Idea to attract attention to the site - Undeadcannibal - 05-18-2005

And possible some money. A few years ago, some friends and I had a plan to make a ROM site, porn-ad free, popup free, and virus free. We did this across like, 10 geocities pages. We actually made some money, and got ranked 26th in the top 30 best ROM sites. We made something lik 80 cents, but we only had one ad, and made 2 cents per IP to click. EVER. That's not terrible all things considered. I can't really get people to come to IT for porn, because that's everywhere, and I can't advertise the forum, because my old forum is full of underage losers (hence why I enjoy IT much more).

Anyway, our ROM site died about 3 months later, because we abandoned it. I think I can revive it, but I could have Leeman handle ads. My plan is a section of the site specifically for ads, categorized. If people love the site,(and I hae friends I can guilt into this) then they will click the links. If they are too young for NSFW ads, they can go the the non-porn ads, and make IT some cash. I am pretty sure I can get this thing going, but I have no clue if anyone at IT cares about ROMs, cracks or any kind of software pirating.

Now, I'm not saying this is the best idea ever, and we should jump on it right away, but if I can set this up right, I can definitely get this thing rolling, and probably make us ten bucks a week with enough ads.

Problem: I do not have a credit card, so I cannot set up ads. This is why I figured I'd have someone else do it. Anyone open to the idea, and wanna give it a go?

I figured I'd just give you access to the site to set up the ads and all. Safer that way.

This idea will never work, because people here only know me for my randomness, they've never seen the enterprising powers of UDC!!

We coulda done it, but they fucked up the template we used, half the site used their template, half used outside coding, so I'd have to just remake it, as I actually have done with my site. undeadcannibal.tk

I haven't touched that since august. I can take off the personal crap, and make it purely for IT. Problem is, I cannot afford the host, and my three years is almost up. So I think you and I could do it from Geocities. I have all the SNES, NES, and Genesis ROMs. I could get some PSX, and upload my Bios.

We could make it so you have to join the site, sign an agreement saying that you cannot take screenshots of the member material, you cannot distribute it, and you cannot use it if you work for a Gaming/software company, they'd also give up all rights to take legal action on us by agreeing to that.

If that works, I could upload my PSX bios (totally illegal) We could get some links to torrents on Pirate's bay (we'll have to credit that site, kicks ass, thanks LEE!!). That way, we'll make more money.

some people do care about certain things in there, anyway I'm not sure that this is such a good idea; old ROMS why not. The rest.... mmh.

I can get every NES and SNES ROM ever emulated, so most definitely old ROMs. The new ROMs were kind of a quick idea.

I'll try getting people into the site by writing insanetrain.com on my ass...all those guys are bound to see it while they are running a train on my ass.
