Let's start with understanding exactly what an authority site is.
There are two types of authoritie sites.
1) Absolute Authority Sites
Sites like Huffington Post, The Daily Beast and Google’s blog would be considered Absolute Authority Sites.
These sites are also labeled “informational” authorities versus navigational authorities like DMOZ.2) Relative Authority Sites
More geared toward internet businesses, you also have relative authority sites. These are sites run by bloggers or webmasters that are authorities in a niche. Basically Blog or Niche sites that are considered authorities in their markets. (Hint: This one is you!)

Planning is an important step in the actual development of your site, whether it is a relative or absolute site...in most cases, it will likely be a site targeting a niche. Get your domain, research the audience, then architect your site on paper or within an online document. This will lead to much more efficiency and ultimately site success.

Absolutely fantastic Jay. Thank you. I'm printing the whole tutorial to keep by my side. I just reviewed the recording of the Friday WAbinar and loved it. Been ruminating on a project for a while, thinking it through. Your tutorial is helping a great deal.
