    I don't have any of my site except blog but yes I failed many of my clients sites doing all kind of seo experiments. Still success ratio is 90 % . so won't hurt. ;)

    My first site was a huge success, made $1000ish in it's first month. I was pretty shocked since it was basically a free website provided by an affiliate program that I threw up on a domain and did some link building to it. I grew it to about $2500/month before selling it.

    My second website was a complete failure because I couldn't find the right way to monetize it. The site was focused around strange and unusual news/events and it did actually get a fair bit of traffic (500+ uniques/daily after about 2 months of SEO work). But it was hard to find products/ads that worked with it (though I did sell 2 rubber chickens on it somehow lol).

    this is one of my more recent failures...Film Fights

    Cool idea, but just couldn't get enough traffic to it...or find a way to monetize it.

    i guess as long as you learn something there is no such thing as failure.

    I don't really believe in failed websites. When I thing a website fails I often come back to it a few months later and I can figure out what's wrong with it. So, it was me, not the website.

    But in general, not just for websites, I have about 2 failures for every success, maybe 3.

    The big idea in this?

    Fail faster!

    My first site was my biggest success! But then I sold it and couldn't get one as big as it was. Then after that, I had about 5 failures. Then I had a success again, sold it. Now I'm working on a site that really is becoming a success fast.
