Gada.be Spam.my
I have to credit him with one thing, Chris really knows his search terms. Check out the list of “popular queries” he sticks at the bottom of the page to attract search engines on high-paying keywords:
Affiliate Programs, Airline, Auto Parts, Autos, Bankruptcy, Books, Broadband, Business, Business Cards, Car Hire, Car Insurance, Car Loans, Car Rental, Casino, Chat, Checks, Computers, Conference Calls, Contact Lenses, Cosmetic Surgery, Credit Cards, Credit Score, CRM, Cruises, Data Recovery, Dating, Debt Consolidation, Domain Names, DSL, DVD Rental, E-Commerce, Financial Planning, Flowers, For Sale by Owner, Fun, Gift Baskets, Gifts, Guitar, Health Care, Health Insurance, High Speed Internet, Home Equity Loans, Home Insurance, Hotels, Jewelry, Jobs, Laptops, Laser, Eye Surgery, Lifestyle, Loans, Mortgages, Music, Payday Loans, Personal Finances, Personal Loans, Personals, Poker, Real Estate, Shopping, Singles, Software, Training, Stocks, Student Loans, Travel, Travel Insurance, Used Cars, Vacations, Vitamins, VoIP, Web Design, Web Hosting, and Work from Home
This just confirms the idea that Gada.be, for all its usefulnes, is really a brilliant Adsense scheme. It seems to me that ad placement could be improved, but I also wonder just how much he’s making from it!
I am thinking of doing something similar, but based on tree-themed research. Imagine a prefix-tree of the words of the english language, with cool permanent pages for each word (dictionary, flickr, thesaurus, wiki, etc), and a voting system based on popularity. You could connect “nearby” words with each other based on literally nearby, or popularily nearby. If you restrict the search enough, navigating the tree would not be difficult. Of course, figuring out the right representing to use for the data will be difficult. I’ll need to keep the dictionary in tree form on the disk so that I can walk from node-to-node with disk seeks. However, I probably won’t want to write this and will google around for someone who’s done it already.
