Not by a long shot!

In the final analysis, any site that makes you money
is a successful site. From a marketing perspective,
any site which brings in an income can be considered a
well designed site. Many people can't get their heads
around this fact: some of the most basic/ugly sites can
be the most profitable. You don't need a perfect site.

Believe me, I know from first-hand experience.

Your site doesn't have to be a design knock-out to
earn you money. My first site www.bizwaremagic.com
which I designed from scratch when I didn't have
a clue what a perfect site should be or look like
but my modest site now brings in over 50,000 visitors
a month and Google just upgraded it to a PR6.

All that is not really important, what is important
my site brings in money each and every day! It is a
profitable site, it's not pretty but it works. I earn
revenue from Google Adsense, I earn revenue from
affiliate sales and I have even formed partnerships
with other major sites and businesses on the web.

I get more and more companies coming to me each
week asking if they can display their products/links
on my site. I recently turned down a major fellow
Internet marketer who wanted to put a link on the
top of my home page and that guy makes millions
online each year!

Why are they bothering with me and my site?

Because my site brings in targeted traffic and visitors
who buy products and services which those companies
are selling. My site is valuable to them. My site can
deliver leads, customers and business to those other
third parties. My modest little site is not perfect but
it sells. It has value.
