What site to make?

    What would be a good site to create? Something that I can update normally, be able to optimize it good for Google and other search engines, and put some ads on to make some money? I already thought of making a blog, but I wouldn't really know what to blog about, and I am pretty sure nobody cares about my life so... what do you suggest?

    Start up a blog, but don't write about your life, write about what you like... Whatever that may be... biking, technology, TV's, football, card playing, whatever! But if you don't feel like you could update it at least a few times a week you might want to settle with a forum. Boards like PhpBB3 are highly effective in both being free and having various options. And with easy implementation on Google Ads, if you start up a good forum, you'll make some money while enjoying it.

    My whole goal of my website was satisfy what I love, technology and writing. My only intention with money was to make enough to pay for servers but in the first 6 months, I've already made enough!

    Forums are very hard to get big. Unless you do something very unique it is like impossible. I used to own a few. I guess I can do a blog and write about technology.

    You need to take a subject where you are interested in.
    If you don't know, then it is better not to create a site.

    Well, I like the internet and a lot of webmaster related stuff. As I am and have been one myself for quiet a while I know a lot about the subject. Would a blog about this be good? I know there are plenty of similar blogs out there already...

    I agree with sudeesh009. Celebrity sites are the new "in" online. People LOVE going to sites and reading about gossip for free! They're kind of hard to maintain as celebs are doing stupid things 24/7, but if you have a friend or found a partner to split revenue with, it has great potential.

    Blog or whatever~~content~~

    You can make money by telling people how to make money~~(some one said it)

    I think people would like to read blog articles...

    Try to make your site content rich and put moderate Ads or they might hate it.

    personal finance sites always seem to do well, but I agree with other comments paid in this thread, stick to something you enjoy writing about, remember you could be doing it for many years!

    first of all, i suggest you make a blog, it's the easyest to manage and you can find a lot of templates for it.
    Next, about the topic...well pick something you know stuff about and which is at the same time appealing to the public.

    make a site that gives information on what people would normally look for online, something not accessable enough out in the real world. Just think of services and information you need to pay top dollars in the real world when in the internet it comes free. once you know this information you will know you have hit a gold mine.

    here's a few I tried when I was starting out

    1. relationships and dating

    2. money advices

    3. cooking

    4. law and home mortgage advices


    these babies alone have got me racking in good moolahs for the start up of my campaign way back in 2005, after a year or so I was able to established an outsourcing small type of business with so many niches that Yahoo homepage could be a clutter when combined

    I can't exactly share scripts if I don't have the rights too. Most scripts don't give you those rights.

    Some kinds of blogs, such as celebrity blogs, will get more views that others but don't base it off that. Base it off what you love, you'll then find it much easier to enjoy your site and want to make it better.
