   If it's a desktop app and the crawling is not centralized, I doubt they'd be able to do much about it. Lot of crawl-heavy SEO tools work this way.

   Searching for flights using rewards miles. I think United & American used to have APIs that were shut down, so you'd need to scrape account data and flights. It would work best as a desktop app. Other airlines have APIs, but not su

   Have you considered rolling out your own? I.E. contact companies that would be a good fit for your website, work to build ads with them, and charge them a premium for a highly relevant audience? I'll be attempting this in the next 6 mo

   Ads are still key. They make money mainly on ads, based on keyword only (no tracking, ensuring privacy) and affiliate links as mentioned by another commenter.

    Almost the exact same timeline. I 'deleted' my account in 2010. My wife showed me my activated profile earlier this year. I logged in again and re-deleted it. But I somehow doubt it's actually gone.

    A) the question asks specifically how to find a "side project" idea, not necessarily a full fledged business all though it could turn into one. B) The whole point of being involved in a specific community (e.g. fantasy books writt

    Be naturally and deeply engaged in a community. This could be anything that you naturally find interesting - books, art, armadillos, roofing etc. Engage with other people that also find this topic interesting. It'll take several months

    Phantom still gets blocked, as it reveals itself in the header. I've had success with a headless Chrome instance in a virtual display (xvfb) driven with Selenium, backed by Postgres. It's as close you can get to scripting a real b
