How much would you pay for your own version of ABOUT.COM
 

ie., a very content heavy website that tackles thousands upon thousands of topics? Big money maker using direct ads and also Google Ad Sense?

More background:

About.com, which offers expert advice on topics ranging from personal finance and home repair to consumer electronics and geography, reaches an audience of 22 million unique visitors each month. The Times Co.'s websites, on the other hand, are visited by 13 million users a month

Bought for $410M

thinking of starting one? if so... you're 7 years late :winkwink:

$200? These huge CMS's are all over the place.

What do you have in mind?

Huh? Do CMS software come with loads and loads of unique content? Of your choice. I know of a great way of doing this Gene, I'll send you an email to see what you think and what the total cost could be.

LOL you really think you can make and offer something even 1/1000 as big as about? ....nice joke

As you know, my price is usually low, so hit me up! Content verticals strategies are also featured in a post on my blog http://justtraffic.blogspot.com

Keep laughing, bro. And I'll keep working and innovating.

It only takes one penny in a jar to be on your way to a million dollars.

Id spend around 10 bucks, hahaha

crazy they have such a big adience .. when i see the about.com logo i mostly all the time close the window immidiatly

but to stay on topic .. since its a huge money maker..
more then i can afford..

and for the guy saying youre 7 yr's to late... i think is kind of right..
atleast if you are going to make another about.com clone;.

maybe it would be something nice if you have the content people are really looking for instead of what some prehistoric search function found :upsidedow

I got your email, Jon. Hit me up on ICQ and let's explore what's possible re maximizing coverage/SE presence with lowest amount of cost/labor

You really think you can do it? ...gezzz

Even if you (tried) copy all the content from their sites you wouldn't be able to do it

I just typed in www.about.com in my browser for the 1st time in my life, never heard of them before.

I have project going on with a slightly different concept.

Have to run now, but Will ICQ you monday morning from the office to talk about it.

About 20 $ ha ha :thumbsup
