Default Monetisation Challenge!

For some mad reason I bought The Guillotine and will be shoving it on a server at some point over the next few days

It's quirky etc.,

The problem is monetising it

Any ideas?

Adsense won't really work I don't think (who bids on guillotine related keywords?)

Oh now that is a difficult one.

Maybe advertise some Amazon books or try placing Google adsense on the bottom for a few weeks and see what ads start showing.

Its a nice site anyway.

The Adsense preview tool tells me that it ain't gonna do too well on that front

I was thinking about the amazon stuff alright, but I think the site may need some more content first..

It is nice, but you have to admit - it's damn quirky

If you are into this kind of stuff and know it well you can easily expand the topic (related) to create a large community or your own review about related topics. This way it will grow and sooner or later will cash in.

Question:

Wy does everything have to be about making money?

Doesn't anyone make/run websites for non-commerical reasons anymore?

To run a website, maintain and make sure it runs alright require a lot of time, experience (doesn't come cheap), and some money, so there must a target do to so otherwise the website will run for a while then you loose interest and it goes down the drain.

Put it this way - why the staff working for a "CHARITY" company gets paid, and why all the directors of this "CHARITY" company are always driving "NICE" cars?

The other day I got a phone call from one of this type of company and they wanted me to work for "CHARITY" and they did emphasise this word in our conversation few times, so my answer was NO, NO, NO. I will do it for a fraction of the normal price but nothing is free so ....

Well, call me old fashioned, but I prefered the days pre-Google AdSense. There's something creepy about adverts on people's blogs... (etc.)

I guess I just don't like the way the Internet has just become another money making tool...

I think Internet was always a money making tool, but here in Ireland was only born few years back (5-6 maybe a Little earlier).
