I have a 3 word, computer related domain that used to make about $20 per month parked.

I paid someone on craigslist $75 to write 6 short articles, and put a 6 page website up with adsense on each page. The domain has ZERO links coming into it, but still ranks in the top 10 for this non-competitive 3 word phrase.

In the last 6 months this domain has made $1486 - about $1350 more than it would have if it was parked.

They all don’t work out like this, but if you develop a few sites and one or two of them get these results it will be well worth it.

Tip: Start with non-competitive, long tail terms in high $ keyword niches.

I was checking the share price of Google a few months ago and saw this ad pop up when I typed “goog” into the search box…..pretty clever.

Wonder how much it costs to get your bras on coffee cups.

This is a site I really like - every day they post an old photo with a bit of a story. I’m not a big history buff, but there is something about seeing the way things used to be that intrigues me. I love talking to my Dad about what life was like growing up for him.

Anyway, the author of the blog tells a pretty amazing story about “the worst day of his life”. If you have 10 minutes give it a read.
