ONLINE SITE OF THE WEEK: THEBIGWORDPROJECT
Some may say that this is proof that anyone can make money on the internet. And I. . .would agree. The Big Word Project allows users to buy a word (literally) with the purpose of linking that word to the user’s site. I decided to test this idea out typing in marauder of course. While marauder was taken, marauders was available at the sweet price of &9 ($1 per letter).
3,080 words have been ‘re-defined’ thus far. Using my dear friend’s estimation of 6 letters per word in the English language (I tried Googling this to no avail), that amounts to $18,400 before removing operating cost (which I imagine to be quite small in their case). Not a bad way to earn a couple extra thousand dollars.

I came across with another site doing the same thing, http://www.linkinword.com, I like their design better.
