    To the person who mentioned clickbank a while back - that looks like THE best way to market an e-book, hands down and then some. Seems much better than commission junction. Just signed up and am busy having a good poke through what they list. Would really, really recommend investor2009...

    She won't be the first weight loss advert I've removed ... I take off dating sites too, and insurance ads. I'm currently getting around 0.3% click through but some days that translates to 20c, some days that is $20 ... CTR is higher on the photographic site but the traffic is lower, but per...

    I know, the click through rate is abysmal. I'd love to know how to get Google to actually serve relevant ads. Google just hands me crap on a plate.

    Oh, and do you already have your domain? If you've only got 1 day to do it, better register it now - and remember that when you point your nameservers at a new host, sometimes it can take up to 48 hours for it all to work correctly. Sometimes you get lucky and it takes 2, but there's no...

    That's what's saving us about now - the photodictionary hasn't been 'discovered' by anyone. Its been around about 3 months now and google only indexed it a few weeks ago. The site is like a wikipedia for people who don't want big words. As to investor2009, I think you don't actually have a...

    Eww. We were running at a constant 9-12G a month for aaaaaaaages but the last few months I've been promoting the sites a bit more and we're now on 17G a month and rising fast. I hope our host remains nice to us ... they're holding up to the extra traffic beautifully but we're still running very...

    Webhostingtalk is great. Its where I got the recommendation for my current host (I was looking for one that wasn't cheap and nasty and was actually reliable after being burnt by a couple of cheap ones). And I really like my current host, been with them a couple years now.

    That site is about $50 a month as well for us (or $5 for US hosting) ... we serve mostly to the US and India, for some reason. Almost none to Australia, which is why I get complaints I can't spell airplane, color and jello. And lets not discuss bell peppers, teeter totters and playground slides...

    The traffic limits tend to be so low its not funny, mainly. Most of them are < 5G a month and nowhere near the 3 billion G you get for $5 overseas. And its rare to see an Australian host for less than $20 a month, although I'm sure they exist. Its been a while since I looked but last time I...

    http://www.imhosted.com/hosting_plans.shtml this one was one of the first hits on google for hosting with templates and shopping cart software. I'm sure there's dozens more but google gave me mostly Australian hits. You do NOT want an Australian host.

    You're looking for a templated kind of host then, not just a regular host. A lot of hosts come with some kind of ecommerce software built into them that you can set up. Most come with something like wordpress built in too. You might want to look into open source software for an online shop...

    You can put paypal on any old website, heaps of wordpress blogs have donate buttons, for example. Why can't you cough up the $50 or so it would cost for a year's hosting and a domain name that is entirely your own? Why do you *need* free?

    Sure, if you don't want your own domain name. Wordpress, blogspot, myspace, all of those social networking ones. And you can get yourdomain.someoneelsesdomain.com in heaps of places too. Domain names cost $9 or so if you want your own though.
