Once I have the traffic then I'll implement all the other features, I don't want to give too much details away just yet  |
I've been doing my research and it would seem that the next wave in which there will be a considerable amount of cash to be made will be in "local search"
We have already seen google and yahoo roll out their local search technologies and its quoted to be worth over $1.3 billion in 2006, this will only increase as more local businesses see the power of the internet and how it can benifit their business.
So there is a lot of potential to make money from local advertising, as each year goes by this sector will continue to grow so its a great area to invest in imo so a lot of money can potentially be made from "local" type sites and there is massive room for growth so thats how I plan on making a very nice amount of money from this local website without having to charge users or sacrifice user functionality
