I would 1) Make the pages editable by trusted individuals but with your validation before any change goes live. Allow the authors to be credited (with links to their blogs, pages etc etc). 2) Why stop at cars? Find a domain "howdoesa???work" and subdir it off that - offer written credit to anybody who wants to add any large-ish content. 3) Put in some clever links to amazon etc so that if someone wants to buy a new c…
I'd welcome any suggestions on where to go next - it's a bit of a fire-and-forget side project, but I'd still like to get it as good as possible before I leave it to stew for 2013.
"I can only imagine that going up as Google starts to recognise this as quality content and not just content farm rubbish." Uh, no. It will go up as a function of traffic volume, so as your site starts to rank higher organically you'll see more revenue but the amount paid isn't a function of the 'quality' of the web site, its a function of what people bid to be there and what they pay per click. Note that if it goes…

You missed a sheet reference on this page: http://www.howacarworks.com/articles/lubricating-hinges-peda...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
>approach Haynes pitching the idea and showing this as an example? This is the correct answer. At least try and get a friend to do it, and take a cut. The idea of being able to flick through all the haynes manuals on an ipad is brilliant. And I don't even like cars.
Question to motorheads: Would you use a shop manual exclusively on an ( your ) ipad? Or would you prefer to have a paper copy, so that you don't get your ipad greasy and scratched while you're working on a car? Question to everyone: when are we going to have devices that are cheap and rugged enough that my first question doesn't matter? Edit: If that ever happens, they won't be sold by Apple, the company that made un…

I'd take your first few $15 and reinvest it by getting someone on oDesk to go through and fix stuff.
* First section I looked at was 'Brakes'. First article is about the windscreen washer. Then there's two articles called "Adjusting the Brakes /1" and "... /2". Why two?
* In the first there's one massive unreadable paragraph. In the second there's paragraph-length titles.
* I'd also look at getting your oDeskers to put the images in interesting places within the text.
At the moment it feels like an OCR dump of a book rather than the amazingly useful website it could be (and thus it feels like an SEO AdSense site).

The way I read it, the OP was not saying that his AdSense payments would increase because he got higher bids for the ads due to higher quality content, but rather that as Google started to recognize that it was quality content, the PageRank of his site would go up, display it more prominently and generating more views and uniques.
I could be mistaken, but that interpretation seems to make a fair amount of logical sense.
