            VOIP, very nice, very nice. If you offer "instant call center" services, I might be interested in becoming a reseller of yours. ICQ me if interested.

                  Software?

                  You don't have to mention what it is, please don't, but I'd like to know if it's software or a service?
                  I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                  Webair, bitches.

                    I think he meant "Ringtones"

                          Service...surfer just enters their phone number into the web page, submits, confirms and that's $10 in my pocket.

                                        Lead based services, its quite wide and varied but let's say it involves collecting emails, phone numbers and zipcodes.

                                          Wouldn't happen to be for a dating service, would it?

                                          Areas I've got:

                                          Dating
                                          Golf
                                          Flowers
                                          Religion
                                          And about 200 targeted through arbitrage.

                                            I do dating sites as well, but that's not considered mainstream for me. Mind me asking how you're monitizing religion? Selling bibles?? LOL

                                                  Where are you getting $10 per ringtone?

                                                      Lot of different ways. Those bible thumpers spend like crazy.

                                                      Dating - both Christian and Jewish dating are pretty big. I had some pretty good rankings for both as well as pushing good PPC traffic on a geo level to these sites. eHarmony and JDate have some real good affiliate programs.

                                                      Music - am running a lot of PPC through to Christian music sites and stores that carried it. Also had a Christian music lyric site for awhile that did well but sold it.

                                                      Misc. - have tinkered with other stuff like clothing and books. It's kind of hit or miss with them but you can usually pick up on some stuff that will do real well.

                                                      I also have a site going up in the coming month that is a database of all the churches in the US. Fully crawlable of course. With an overture feed running through a lot of that stuff, you can cherry pick some of the high priced terms.

                                                      It seems like a loser industry to go after, but their isn't a large amount of competition compared to others and the conversion rates are surprisingly high.

                                                                              I also have a site going up in the coming month that is a database of all the churches in the US. Fully crawlable of course. With an overture feed running through a lot of that stuff, you can cherry pick some of the high priced terms.
                                                                              hello, did u sell the lyrics site because of the National Music Publishers' Association recent anouncment?

                                                                              2nd, i have been wanting to complile a massive searchable db for two subjects that interest me but have been putting off this incredibly daunting task. (it doesn't involve churches) but tell me, is there an easier way to generate a list of churches across the country than using superpages?
