Sometimes my sites are ugly - (this one surely ain't winning any design awards). Sometimes my grammar is bad. I only use the spellcheck when I remember.

That site stinks beyond believe. It's trying to sell "make money with no work" to lazy ppl. I believe i'll be spell checking, proofreeding, and re-proofreeding my sites. I think i'll send out newsletters and update my sites on a regular basis too.

I'll do a guide to setting up an e-commerce site on a shoestring budget. It may take me longer than some to get content because I'll actually be doing the e-commerce site concurrently with this site.

I love it. Making a site about what we are all doing.

From what i've seen, i'd like to suggest creating 2 broad catagories for organization and link sharing: making money through investment and making money through running a business.

My site will be 'A guide to saving money while moving to Spain'.
This will predominantly target the UK market, where moving to Spain is fairly commonplace.

I'm not sure if this subject matter is a little too specific.

nice. i'm surprised that many people aren't targeting specific localities more actually especially if they live in the same area. aside from marketing online they'll have chances to market out on the streets as well and by interacting face to face with his target market.

Okay, I couldn't come up with anything truly great, but I'm thinking I'll do stock investing for lazy people, focusing on DRIPs and index funds. My other idea was to review stock offerings in nanotechnology, but that idea seemed a little saturated when I poked around the web for a while.

If we decided to do two topics - Money and Health - I'd be up for that; I have ideas in both areas.

Here's a total change-up from my first idea:

Careers for people over age 50.
The Pagerank for the first five listings is 5, but after that it drops off fast. So I should be able to get on the first page.

I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of publishing a series of guides to particular careers, like "How to finance your resort retirement by establishing a new career in real estate."

how do you check a site's "pagerank"?
