Hi kreci, so as I understand it, you are basically build a niche content farm? You would buy rewritten articles for $1.75 and then try to push them to Google using seo techniques so Adsense and Amazon aff links will earn more than the expenses are.

I'd like to ask what are the criteria to find out "a niche that has enough search traffic and earning potential." You just compare the numbers with other websites you own?

Very clean, attractive design.

This might almost be worth an "Ask HN" but where does a guy starting a lean blog presence find useful attractive (free? cheap?) images that are topical? You seem to have done really well on that: are they from the manufacturer?

In either case: how do you determine (without long legal chase for just one image-use) willingness of original owner to have their product images used?

This model seems pretty common for content/Adsense-based websites. I've always been somewhat skeptical of the actual ability to produce profit in the long run - how much value are you actually adding to the Internet?

I'm definitely interested to see where it goes and how long it takes to generate reasonable Adsense revenues (e.g. $1+ a day).

My only concern is that this isn't really a true experiment if you post it on HN and market it on your blog. Don't you think these websites (e.g. reddit, HN) could cross-contaminate what you're trying to determine?
