I know my first web page ceased to exist a long time ago....

It was one of those freebie "build your own site" things back in '94....


What about the rest of you?

Something I did with FreeWebs.com when I was about 10!

Apart from a terrible mess I put on Geocities when it first opened, my first site was Irishlynx.com It was one of the first Irish directories and became very popular. Gave me a great taste for web development!!

Wow! I'm impressed. Yes. The Guide did do something on it and I have an old copy somewhere. There was also a feature in the Irish Times Educational Suppliment and in PCLive.

Those were the great days when you could write a site and were guaranteed that there weren't hundreds of clones trying to do the same thing. I think Lynx's only big competitor was Doras. Lynx used to get around 15,000 page impressions per week, which wasn't bad for those days [late 90s].

Pity there was no adsense back then

You'd have made a killing!

15000 impressions a week isnt that much. yeah, there was no money in the net around that time, just hype

It would have been quite a lot at the time

A few years back when I was doing Tech Support, I built a few html pages onto our local network. The info was just some common PC fixes with phone numbers etc. After the boss wanted it removed, I fired it up onto 20m hosting so we could still use it, what a nightmare for pop-ups.

Anyway, last year I was sitting in the States bored and came across the login details in my inbox. I decided to look at it and make some changes just to pass some time. I started looking across the net for help on web design etc and discovered the DP forums, found out what SEO and Adsense was about and decided to put every free minute into learning the SEO world.

Now that site has well over 70 pages, pulls in over $50 in Adsense and ranks pretty good for some key terms. I have 2 websites, 3 blogs and getting ready to launch my next project. I also run PPC campaigns on azoogle ads and have just broke even, still new to the landing page game.

Better yet, I have landed a full time SEO job in Dublin but hopefully that will last though as clients can be difficult to deal with at times.

Whats the full time SEO job?? I'd hate to have to deal with clients in SEO, they just want results obviously, and you know how hard it can be sometimes to get sites to rank. Whats your username on DP cormac?
