500 Words a Smash Hit

Posted on June 26, 2006 08:33 PM by Joel Comm

I knew my word cloud advertising page, 500Words.com would get some attention. I had no idea that it would be as big as it is!

In the first 12 hours that the site has officially launched today, more than one-third of the words have been claimed!

Traffic is pouring into the page and I see no end in sight. It may very well sell out its first week.

So what's next?

Well, I've had several offers to buy my custom script. So I am entertaining the notion as I can see this being used in thousands of niche markets....

Can you imagine:

100affiliates.com
300dogs.com
250finewines.com
400cities.com

Where would the list end?

More on this as I make the decision...

In the meantime, better get your word claimed at 500 Words!

    This sort of looks like a copy of 1000wordpage.com.

    Was yours first or was his?

    good job though. You get more press coverage than he does.

    It will never work...as google and other major search engines...do not add or ban site like 500words.com...to be in their indexing database. The site using this link sizzler will never be known unless you publize it like hell...by posting on high traffic sites manually !
