When I started submitting Ezine articles, I never realized their true power. I was just happy to see articles being published.

I expected to get some traffic and hopefully some sales. I would have laughed if you told me those early words would still be floating around web over five years later.

Well, smack me on wrist and call me shorty, they are. You would think that's a good thing and it is except... That's operative word, "except." The little critters are still multiplying around web like rabbits in heat, but there is a little problem. Actually, problem isn't so little.

This darn problem haunts me. At least a couple of times a week it drives me insane. Whenever I run across it I feel like dullest axe in shed.

If I were double jointed, I'd kick myself in "hello there."

So what is this dumb mistake that:

-> Has me pulling my hair out by roots

-> Has me kicking myself over and over

-> Haunts me like that house in Amityville

Outdated resource boxes with links leading to that dreaded 404 error.

I'm afraid to guess how much money and traffic I'm losing. It's a nightmare. Those babies are doing their part, but crazy John has made ultimate dumb mistake.

One possible cause could be a slow download speed of your web site's homepage or web site as a whole. There is nothing worse than having to wait for a web site to load up. Studies indicate that majority of visitors will only wait 3 - 5 seconds for a homepage to load up before clicking elsewhere. If your homepage doesn't load up in this time (from a standard internet connection) you are running risk of losing lots of visitors before they've even read content of homepage.

They Won't Hang Around!
