Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

By now I imagine quite a few people have their websites up and running; let's see them! I'll try to update this first post with all the links as long as possible.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Nice site there. I clicked on one of your ads and it worked. I just set up adsense tonight and did the google search one. Had a friend do a search from her computer and it said that my site violated Google's TOS. Any idea what I did wrong? www.initialstockoffering.com thanks.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Your ads and content overlap making it really hard to read the bottom of your pages, atleast on my screen. Not sure if it is the resolution/browser/something else but you might want to look into it.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Thanks for you input Shoe. I just went downstairs and viewed the site with Internet Explorer on a normal sized laptop/resolution and I didn't see any overlap.

It wasn't your site -- it was the twentiesretirment one where I had problems. Using IE with 1680x1050 on a widescreen.

FYI, I had no problems viewing your site.

If anyone needs help with SEO hit me up with an email. I've done fairly well getting two of my sites in the google index and they are fairly high ranked.

Dunno what Google didn't like, but for me your tables are scrolling off the side of the screen.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

That's strange, it's showing up perfectly in both FF2 and IE for me. Maybe I need to try it on a different monitor instead of my 19"

Not exactly in the project niche but I'm just sticking with the project I started a couple days before.

The project is more about getting everyone to collaborate than specifying strict rules and regulations. I'll be posting my stuff up here at some point as well so everyone can see what I've got and that's not in the money making niche either.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Nice graphics, smooth design.

I take it you're planning to make your money through the actual pill sales rather than advertising?

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Yeah commission based.

Twenties Retirement looks fine on my 12in screen (Inspiron 700m) on both IE and FF. Resolution: 1280x800.

My site: http://www.twoplustwoentrepreneurs.com/

I still have quite a bit of content to add.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Thanks. Based on what a couple of my friends have said, I think the problem may have something to do with the text settings in some people's browsers; still trying to nail it down.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Ahh...it's a CSS problem. Putting it fixed causes a screwup with some text sizes, putting it variable keeps my headers from overlapping...have to figure out how to fix that

Hrmm I think you picked a domain name that is going to cause you legal problems.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

OK guys, I finally got around to registering a domain. I don't have a site in place.
www.howtobuywebsites.net
Over the next couple days I am going to try to install joomla or drupal. I guess joomla is the consensus around here? A stupid squatter got howtobuywebsites.com... Oh well, at least I don't have much competition. I don't know how much these terms are searched however. I think its a decent niche with opportunities to get income through more than just adsense. (buy/sell classifieds)

For now lets all just get sites up and going. That will probably take some time. Once you feel you have a decent Rev. 1.0 site and are ready for promotion, email me the URL. Use the subject "Here's my site". I'll start putting the more complete people in touch with each other for joint promotion. I'll send an email saying the same soon...

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

hey guys.
sorry i'm kinda hopping on the bandwagon a little late. I've been looking into making money online for a while now and have a bunch of good ideas. I decided that the one i want to start with first is a forum much like 2+2 except discussing money making... everything from scalping tickets to 401ks and anything else that could do with money.

i managed to grab the domains doughtalk.com and talkdough.com along with their .net cousins.

what do you guys think of these names?

I have a limited knowledge of building websites but i'm very computer saavy so i can learn quickly.

do you guys have any recommendations about how to go about building this forum site. (i'm on a limited budget so free things are my friends [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Once i have it built i'll obviously be using adsense and probably a banner ad on each page that is relevant to it so under investing maybe an ad for etrade or something.

what free threads software do you recommend / any other ideas or recommendations.

finally for you SEO gurus...what are some good ways to market a forum site. should i bother with overture and adwords or should i just work on natural hits from pure seo?

thank you all for your advice and best of luck with your sites!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is a really poor niche to start in because its so hyper competitive. You'll find it so much easier in any one of a million or so other niches. But, since you're now even more motivated to make it work and prove me wrong, I'll see what I can do about your other questions.

Not bad, but its more about getting them known than the actual domains themselves. Domains are only ever really bad if you have hyphens in them or two words next to each other where the last letter of word one is the first letter of word two.

In which case I suggest immersing yourself in the wonderful world of the Internet for a week or so until you know what every acronym stands for and can do for you. You don't need to know how to do a lot of stuff to start with, just enough so you know what's out there.

For the forum itself, PHPBB, its free and very powerful.

Adsense really isn't the way to go for making massive profits. Its not bad for residual income but frankly I think other options provide much better earning potential.

Not quite sure what you mean here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Definitely don't bother with adwords until you've played the game for a while. You're just too likely to waste the traffic and suffer click fraud for it to be worthwhile.

Write masses of keyword dense articles related to your niche and surrounding topics and get them submitted to lots of places. Seems to be one of the best ways for generating traffic. Don't forget to setup a related blog and start posting in related forums.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

I appreciate the concern, but cases in which domain name transfers have occurred involved "use in bad faith." I spoke to a few people about this issue. I actually don't have a problem changing names if someone could come up with a better one that describes my site. (Hopefully shorter than mine [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) However, please take a look at the site first.

FYI
c. How to Demonstrate Your Rights to and Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name in Responding to a Complaint. When you receive a complaint, you should refer to Paragraph 5 of the Rules of Procedure in determining how your response should be prepared. Any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate your rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(ii):

(i) before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or

(ii) you (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or

(iii) you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.

W/o ads, it's not even a case. If I decided to use them, then (i) would apply, but the WIPO would serve as mediator in such a circumstance. (I did my HW [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ; It actually gave me an idea for my next niche. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

But like I said, I am open to available domain names. You can send a comment in the contact section of the site.

Nice! That's the second time in this thread I've been surprised at the domains that were available.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Ok, after some research, the niche I picked wasn't really that great so I decided to go with the fastest, easiest route with an account on blogger.

Roth 401k

I think I'm pretty much done for this site and going to pick another niche to work on w/ a domain and CMS.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Hey, I mentioned my site somewhere else, but here is the site I have so far. I used Drupal, phpbb, and a ton of drupal modules so far. I am really trying to work on adding some content now, and I want to get the front page working with some interest rate info, but that will be a bit trickier as I will likely have to write a semi complicated perl script to automate all the rates that I want to track. So the first page is just a placeholder for now. Feel free to signup and login and try and post a book review, or a story or something if you like.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Fellas, I was serious about the help with domain name change. You would be surprised how many people have trouble spelling entrepreneur. And trying to explain that it's "two" and not "2" is a whole different issue. Apparently I should have just chosen "LineWaitingatBestBuyforPS3.com" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

By the was RSS feeds are a great way to add fresh info to your site. From what I read, if you do your site in php, google associates the content from these feeds to your website, which will improve your rank. Unfortunately, I went the MS route and chose html; so I'm using javascript for my feeds.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

I think my site is about done. I did just about everything by trial and error as i had pretty much no idea what I was doing. If anyone can help me, I still need to change some stuff in the upper left hand corner
- I need to change Drupal to the site title
- I need to make it so Drupal and that thing next to it link to the homepage
If anyone can help me with these please do.

My Site is MonetizingYouTube.com

I've got more content to add in the using AdSense section. I will be detailing the each section. Also I will have to apply to AdSense myself soon.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

Having YouTube in the name of your domain could pose a problem. At some point, they may go after you and you'd have to pick another domain name.

Not sure if you've checked out Revver. They've been getting decent amount of press regarding revenue sharing video site.

I'm not gonna worry about having YouTube in the domain name for now, as its owned by google now and I plan on using AdSense. Not sure if this matters or not, but I'm gonna find out.

Also thanks for the revver site - I knew of some similar to that but none of them seemed very good.

dseiko,
Consider not using all the dashes to separate sections of text. It won't look good on lower resolutions. Check out the hr tag or just bold the text heading.

Thanks - I forgot some computer have lower resolution than my smallest one. Checked it out on another computer and it looked pretty bad, changed it to just headings.

Anyone know how to change Drupal in the upper left to something else?

Just looked at your site, and all the sites on it. They all looked pretty good. The fourth one went to a joomla site that wasn't set up yet (REIT). Also I could not get the "How to Buy Websites" site to load.

Back to the project - Does anyone know where we are now? Are we still waiting for people to finish?

I'm in the process of developing a site that will build computers specifically designed for poker players. They'll include an industrial strength hard drive for Pokertracker analysis, quad monitor support, quality powersupply and RAM for stability, etc.

I'm glad you liked it dseiko. I think some people are still working on their sites. That's why Joomla showed up on UncleSalty's site. I'll send out emails to the dead links to find out if they are still participating in the project. I received an email last week from Max. I think he's working on a comprehensive list for us.

Re: Forum Project - Post Your Website Here!
 

My site loads. I just have a default joomla install for it right now. I need to really work on some content. I have just been swamped at my real job lately. ugh...
I have only received about 15-20 emails from people with websites. I was hoping more would be able to join us, but I guess it was too much work. If anyone is having technical difficulties, please email me.

On a side note... If you are using Joomla or Drupal make sure you use the Search Engine friendly option.
