    Lesson Learned on Content Worthiness

    So my wife and I jumped into AM and picked a hot topic to start with at random from a hot topics list. She picked "GM Recall".

    Can More People Be Like Shoemaker?

    Can more people be like Jeremy Shoemaker, or is that all sucked dry now? Next year, I was simply thinking of doing adsense sites based on celebrity worship, and with forums. The trick was going to be in how easy to use, stable, informative, non-annoying, and fun-filled they were going to be...

    Next Year, Content Sites

    Next year I was planning on doing some content sites to draw traffic for AdSense, much like plentyoffish.com does it. I'm a seasoned PHP/MySQL/PostgreSQL developer in a business environment, but don't have a lot of spare cash. I take it that the trick is profit re-investment and to scale this...
