2) Find a content-management system that matches your needs
3) Spend the rest of your time trying to get the ***** to work in Internet Explorer - imconfused, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3I think the "compelling" component is key. Would probably also add "simple"

2) Smurferation
3) Smur - inactive, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2Hmmm, not really new stuff but yet interesting.
- EXreaction, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2Don't forget the part about trying to figure out a good domain name. Especially since practically all the decent ones are taken by cyber squatters.
- diggn_it, on 12/11/2007, -3/+4I thought this was going to be about web programming, not some guy saying 1) have a great service 2) tell people about it 3) have a blog or something. Wow, thanks guy-who-just-oversimplified-everything-and-skipped-over-the-process-of-creating-all-three.
Buried. - natdowner, on 12/11/2007, -1/+2Agreed. A lot of this stuff is the same old -build it and they will come- kind of stuff. It's like "No *****! People will come to my site if.. if ... if it's good?"
- georgehuff, on 12/11/2007, -2/+3This was wack - way too oversimplified and a general lack of insight.
- bxblox, on 12/11/2007, -1/+2Theres been a recent increase in "x steps to doing x better," but they're all vague and common sense.
How to sell a car:
1. Learn about it.
2. Always smile.
3 Negotiate.
4. Spread the word
5. More obvious points... - fkr3, on 12/11/2007, -1/+1Not really interesting either. Matt Cutts doesn't produce sites he does anti-spam stuff at Google and acts as a more personal presence from Google for SEO guys.
- Ardoon, on 12/11/2007, -1/+1Hows about "Don't be Moot."
- rss2pdf, on 12/11/2007, -2/+2There comes a point where information is so generalized and 'common sense' that it's stupid to even mention it. And that's the way this article is. (Not that Matt ever intended it to be presented this way...he frequently has extremely useful things to say.)
- hardcorerikki, on 12/11/2007, -1/+1Hey nice points brought ;)
- crakbot, on 12/11/2007, -1/+1Using wordpress is all you need for SEO....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This article is useless if you want any sort of REAL traffic.
- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -1/+1wtf? news? ding fries are done, guy kawasaki.
- str3ama, on 12/11/2007, -2/+1lol at step 3 "Smart Marketing"..I'm pretty sure he was going to add in "And don't forget to use Adsense to market your site".
- steevacy, on 12/11/2007, -1/+0Bogus. Good luck actually applying any of this to a real situation.
- Wartz, on 12/11/2007, -2/+1I am stick of all this "x steps to build a site!/get rich!/get laid!" Most of it is "duh" or just plain stupid advice.
- dylangaine, on 12/11/2007, -1/+0seems like 3 incredibly basic points...
- prositrex, on 12/11/2007, -1/+0Google dig(g)s Wordpress...
- kidvitacus, on 12/11/2007, -2/+0Good summary. He said a lot of great things in Vegas. I was actually surprised by his take on domain advertising regarding spam too.
- ukdave, on 12/11/2007, -5/+2Wordpress is the best by far.
