And I will stop being a total computer nerd and sit back in my chair...I had to kill some time...what sucks...I was able to render read and format my carts in about 20 to 30mins...time to find something else to do to kill time.

I do that, too. Watch out for the Russian Federation, though. They're trying for stealing your info. Stay current on your filter tech. Bulgaria, too.

Hmm..I will keep an eye on it but the last attack I had on my site sucked big time..try tried to over load the system with a over load type of attack..they failed all tho...it did slow up a tab.

I feel if you over look the stats of your website and factor in the amount of calls/e-mails you get over a weeks/months time you can really get a feel on how things are working.

What I do know is my advertising campaign in the DFW has gone very well. Its running something like 1hr to 4hours worth of work each week to keep them running tip top (=$300 or so) = around 100 to 500 profit of new work not counting new things. And then my advertising campaign in other states is rather small by the amount of square miles that it covers costs me nothing but time (we all know time = money)

Just so I don't have a ton of people asking me.

Reason why my advertising campaign cost as little as it does. I use alot of "free" means of advertising but I do door/hand outs, the paper *there are a good few papers for the DFW* an other cheap but good means.

To start a advertising campaign you don't need to spend no 1,000 or more like some companies what to charge you. Start small and work up from there.
