According to this, sydlexia.com is worth $42,945.90.

I have no idea how they come up with that figure, but Syd, if someone shows up offering you $30,000 for the site, hold out for more. You're apparently worth it.

Syd... if you had ads they think you would make:
$58.83 per day!

Per DAY??

Wow, I misread that, thought it said "per month".

Cripes, Syd, get on the money wagon!

Again, I wonder how they determine that...

The hits on the page, obviously.

Hell, if it would help Syd out, I'd even play the "sit around and click on ads for half an hour every day" game. Its annoying, but if it supports a place this good, then what the hell. It's not like I don't spend way to much on the site clicking the refresh button anyway Razz

.

Only corollary: would you kindly not have the ads take the form of pop ups. Thank you.

Syd damnit, we know you don't want to be a sellout but you've put a lot of effort into this site and spent money on it, just take some cash back. No one here cares about a few adds.

Heh, especially when it is worth $22,000 per year.

Holy shit. Syd, fucking do it, that's jsut too much money to pass up (provided that money would actually be on the table for you). Look into it.

I agree that pop-ups are the Devil's scrotum, but a few ads would not be a big deal, and that's significant money towards defraying the cost of the site.

If you don't feel right spending that money on yourself, you could...oh, I dunno, treat the forum members to a party or something. Very Happy

Seriously. Make some money. We don't mind. We want you to.

At least put that shit on the bottom of the page. Nobody reads that.

You know, you can do other things besides ads to get profit off this site.

Become a paid blogger, make people subscribe to articles, sell t shirts and other merchandise, get affiliates, etc...

Wasn't he considering making shirts at one time?

Subscription content kills sites.

The other ideas are good.

I was just throwing out ideas. Besides, if you need ideas just use Google.

I'm telling ya, Syd, if you sell bumper stickers, I'd buy some and place them around town. And I would LOVE to sport a Sydlexia t-shirt.

Posted: Feb 18 2009 03:13 am

Tell ya what Syd. If I make it big, and you sell t-shirts, I pledge here and now that I will wear one in every video from my first album AT LEAST.

Sydlexia.com underwear. For the ladies.
Perfect gift for any occasion! Valentine's Day! Birthday! Mother's Day! Halloween! Arbor Day!

Honestly Syd, I definitely agree with ads and such if you can start pulling in some dough. You've put a lot of effort into this site and you really deserve some kickback. And merch is always good too.

Do it. Just put it on the bottom of each page.

Money = goodness

I need a sydlexia bumpersticker to cover the ruinous strawberry shortcake sticker on my guitar.

As long as the ads are not pop-ups, don't have sound (goddamn those with sound cues are fucking annoying), and aren't ridiculously large, I have no problem with them.

God yes. Ads with sound are the freaking devil. And I second the pop ups too, like I said...

Other than that, go for it Syd. And I would so wear a sydlexia tee shirt. Seriously. Someone with better design skills than me needs to go to one of those make your own tee shirt sites and see what they can do.
