    For money of course. But i have gotten so fun out of it. I like learning new stuff. I love programming. So, this is a win-win situation for me.

    Yes, I also started my kids site for fun and within a few months I relaized the potential of the same when advertisers contacted me and asked for ad space. Now it is mix of both ie fun and money :)

    I start sites for fun, and when they start making money, they are even more fun :)

    I started by first website 5 years ago. The main reason was to learn html, webdesign. With the time, I changed the website to php and mysql.

    Until the last February, the website was hosted in free services and with no registered domain (only a free forwarder domain). Then, I payed for a hosting service and registered my own domain. I also added adsense with the objectiv to cover the expenses only...but with the time the objective has been reached. No I make money. :)
