The other day I bought a domain on Mesothelioma.
More or less I wanted to test my one page sites with this - and suppliment it with google adsense (which I’ve heard is paying a pretty penny for the clicks). Now of course I know this site will be highly competitive. I bought the domain also because it had expired. So if I don’t get a one page site up - at least I have residual traffic from the previous owner. Very minimal… but what the hell right?
But I do feel like I’ve sold my soul for this one. It isn’t a subject that interests me per sey… but I think if I can try to provide actual links to good sites - and not be “spammy”, the site might actually have a future. I’m not big on those sites that stuff keywords, look like shit, and you just “know” they’re only in it for the Google Ad payouts. I really, really don’t want the site to go in that direction.
So maybe I’m not selling my soul… if I keep my site on the up and up - provide quality content… and useful resources for people who are looking for help dealing with mesothelioma.
Also I’m kind of wanting to test this subject… because I have a sinking suspicion that this boat has already sailed. But from what I’ve researched the term has been very popular in Google for the past 3 years. So who knows? It’s time to test this theory.

Hey, I like the new format for the site. It is very easy on the eyes and easy to follow.
Hey, no one can fault you for trying to make a bit of money. Good luck - hope it provides a little bit for you.

“because I have a sinking suspicion that this boat has already sailed.”
I guess you do have to consider why it’s previous owner let it expire…

I agree with you Civ… perhaps the domain was let go because the time had past for that sort of thing. But I’m willing to give it a shot - and see what happens.

[...] I had placed the domain on Sedo for a while as I contemplated what to do next with it. If you’ve been following along you’ll remember when I felt that I’d sold my soul to the devil for it too… because 90% of sites for this topic are spam/scraper sites. The owners want the money and that’s it. Screw the content - is it relevant? Does it mean anything? Not so much. I figured if I’d bought the site - I should make it worth something to people who had the cancer. [...]
