Sign up now! Set your daily budget to $4 and cancel the service on the day which you''ve already spent $21. How hard is this? Not very! Get to it.

No thanks, I want quality results, not a bunch of paid advertisements or irrelevant links.

Adwords look ridiculously expensive. The example on the page has a daily budget of $30 a day, and the minimum is $0.05 a day, which won''t actually do much, and is still over $18 a year. You can get your own domain for less than that.

It's not a replacement for a domain.

And you need to learn about marketing. Let's say you want 100,000 customers. Let's say each customer will earn you revenue of $20 per year.

The last 90,000 customers may arrive at your site from word of mouth. But you need to get those first 10,000. How much would you pay for them? Probably more than the $20 in revenue they produce.

Let's say that you will pay exactly $20 per customer to attract those first 10,000 customers. 5 cents a click is starting to look pretty good.

I could be wrong, but I don''t see anything of Xtremehobo''s that could get him that kind of money. I suppose 5 cents per click would be good if you would make lots of money by getting clicks though.

By the way, I wasn''t saying it had anything to do with domains. I was just pointing that out.
