Every Site Should Be Built For A Reason – Even If The Reason Is Only Money
by Matt on , under Blogging, Ramblings
I think it’s important to know the exact reason behind building a website during the design process. This is especially important if you’re building low-quality niche websites that don’t have a purpose other than to serve as Made For Adsense (MFA) pages.
For example I built Jesus Illusion during the summer of 2007 for seemingly no reason at all. My initial intention was to monetize it through Adsense, but due to the risque nature of the content I was unable to do so. In the end, I’m left with a site that’s basically worthless and I’ve no real intention of updating it.
So from now on I’m gonna put a bit more thought into planning the site’s purpose before even registering a domain. I feel quite ashamed at the amount of money I’ve wasted by buying silly names. At one point it was almost an addiction! Nowadays I’m much more restrained. I’ve went full circle and become very conservative about business as the negatives have been outweighing the positives. I’m determined to keep at it though and to maybe even try to post here again a wee bit more regularly!
I’m gonna let all of these domains expire…….Tragic.
I’ve really missed blogging to be honest. I’ve missed all of this stuff! I’ve just been so busy with college it’s unreal!
