What was the website you used to run, if you don't mind sharing.

It was at the same domain as my now personal site, www.ankitgupta.com

It started with the Pokemon craze, driving about 1k people a day at the max. Sold some items through Amazon for this section.

The thing that got it up, was my idea at the time of a topsite list, which is still used at many sites today with a method where when you click on the little 88x31 button, they get one vote. Sites get ranked on votes. My idea was to rank based on how many people visited the site each day, ontop of that at the site you were visiting with my button, it displayed their rank on the image as well.

I first started it for Pokemon creating competition from the other sites, then it moved onto Coin collecting/selling sites which was the first area my site had basically a monopoly and since my website never made a penny because I had no ads anywhere on my site, it couldn't be considered one. I gave equal opportunity to all other sites, so it wasn't actually a monopoly, more like really harsh competition. Soon I had just about every Coin Collecting site. Then, I started a Beanie Baby site which was also popular at the time grabbing many viewers, as well as categories including Survivor, Big Brother TV show, dragon ballz, card captors, other internet sites, and a few others. Many of those I had no clue what they were such as card captorz, all I know is there were a ton of sites on it and it seemed popular. The other two competing sites shut down eventually and mine was the only one left.

The one problem I ran into was traffic believe it or not. I had too many visitors and being 11 or 12 that I was, I didn't have much money. Everything up till there was paid for by my dad, it will be the best $20 a month he ever spent on me for hosting. Well, the host wanted me to go at least Semi-dedicated, up till then I was doing a virtual server, which was not working for me since the price on one that would work for me was like $280 a month. I could have probably found some other host to do it for $200 a month, but since I didn't have ads it wasn't viable. I actually did try putting some ads, but sadly at the time of this, the dot-com boom was ending and those few advertisers I had shut down soon after. I learned a lot from the site and I think that is what will get me into a good college or land me a job. I have had offers even till today for advertising, but I only let companies I would purchase from or feel good associating with advertise. Right now I don't need the money, but my plan is to start a hardware website for maybe a summer and see how it goes. If it goes good, great, otherwise, I'm happy, this would be started out of my home with advertising from those companies in exchange for reviewing of their products or something of the sort.

So what large companies did you drive out of business?

No offense, but I don't think that this is anything great. If you put this on a resume and said that it was Pokemon related, you may be laughed at. But those were the days...put up a website and get paid for advertising I had one about online games and had high traffic (before online games became as popular as they are today) back when I was in high school and made a decent amount off of it.

I've thought about that and I won't be putting "Pokemon" related. I'll be putting something related to what the market wants because like I said, I had categories of things I didn't know about even to this day, I mean, "card captorz?"

Well Anand was only 15 when Anandtech started.

Please, don't insult Anand by comparing him to this loser.

The day you can show me a website you made when you were 11 with 10k people a day is the day I apologize to you.

How about you show us the website you made when you were 11 with 10,000 visitors a day (we'll need stats to back that up too).

Its not alive anymore, if it was Iw ould be very fortunate to have survived the market. I'll try digging around some old archives, but that was like 4 yea4s ago so I dought I can find them, even if I do, I'd have to setup a site to show them, which is too much of a pain considering all the scripts it used.

You bring that stupid Pokemon website up way too much. Who really cares? Your target audience was 8 year olds. You go big businessman.

There was more to it, read my newest post. Topsites. A company wants profit, it doesn't give a crap about how or who, as long as it brings people in, they're happy.

Yeah, as you clearly stated, you made no profit (actually lost money... your dad's at least).

pokemon LMFAO

 

[PowerMac4Ever]

LOL, the big badass web site you were talking about all along was that PokeMon pos? OMGLOL!!!

PH33R teh PokeMon mastar!

So let me guess, the two large companies you "ran out of business" were other PokeMon sites, right? No need to answer, you were caught lying before. Oh, and I bet the CEO of the major corporation was the guy who ran "hotteenslutz.com" and wanted you to put his banner on your site for $0.01/click. Sweet....

I think we got a Wharton or Kellogg MBA in the making!!

Wait...hang on a second...

I'll tell you about the team of programmers in Germany that did some work for my site

I thought YOU were the one who did all the work?

Oh yeah, this was a site that drove two professional companies out of business because of competition.

Competition? What kind of 'professional companies' did you drive out of business with a little pokemon website?

What did they do wrong? They relied by far too much of hand work. What did my site do differently? The scripts handled just about everything, which made my life very simple.

And how, pray tell, did you using scripts manage to 'drive these companies out of business' because they didn't?

Oh, and the day YOU can show ME a website that you made at age 11 with 10k hits a day that drove 2 professional companies out of business is the day I apologize to you. I'm sure we would all love to see it.

Yeah, as you clearly stated, you made no profit (actually lost money... your dad's at least).

But look at what all it lead me to and the knowledge I gained. I now use Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and other tools all efficiently. I've learned many things worth far more than the money spent on hosting it. If my dad hadn't done that, I'd be an average person with little to no history compared to 90% of people.

i have a couple of friends who claim that if they graduate with a college degree then they will get paid more, like 60k, and if promoted to a sheriff it might even go into 6 digits, i clal bull, and i also mentioned that its other's opinion, not mine.

[Quixfire]

First off your title is confusing. Investing your own money and getting a return on that investment, ROI, makes profit.

Second, since a job doesn't require any monetary investment on your behalf there isn't any profit gained, just payment for your services, whatever they may be, which is consider income.

If you are looking for a good paying job that require little effort I would look into writing a column for your local paper or website, since you are so good at it here.

If you are looking to start a business with a high ROI potential I will tell you when you are eighteen.

Ok, I apologize for the error. I didn't make it ALL. I had help, but majority of it was me. If I can arrange for all that, would a company care how I got it done? Also, many people can learn 10 textbooks in a semester and have it memorized, but its the application that counts. So friggin what is a person learns assembler? If they have no use, it doesn't matter.

These were companies that would have taken out loans of probably 20k - 30k and worked from that with a company of a few people.

First, with my scripts, it took less time to do things. For example, I had one configuration file for all the topsite lists, cut work to like 1/10 in that area. All the pages were dynamic so I hardly had to upload. I had a team of news posters like AT's front page headlines who posted news. And I guess you won't be able to apologize because I can't really bring back up a site like that in a few minutes.

Sure, but like I said, its the ones that can apply it and make something out of it that have used it. Anyone can spend all day and night learning text book material, but how many can go out and use it to an extent such as what I did?

 

[PowerMac4Ever]

I personally would pay $50,000 for the baddest-ass PokeMon "topsitez" site, that's for sure!

hey, if your story is true then that's great, but i can't help but feel a whole lot of bragging from you, you may be as smart as you say you are, but whenever i do meet "prodigies" i get soo annoyed by how big headed some of these people are. "oh my goodness, i got an A in that class, A+ is what i deserve." yes, maybe you had to mention these things to us to prove a point, but there was stil a tone of cockiness. In meeting many programming gurus, i've only meet 1 personally that is really polite in real life. Then again, this is the internet, and people tend to be more open to how they really are.

I'd like to see anyone here start a site from scratch and no experience with html, javascript, whatever, except word and some basic frontpage like different colors work on a site within 2 to 3 years with 10k people a day and listed #1 to #3 on search results. Oh yeah, 10k unique IP's, not hits or whatever it may be counted as. Oh, and no advertisers either until the server bill is over $200.

Actually, it's not something someone would have paid for ever. Do you know what's the easiest thing in the world? Breathing. The second easiest would be making a web site targeted at 7-9 year old kids. Congratulations!

You learned how to be an arrogant prick and a liar? You got ripped off, guy.

If you ever meet me in real life, you will see I rarely brag. The thing that ticks me off is when people say things about me without knowing me. I wouldn't consider myself a "prodigy" at all, just look at my grades, they're all A's and B's, not by any means what a prodigy would get. The website was during the dot-com boom and at that time in the market it was all about the best ideas and good presentation. I understand your point of view, but without those points I made... well, now that I'm thinking about it, I should have just ignored what he said and moved on. Comments like yours are what make me rethink what I've said and now I feel like I should have just ignored it because I was only setting myself up for argument...
