Usually I just use the Google keyword tool to see what the market is like. 1. come up with 10 keywords you'd use to look for something like that 2. see how much exact match traffic happens for each keyword 3. see what the average CPC is for

if this was a one time occurrence I might have agreed with you...but 2 rapes within a couple of days? no way. as far as changing opinion, it's just so that reporters would report on wikileaks as "a whistle blower website whose founder is on

He'd be the dumbest criminal in the world to rape someone while everyone is watching his every move. To do it twice within a few days? And to do it to women who both know each other? This just doesn't pass the smell test.

technically it does. if you can't afford $1,000 that means you aren't even making $1,000 a year. If your project only makes you $83/mo...it's just a hobby.

I think $10/mo is fine for domains. Actually I think it should be $20 a month. The small time owners will have no problem paying that. Who doesn't have $20 a month for their blog? Eat one less taco bell meal and you are good to go. And it w
