1) Decide your category. Are you running a blog? A portal? A directory? A community? A brochure for a product? State the top three objectives for this site.

2) Id your competition. Draw a chart comparing your site to your competitors. Identify a differentiator. Be strong where your competitors are weak. Don't attack where your competitors are strong and you are weak.

Display chart on your site, so the value of your site is recognisable by way of comparison.

3) Id your target market. Focus on a psychographic who are most profitable and who need you the most. Email these people and do a survey regarding what they want from your site. Email these people and give them jobs.

4) Id partners. Find sites who need you to compliment their weaknesses with your strengths. Do cross promotional deals.

These are some of the more important things you can do to maximise the future valuation of your site. There are other things you can do.

Thanks much, This is exactly what I wanted to hear.
I mean, I need people to tell me
1.) That there is something wrong
2.) How I can fix it.

And Akula, you did just that. I really appreciate it

Guys check back in a few days, as I plan to implement these and other comments.

Anyone else has any comments?
