Welcome to this blog

I figured that starting with this blog would be easiest done with a small introduction of its purpose, so, here goes;

In many years of developing enterprise systems for large companies I have researched all sorts of internet initiatives, technologies and techniques. About a year ago I stumbled across the concept of MLM on the internet. Around this concept many websites exist, as well as e-books, specialized software and websites, etc. The only purpose for these initiatives seems to be to make money from the internet with as little money invested as possible...
A lot is promised by these initiatives, most prominently amongst them are making a lot of money from home, and investing very little time and money. In reality this all sounds to good to be true when you are thinking about it with any sanity at all.....but there is a point nonetheless..

Most initiatives will focus on how easy it is to get started in this 'business', and will show their prospected customers dazzling income figures for the near future. Ofcourse, the truth of the matter is (as it has allways been with Multi Level Marketing or MLM techniques) that the people high in the pyramid of these organisations make the real money while the people low in the organisation are doing all the work for them, believing they are at a high position in the organisation themselves.

These initiatives did not really grab me, but soon enough I found that another one had potential I had not thought of before. The idea behind such other initiatives is to create a website for the sole purpose of generating a ton of traffic, leading to a lot of money from advertisements on the website. Simple, clean and true.

After thinking about these 'traffic generators' for a while I decided I would give it a try and see if there was some sort of optimum to be achieved. Mind you, this was not started as a money making machine, more a research project on my personal behalf. Ofcourse, if the experiment succeeds, money will be generated, and I will not wave it away :-) The point is that I set out to invest a lot of time and money into trying to proof to myself that such traffic magnets can be built in ways not seen before.

It is from this line of thought that I started out to build www.rootpages.com
It is my personal shot at generating traffic from all over the world, and I am actively expanding it's possible uses. This weblog is intended to be my diary, outlining my lines of thougt, progress, etc.

I hope you enjoy reading it, and am awaiting any comments on the concepts and ideas behind it.
