    very funny idea, easy to get viral. Does it make sense just buying a domain name , putting adsense on it and make it run its course ?

    You can only do that if the domain has exisitng traffic.

    i have a better idea... sell me your idea ;) i'm ready to buy it for 10$, deal?

    now, kidding put aside, what is the price of a domain name? it's, what, free, a few $.

    so give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
    still ready to buy your idea though :D

    It's a nice idea but you'll probably not be around to enjoy your earnings - you'll have died of old age before you reach the $100 payout limit!

    Maybe if there's keyword(s) in the domain name, people may stumble upon it from the search engine OR you can take a commonly mispelt word to some popular site and catching those visitors... but that may be kind of risky

    Make sure you have enough content on the site so that it isn't against google's TOS...

    And correct me if I'm mistaken, but don't hundreds of these sites exist already? You know those annoying search engine pages you get when you are looking for a real site?

    hey guys, don't you think what jdeeze meant was, i have a funny idea, a viral idea, do you think i should set up a website with a new domain with my funny viral thing on it, and let it go?

    i don't think he meant just putting adsense and nothing else on a site, this has nothing funny nor viral in it, plus it is totally useless and dumb.

    he must have meant, putting the funny idea and adsense on the website. at least that's how i understood it.

    Where else could you try out an idea for so few $ :) Even better, if it doesn't work you just let it go. None of this business of having to pay to keep trying.

    it's against the google adsense TOS to make sites only for adsense... add some related content.
