I know this is the newb forum, but dude, take a step back for a second. What you're trying to do is dumpster dive behind a McDonalds and resell the rotten hamburgers as gourmet sandwiches.
I guess what I'm trying to say is you're not gonna monetize that site quickly, if at all, without some seriously creative strategies aimed at the total losers of the world, which are the only people who would be stupid enough to use it. You're not solving a problem some business or person has, you're simply a low-budget 'example' site.
Your money, your time, none of my business. Just trying to do you a favor and tell you you're 'polishing the brass on the Titanic'.

Wagoneer, One thing you might learn quickly around here is that the best advice comes from the people who are most analytical. And that response he just gave you was pretty damn good actually. I dont think he had chip on his shoulder but rather raised some good points. Points that Im not sure you addressed even in your response. When you ask for reccomendations, you get them.
