cairo! I miss this a lot as I don’t have friends here where I live in the States, I’ve moved one year and 3 months ago! So it’s going to take a while before I can make new offline friendship, of course my online business is taking me from the outside world which makes it even more harder!
I Drink a lot of coffee, and when I say a lot.. I mean a lot
but anyways.. There is no joy without buddies!
I hope I will be around next week!

Hi Ana
Looks like we are going to get some great things over here on your blog in 2011. I’ll get my cuppa (cup of tea) ready and enjoy
Thanks for the heads up on what we have waiting for us Ana. Looking forward to my continued learning curve, some of it here at TGC.

Thanks, Patricia.
I was wondering if it’s a good or a bad thing to let people know beforehand what I am going to publish that week.
What if they decide it’s not exciting enough and won’t come?
What do you think?
I don’t think you have to worry about people not visiting cos it’s not exciting enough Ana! Your blog is extremely popular and for good reason. Quality posts that we can learn from. Thanks Ana for all you bring to the blogging community.

Patricia@lavenderuses´s last blog ..At Lavenderuses Safety First Means…

Hi Ana,
I’d love to enjoy sunday coffee with you. I am very much a coffee drinker. Are you going to keep these sessions as youtube videos or would you consider opening it up to a more interactive platform such as skype?
I love the concept. It’s a great way to make blogging way more interactive.
Richard´s last blog ..How do I make Money Online
Wow, love the Skype idea… I wonder how I can work that out…
Not too good with that yet; just recently broke down and started using it.
Could use help on how to set it up, Richard - if you know!
Sure Ana,
I’ve been using skype to talk to my family for the last year or so. It’s fairly straightforward. The traditional skype only allowed video chatting between two parties, but they’ve just started open beta for group video calling which would work for your sunday chats.
I’d start a separate skype account for traffic generation cafe though, just to keep it separate from your personal calls.

I love using my comments as a forum of sorts, Richard - that’s one of the ways we learn.
Definitely love your idea; will give it careful consideration.
Thanks for being willing to help me out with this!
Can’t wait for the new posts coming up, and love the new video idea! Love it, always cutting edge with you, and your accent is too much.
Meaning: love it (this is going to sound LAME but…we used to watch a lot of Rocky and Bullwinkle, your accent reminds me of Natasha).

BTW - can I watch these videos with a cup of tea? I don’t want to step on your toes, I mean.
JamestheJust@The Expensive Copywriter Guy´s last blog ..December 2010 Passive Income Earnings Report
A cup of tea it is, James.
By the way, I once auditioned for a video game voice-over and was told that my accent wasn’t Russian enough for them. I think they ended up hiring an American… Go figure.
The Expensive copywriter? At least your are calling it what it is.
Hi Ana,
Your idea reminds me of when little girls and boys get together with their toy cups and saucers and have a pretend tea party with nothing in their cups but pretend tea or coffee. Somehow, cyber coffee isn’t going to keep me awake, but I don’t like to think that I can’t talk to friends on Sunday. So, I think you have a great idea.

Thanks, Lou.
Pretend tea parties - I’ve been having a lot of those lately. My 3-year old got a “tea party” set for Christmas, so I was her willing audience.
Love to see you here. And again congrats on your site getting indexed - good work!
Ana
I’m new to the whole blogging crowd, but I’ve really enjoyed the great quality videos you have shared the past few days on your blog. I like the close personal touch you have with your website and its readers. Maybe one day I’ll work up the courage to do a video post.
Jared Holland´s last blog ..65 Percent of People Purchase Digital Goods Online
Welcome to my blog, Jared.
The very first video I did I had to do… 35 (!) takes before there was the one I finally semi-liked. Trust me, it comes with practice and the sooner you start practicing, the sooner you get better. (I sound like my grandma here.
)
Ana
Hey Ana, I feel your “pain”.
I moved to USA recently, I am Serbian, and the main thing in Serbia is drinking coffees with your friends and sitting in little coffee shops all day long
I miss that so much!
And I know this is soooo not related, but you gotta change the header image, your haircut is so great in this video
I have my cup of coffee with me right now and I am going to replay the video to have coffee with you. My husband doesn’t drink coffee, too.
I look forward to the next week posts, esp. Wednesday since I would love to see how you planned to develop your blog in this year.
Great idea for Sundays and looking forward to seeing what you prepared for us.

Thanks for raising your cup of coffee with me, Brankica - it means a lot.
My haircut… Yes, I decided to go for a fresh start since my daughter’s birth; a lot easier with shorter hair! Glad you like it. Changing the header image will have to wait though.
I might change my hair back soon - depends on which direction the wind blows. 
See you around, ma’ dear!
Ana
Great plan for the upcoming week. I too am surprised by your haircut. Actually you look so cute and charming with the short hair. But surely does contradict with the header image
BTW I drink a lot of coffee. So I can be your buddy I guess.
