"Nope Shane, its pretty much always about money. I don't know how many thousands of dollars this guy spent to get his just started, bare bones website to come up #1 in search for Google, but I can guarantee you its not cheap! Or every single site would be trying it. Think it through: why spend that much money unless you are hoping to reap in the profits that the old website made???"
I would have responded to this gentleman on that forum, but found that the THREAD WAS LOCKED (AGAIN)! I don't know why folks there are putting up with that crap.
I will tell you exactly how much has been spent on this forum to this point in time. Software: $0. My time to set it up: about 5 hours so far. I am willing to spend more time to enhance it if we get enough interest (users) to warrant it. Google AdWords: $4.13 (about 60 clicks at about $.07 per click) -- that's why the ad is at the top of the page. Total cost so far $4.13.
This site is NOT ABOUT MONEY. No profit will be made here.
READ MY LIPS: I WAS A MEMBER OF THE ZX14NINJA FORUM AND I MISS IT. IF THE FOLKS WHO WERE THERE WANT TO START A NEW FORUM, THIS ONE IS AVAILABLE. THREADS WILL NOT BE LOCKED. MESSAGES WILL NOT BE DELETED. MEMBERS WILL NOT BE BANNED. THE SITE WILL NEVER GO AWAY. -bg
