I have a joke site I just purchased on eBay.com It is developed as far as the layout goes, I am going to start uploading jokes and stuff on the site. I know most of my html codes, I got a good idea about adsense and affiliates (eBay/Amazon). WHAT I NEED TO KNOW: How can I make a forum on my site? How can I get a IP tracker? How can I make it so that members can message each other? How can I make a form where when you hit submit it is emailed to me? ( I think thats when you download a program and it picks up the values though) How can I get a lot of real traffic? How can I make a lot from adsense? What should I do/where shall I place the ads on my pages to make the best possible result. Also can I get a list of what the adsense words mean like conversion, impression, etc. Thanks... Take a look at the site: www.jokewarehouse.org what do you think I should do to make it more attractive? What would my domain be appraised at? sorry its www.jokeswarehouse.org
When you bought it, did a jokes database come with it? Also curious about price paid, as I have seen a lot of these sites sell for more than they are really worth.
I got it for $19 USD which converted to almost $21 CAN. As far as a database goes, I am going to go out and get the jokes myself (Taking thousands from the internet and using joke books I borrow from the library) I just bought it, but I was really hoping to buy a template website or a ebook site, but I want one fully established with the free hosting. The joke site comes with: The complete ownership to the domain name jokeswarehouse.org Hosting Provided FREE for a period of 2 Years Complete ownership of jokeswarehouse.org, website design, graphics, and programming.

I would say scrap that site and start afresh. Joke sites just do not make much at all. You need huge, huge trafic to make it worthwhile. Create a niche site on a topic you have some kbnowledge of and go from there.
Well I am not very good at making sites. I just learned the basics... what I know mostly can be previewed at freewebs.com/clickexperts so that tells you I SUCK! I need to know though, the top 5 types of sites. BTW what is niche? how do i get good? What would you consider "huge traffic" though?Is Search Engine Submission to over 1 Million Search Engines & directories ALOT?
Well you got one joke free and that was the submission to over 1 Million search engines and directories. Thats a hell of alot, especially for the guy that has to do it. (wonder if they're doing it manually? ) Maybe ask them for a list of the 1 Million and proof when your site was submitted? In any case, that still doesn't give you an idea on traffic. Last page listing on 100 Million search engines and directories will yield low to zero traffic. I'd say for $19 you got an ok site as long as you're ok owning the same looking site as the other 2,000 purchasers. Thats ebay templates for you. Good luck with it Jayson Gray
