Hi to all, I have a 3 digit domain, and it is nonsense. (.net) I also have a server to use it 4-5 Gb disk, monthly 50 Gb bandwith etc. I would like to make it a page that makes money from adsense. 100-150 USD per month.. I would like to do it free, I mean I wont buy articles or pictures. What would be your recommendations for this site? What should I do? Any idea will be appreciated, and if those ideas were tested by you, more appreciated. Shortly, just tell me what to do and I will do the common recommendation comes from you here. Thanks a lot...
First, expecting that kind of revenue from a newly developed site is not really realistic. It takes more time to generate traffic. However, one of the best ways to quickly go live is to use joomla or wordpress and produce a minisite. Then add to it regularly and start building links. You don't have to buy articles---get them from article directories--better yet, write your own.
My vote: Start a blog over a topic you are passionate about. If you're new to blogging, don't expect much too quickly. If you're experienced, you shouldn't have trouble achieving your goals.

So you say blog, what about a file upload or picture upload or tinyurl style smt... These projects dead?
I'd just say they're over saturated as it is. Unless you have something new to offer, what is going to attract new visitors? Repeated, and regurgitated ideas do not add value to the web. If your site lacks value, you have very little chance of being successful with it. Blogging is just my suggestion. You still have to be original with a blog, and add valuable content to it. This is something I'm good with, and I know works well for my style and type of work.
