Thought I'd pick up a few bucks with the death of the worlds most famous pedophile but still no dice. I've cut back the campaigns to a very low burn rate until I get some time to iron out the issues with conversion rates. This isn't just for fun anymore, it's personal. That's right Google, it's on now, bitch!
I've begun work on a new site in hopes of picking up some AdScense money. I started by using a soon to expire domain name I had laying around. You can check out a very incomplete working copy at KindleZine.com. (There are only 2 pages right now and neither is complete but I think it demonstrates the concept)
In an effort to keep things low cost I started to get a bit creative. To avoid the need for a server, I'm designing the site to be pure HTML. I'm planning on generating all the pages based on creative commons content. To make things even cheaper still I decided to host the entire thing on a free DropBox account. I plan on using Disqus to enable comments as well as a few other tools to handle social networks etc...
Once I iron out the look and feel of the site I'll write a couple of small apps to handle importing new content, generating pages and building site maps. The plan is to build it large enough and with enough quality SEO to pick up a million or so hits / day, at least that's the plan ;-}
If nothing else I should end up with some pretty decent content for a book "The Internet on $0.04 / Day" ;-}
