I like the concept of your WordPress “hacking” as you may call it. I certainly would have difficulty turning some of my ideas into projects from scratch, but using wordpress or other available code for that matter to make my ideas a reality could be interesting.

The site is a pretty useful resource as well, and has made it into my bookmarks. I’m sad to not see things closer to my area however. But great concept, full of practicality!

I can see adsense on there, are you monetising it any other way?
I wouldn’t have thought adsense would perform too well as most of the target audience will be well aware of it and going from my own experiences, I very rarely click conextual ads – could be totally wrong though, wouldnt be the 1st time!

Sadly South Africa is not on the list of countries in your filter. I am most impressed with what you’ve done there with WordPress. Good work guys!

I came here form another post, where you were talking about Think Visibility. Being starved of conferences in South Africa I* am glad to see that this is an international service, and am heading over straight away to have a gander.

Great idea, I think it will be huge. The advertising potential alone is ridiculous!!!!

I wondered why you were twittering with Shannon so often!

Yes WordPress Rocks, and if one factors in what custom development would’ve cost it just makes soooo much more sense. Plus it will not be obsolete in 6 month’s time either….

Al, this post made me think of the fact that I haven’t seen a resource out there that puts together all the IM products that are available (you can argue that ClickBank does this partially) but I think it would be cool it there was a 1-stop place to find info material on things like:

- PPC
- Article Marketing
- Memberships
- Blogging
- Affiliate Marketing
- Adsense
- Info product creating etc.

Not only would that site be able to make money from aff. commissions but it would also be a great resource for people actively looking for a product that would teach them “X”.

Just a thought…

Your conference calendar website has a lot of potential. Personally I think the grey menu on the left is a little too dull. The site will need some pictures or something to liven it up. I’m sure it will become an even better site in time though. Good luck with that.

As for partnering on websites with friends, it really depends on the people and the nature of their relationship. My girlfriend was working on my sites for a while too, but I too had to fire her. It had become a situation that wasn’t healthy for the business or the relationship. If you have a friend with similar drive & motivation, a partnership can be highly profitable and help to strengthen the relationship. You do have to be careful or else money can get in the way of friendship.
