Just looking for advice.

The day Steve Jobs mentioned the "digital hub" initiative (pre-ipod) at a stevenote years ago I registered MacDigitalHub.com and with delusions of grandeur, had an idea for a "hub" type website for people who wanted info and news on the uses of Apple hardware and software at a consumer level. IE: using iMovie, iTunes, iDVD, etc.

I made a few mockup websites years ago, but have done nothing with it. Meanwhile, for the fifth year in a row, it is time to re-up on my domain name, and wondering if you guys thought it was worth the money to do so.

Like I said in the "what's your job" thread, I'm a starving artist, so every penny counts. Still tenish bucks aint bad to renew, but it mights still languish if I don't do anything with it.

Anyway. Do you think there is any value in such a domain name? (not looking for mac/pc war, there are 10 or 12 Mac sites that have been around since the dawn of the web, and they must be doing OK if they are still extant.) (of course, many others have vanished, so who knows?)

I'm not spamming or anything but its only $3.69 if you transfer it to registerfly.com . Enter the code CLIENTREWARDS at checkout. It takes a while and can be a pain in the ass if your current registrar wont let it go but you said you were starving not busy lol... If you google TheFlyPaper you will see all the other coupons. If you do get rid of it though you'll never be able to get it again because i'm sure someone on this forum has Whoised it and so it'll be in the blogspam companies queues to buy.

I register with registerfly, and host through vizaweb. Its a pretty good deal.
Keep the domain ... set up a basic web page on it, and populate it with Adsense ads ... it might even pay for itself.

But does adsense really work nowadays? How many ads should be on there to pay for itself? I must be the only dude who pays google to advertise.
hahahahah
