About the project

  • Creation date: 2007
  • Technologies: PHP + HTML

Back in 2007, I created this website to help other webmasters to find the resources and services necessary to create, promote and monetise webpages. I developed it from scratch using PHP, and it was mostly a classified collection of links and explanations.

Story time: even though this site was never as successful as the other ones that I had already created and monetised at the time, it made me won 250 dollars in just one day because of someone who decided to register in Adsense through my link, which was on the website. Funny thing is, had this person managed to make more than 100 dollars in their first month on AdSense, I would have been given a bonus of 5000 dollars (I cannot find information about this outrageous AdSense deal of 2008 to confirm the information, but that's the amount I remember!). Unfortunately, as much as I had my hopes up for a whole month, that never happened.

Eventually, like with every other website, I ended up shutting it down when the profits didn't compensate the server costs anymore.
