    Does around 100 uniques a day. Dec 8 through Dec 15 I was changing database servers, so those numbers are off.

    AdSense revenue this month: $5.41
    All Time (10/10/04 - 12/16/05): $55.93

    The opportunity here I think, and one I don't have time to follow through on, is selling text links on the home page. Functionality is built in for a What's Hot table that would appear next to the What's New table. It would need modification, as right now it displays the top XX (you set it) based on click throughs. I altered this script to do away with click tracking so as to provide direct links. It wouldn't be too hard to set up the table to show ads you've tagged to be show in the DB.

    It gets anytwhere from 50 - 150 submissions as day. I probably approve about 10. I don't approve anymore credit, loan, weight loss, gambling, pharmacy, etc, so that's about half right there. 99% of the time I don't approve any link that suggests a new category becasue there are enough categories in thare now and usually any new one is suggested because the submitter was too lazy to find the right one.

    All you PHPers: this site is developed in ASP and runs off an Access database. The whole thing could be packaged up and deployed on another server, or we could switch the account where it's at (www.hostek.com) I think I pay $9.95 a month for hosting.

    The stats reporting software runs off a SQL Server that IS NOT co-located IS NOT included. If you have a SQL server somewhere I will give you the data and help you set up on the new server. It's an older, fre version of MetaTraffic.

    Anyone who is interested in this and wants to take it to the next level needs to know how to program ASP or be willing to hire someone who can!

    BIN: $500
    Starting bid: $100
    I'll take bids until 8:00 Monday.

    daredashi-

    It's an existing script that I modified.

    Yes, it will run on SQL Sever - import the data, change the connection string, and you'll be set. I originally had it running off SQL Server, but since the server was not co-located with the site, the response times where too slow.

    $180 the high bid
