Exhibit #1 PaidWiki
Paidwiki is a commercial Wiki where the individual wiki pages are bought and then populated by those that own them.
In its infancy, only a few pages have been purchased and of those a couple of BIG names like World Of Warcraft and iPhone are there but everything else seems to be up for grabs.
At $49US a page the pages are half as cheap as its other commerical wiki rival Million Dollar Wiki.
Paidwiki has a two tiered affiliate system where each page sold from an affiliate link pays the owner $23, so three sales and you have made more than your initial purchase back. Add your affiliate sales to the future value of your page and you could be sitting on a nice little nest egg.
I predict that the early adopters will snap up the most desirable names, but the late comers will need to see that average niche product phrases get a nice boost on search engines or they just won't bother forking out the cash.
If the project does not get some "buzz" in the IM world then this may just fizzle.
I think that Dealdotcom can be a goer if it maintains high quality IM merchandise that the IM community will be willing to pay for.

Exhibit #2 DealDotCom
Another start-up DealDotCom act as an IM product affiliate site that allows people to become affiliates of the site and share in the sales by referring them there through links like the above.
Dealdotcom emulates some of the deal-a-day type sites and utilizes the cool-hip-trendy type writing some sites do really well, and some sites do badly. They do insist in their blurb that they will only sell stuff that is a good value deal so keep your eyes on their pages to see what they have up for sale

Internet Marketing is this weird world of truth and half truths, of people selling to people who want to sell to people who want to sell to people...ad infinitum.
This is my blog of the things I see, the things I do and the interesting and weird stuff that other people do.I will be tracking some of my projects and commenting on what I see working and not working, and my opinions on the people, places and products I come across on the way.
I started this blog because on checking my statcounter* stats for a site I have put up I noticed I was getting a HEAP of organic traffic** from Google image search***. That is interesting I say, why are more people coming to me via pictures than they are coming to me via words.
I debated putting the question up in a few places I haunt, but then I went "Nahhhh" I will start my own blog, ramble on a bit about what I have seen, and maybe get people coming back to check out the other stuff I rave on about.
Then these crazy ideas percolated in my head. They are so crazy I am not sure if I want to post them up here yet.
End Bits
* Statcounter - Free website traffic display tool
** Organic Traffic - Comes straight from a search by someone using a search engine
*** Google Image Search - Search for images using the Google search engine
p.s. The title of the blog was inspired by a question asked in an internet marketing forum that was for fairly advanced people. Either the asker was being facetious or they had bought into the whole internet marketing scene without knowing anything...much like we all were once.
