    I am brainstorming my next site idea... I have a good idea for an informational site, but I also have a good vendor for a store?? Which have you all found to be more profitable??

    I am in your same position. I have an informational site #1 at MSN for some paintball guns. Only getting about 150 visits a day, but highly targeted. I don't know what to do with it, I'm sure some kind of store would be great, but I don't have the time for it.

    I am using just adsense, and of course it only brings in a few bucks a day.

    Combined I think. I'm up to whether to set up a store providing information or information providing site with a store :confused:

    Per visitor I make way more money from store sites than content sites.

    Any input on which you make more money "per hour of effort" (all effort included). Just share your gut feel.
    Thanks

    Store sites BIG time!! Content sites have one BIG down-side. You have to keep updating them!!! Imagin that!!! :D With store sites you can just let them sit around making money with you not having to do any more work! Amazon AWS stores for example, I've spent maybe 24 hours making or updating my stores and they have made about $20,908.49, or almost $1,000 per hour of work. (Now they make about $750 a quarter due to all the competition.)
