I'm not sure I agree that #9 (BabyCalc / automated baby progress emails) would have been a flop in and of itself; it just sounds like he had a personal reason to fold the business.

BabyCenter.com right now is hugely popular among soon-to-be parents. What's one of the key things that gets parents to sign up in the first place -- almost immediately after they find out they're going to have a baby? Weekly emails detailing the pregnancy's latest progress.

His pic with that 6 figure check from Google Adsense is kinda huge with webmasters. shoemoney is kinda legend among webmasters.

In the circles I run in, he's not well-respected.

why is that, the webmasters i know say he is smart and knows how to make money. I personally don't know much about him.

It depends which webmasters you talk to. If you run around on digitalPoint, people think he's an internet god. If you go to wickedfire, you see a completely different opinion.

I really like the article about the Facebook ads; that website has a lot of good articles!

These were great!

I think we all have a notebook full of these.

Agreed. What was sad/amusing is that I had a similar idea to his #1. Like his #1, it was very original, very funny, and so outrageous that it just might work...It didn't though...As soon as I have a big success I promise to make my own top 10 list of worst ideas...Actually, I'll probably make it a top 20 as narrowing it down to 10 would be hard.

Yeah, some of those gave me deja vu. I hadn't thought about the girls in the Ferrari though, I might pursue that one.

A friend of mine actually was working on something similar for a year(may still be working on it, gotta check in with him).

It's funny, I thought it might work because of its originality. My opinion has changed now.

Does it really take one year to get two topless chicks into a Ferrari? Then again, others work their whole life for it.

I could care less if it works and makes money. It just sounds like a helluva lotta fun!!

Most of these aren't business ideas. They're features.
