Project 2168: the beginning

by Sapphire (March 19, 2007)

Last week I mentioned Project 2168, in which I will be building as many new sites as I can along the lines of the low-maintenance sites I have that bring in between $21 and $68 per month in ad sales.  I started on this project over the weekend, and there’s good news:

I can use subdomains for some of these blogs!!!  That didn’t even occur to me until Friday evening.  I double checked (the source of income on these sites) to make sure they count subdomains as separate from the main, like Google does - they do. Since I happen to have some rather useless domains lying around - with existing PR - this means I don’t even have to buy a single domain to get started on this.  And I’m not starting from zero on the traffic or the pagerank, which means I can incorporate TLA a bit sooner than I had expected.

No expense.  Always a good thing.

I found an inexpensive host that has a good reputation, so the domains are locked and ready.  I themed them last night - thank goodness they don’t need much, because I’m tired of theming!

I also had a flash of inspiration and decided to stick AdBrite ads at the top of each entry, but only on the single.php page.   For those of you unfamiliar with WordPress, that means when you look at a main page and see several articles with excerpts, there will be no AdBrite ads.  But when you open up an article to read the rest of it, you’ll see an ad.  That keeps it a little cleaner and faster-loading for visitors, but still gives me a chance at some AdBrite earnings in addition to the TLA.
