Always hunting
It's always a defeatist move for me to try and pass on knowledge that certain giant companies dont want me to spout on about, between all my SEO and entrpreneurial habits something kind of amazing has happened. I launched 3 websites in about as many days and they all already indexed and recieving traffic from certain big search engines and each making about a buck a day
A buck a day aint much
But to put it into perspective these are not like the rest of the sites I have developed over the last year, which honestly do make a lot more money from Adsense and YPN, but require a lot of maintenence. These are essentially static sites that will never be updated.
Granted that may mean the cashflow from them may be short-lived, but the reality is this; If I launch a site a day that makes .50/day for a year... well in 365 days thats
365 x 0.50 = 182.50
365 x 182.50 = $66,612.50/yr
Now take out the expense of domains
365 x 9.20 = $3358.00/yr
The sites in question are
And without giving away too much on this, I will tell you this, I am using my own ASP.NET URL reqriting code to test the impact of changing all my aspx extensions to shtml extensions on some of my sites.
Whatever it is it seems to be working out really, really well.
Also be on the look out for www.isbnbox.com and www.upcbox.com which will follow similar structures and open up the doors to more lucrative affiliate sales
Another thing I have been looking at is to compete with the likes of FreeAfterRebate.info, the site is basically just a collection of feeds, but you go look up "Free After Rebate" in Google and you can see it's clearly getting lots of love from them. Kevin Savitz owns it and I have ben watching his Savitz Publishing very closely for a while now. I think it's an overlooked and undertargeted business model. Not spam or splogs, but just doing it one better than the guy at the top of the list.
upcbox and isbnbox will be directly target the traffic upcdatabase.com is getting from Google now
What are you getting at Joe?
I guess the point is, that it's not all just problogger and wordpress templates and constant blogging.... there are a lot more ways to make money out there for us web geeks than people let on. And as all those old dinosaur spam sites and domain horders begin falling off, we can basically do the same thing with a new CSS, SEO, Web 2.0 twist... think about it
