I don't. I prefer to create content-type websites that require no up front capital (aside from time and hosting coosts) or "investors" and build quality backlinks, focus on SEO, and continue the process until I have 5-10 good websites. From there, the money slowly comes in month after month.

Everyone is always interested in "which site? which startup?", but quite a few people wish to remain anonymous.

If he doesn't mention it and its not in his profile, he probably doesn't want to say. (sorry if I am answering incorrectly for rob)

That's a great point. I bet there are 100 people in the "get sort of rich, slowly" category for every 1 internet millionaire.

That thought had crossed my mind, but I figure he can choose to not answer if he doesn't want to.
