What was your first site?

My first site was about 54 members, not many
And someone clicked many on my ads, my account was terminated by bidvertiser and clicksor. And it was down so long though.
It's so sad, but it's true.
Thank you.

Care to share the site URL?

No, some people didn't know how the pay-per-click sites work, they just wanted to click on the ads that they liked, but i think that they clicked too much, or the Internet Speed was so slow, so that they must click many times to view the sites fastly

Sorry, to hear that.

Hey eminem, you interested in selling that site you're thinking about shutting down and if so, what industry does it fall under. I'm not saying I'd buy it for sure, but if you're just going to close it anyway, I'd be interested in taking a look at it and throw out a price.

When I saw this thread in the topic list I just HAD to respond!!!

My first "site" was actually a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) called The Cat's Meow. If you don't know what a BBS is, think old-style AOL, Compuserv, etc., where you had to dial into each service. This was the late 80's so it was pre-Web.

I originally started the BBS as a hobby. After a while, many of my BBS subscribers asked me if I could get them deals on computers, hardware and the like. Not being one to stare a gift-horse in the mouth, I dutifully obtained my business license and began to sell hardware and some software via the BBS. The BBS hobby became TCM Computing.

Long story short, my hobby became a thriving business. For about 5 years, into the early 90s, I was grossing around $250,000 a year running it as a part-time business from the basement of my home. I was also working a full-time job so something had to give. I sold the business in 1993 for a rather tidy profit. But GAWD, do I miss the fun in running a BBS 🙁

The first actual web site I designed was in 1995. I could tell you about that, but then I'd have to kill myself... LOL!!! Let's just say it was "government related".

I love the Web and have designed probably 100 sites in the last 10 years. But if I haven't mentioned it already, I REALLY, REALLY miss the BBS days. d**n good times!
