Doesn't Mark Bao miss riding dirt bikes, chasing gals, playing baseball.
Just imagine if that guy had been successful. Americans would have been debt free!!

Exactly. Also, why isn't he trying out with different keywords. Placing all the eggs in a single basket wont get you much. If he diversifies ad campaign across different categories, he will see better results. If he not happy with cost per click mode, he can switch to CPM advertising where ther are lesser chances of fraud.

Re:Oooh - I'd kill for a four day week... on Thursday December 30, 2010 @06:46AM (#2051963)
I spend about 11 hours in office, 5 days a week. So I would rather prefer 4 working days,10 hours each anyway!
I am not sure how long it is going to last. i mean you will run out of friends to write about, Isn't it?
First, do not put ads on your site as it will annoy the users. Rather, take feedback and see what it takes to get more traffic. I guess you can double up your existing infrastructure to handle any surge in traffic. You do not want your users to see your page down due to excessive traffic.

It also proves that Online advertising wont get you much. Creating and selling your own stuff will bring you more bucks.
