    I would say that answer would be the same as to the question: "What is the best job"....

    I think the most important thing is: you should enjoy what you do.... and after that comes secondary aspect: it should bring you money.... More money will make it probably more successfull, but the main thing is .. you have to be dedicated and you can only be dedicated if you enjoy what you do.

    It is all about what you love to do. Usually the jobs that suck (not interesing, boring, etc ) get paid the most

    Exactly. Doing something efficient that gives you an incredible amount of money is good, but if you dread going to work and contemplate suicide every Sunday night, knowing you have to work in the morning for another 5 days, there's a problem. At that point, the business really isn't as successful as it could be.

    Do what you want. If it ends up getting you rich as Gates, all props to you, but make sure you still enjoy it!

    another thought that came up to my mind..

    nobody would mention the most successful online business here.. why would you like to create competition

    I noticed that too!
    Sites i love to work on don't bring me much money, but sites that i hate to work on bring me tons of $$$

    So yeah, i guess life kinda sucks :D
    Conclusion: start a business you really hate

    Travel, gambling and sex are extremely high volume revenue earners

    And business is all about the green you make $$$

    What do you mean by travel sites being profitable? Is it the ones that sell travel or inform the surfer of something travel related?

    I think the best online business nowadays is Google...

    If the question was for start up, you are a little bit late!

    There was an old move one time, a western, about a saloon where everyone bought and sold everything with gold... as a result, there was a lot of gold-dust that settled through the cracks in the floor and accumulated beneath the saloon. Someone figured this out, and tunneled into the saloon from underneath for this "lost gold".

    My point here is most webmasters look at the obvious - porn, pills, casino, beause "there's lots of money to be made", and don't want to do the extra work and find the "hidden treasures". Small niches with less competition.

    My two cents worth...

    The things, applications and practices which are mostly used by people in daily life but having no presence on web could be turned into the most protfitabe business on the web.

    Can you find out something really useful which is not listed on google ? That could be a good business if you understand my point
