Stupidly clever formula to do money on April fools day (realized this 6 months after)

    Here's the thing I do:

    1) Figure out something stupid for April fools joke (something tech related)
    - create a video and put it youtube
    - register a domain
    - get to Techcrunch (send them "tip" about your prank)

    2) Wait for 3 months (or 6 or whatever). Your page rank will increase and some people will link to your site... and whatnot.

    3) Go to link sales forum and do a search for "WTB"

    4) Sell links to your site.

    Kind of stupid of me not to realize this sooner, but I just got it that my PR3 techcrunch featured prank site is actually worth $$$. Yammy.

    Thought to share.
