For your goals to be useful, they must be specific and clearly defined.
Specific goals include the following examples:
I want to gain 50 new incoming links by the end of the month
I want to gain 100 new forum members each day
I want to make $100 a day in advertising revenue
Non-specific, and consequently worthless, goals include:
I want to be successful
I want to make money
This is not only 100% correct, it is absolutely unarguable. But then why do so many of the vehement DALPA defenders continue to denigrate this most basic tenet of making gains in life? They denigrate it not because it is wrong or inappropriate, they denigrate it because specific goals and objectives would provide a metric by which DALPA's effectiveness could be measured. For that reason, DALPA will fight anything that could provide such a measuring metric. That's why DALPA will never release survey results...even after negotiations are over. It's also why the contract opener we exchange with management will never be released.
