Uh.. You are buying the domain & the traffic.. Not the code..

i know you are buying the domain and traffic. But I doubt the traffic is enough to garner adverstising so i can recoup that 60K that i just put in.

You cant do too much with whatismyip.com - at most dynamic hosting at the most.. but that's it.

so i am right by saying you are paying 60k for a few lines of code.

Wouldn't it be smarter for them to get advertisements on there themselves, not just to gain revenu, but also to demonstrate how much revenu can be generated?

Are you retarded? 1.7 million uniques a day is A LOT of users.

There's plenty you could do with that kind of traffic. Hell, I know of web sites that get a 10th of that and make A LOT of money.

so, would the advertising revenue be enough to recoup and profit? how exactly do sites like that make money?

Are you serious?

With advertising on that site you could earn $1,000 a day if you place the ad correctly. Google adsense would work wonders on a site like that.

Nothing compared to what the site would make. It could be hosted for around $100 a month, mainly because it needs its own server.

You know, it might be worth that much to redirect to a site of your own choosing.

but wouldn't the traffic die down, once people realize that the site isnt' what they are looking for?

$1K per day?? $365,000 per year....from ads alone? you could buy the site and just quit working, couldn't you?
