How to get rich the smart way? Read what some creative people did:

1. Million Dollar Homepage

1000000
pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for
online business anyone could have possible come up with. Still, Alex
Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.

2. SantaMail

Ok,
how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole,
Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for
every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000
letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a
couple million dollars richer. Full Story

3. Doggles

Create
goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, this IS the dumbest idea
for a business. How in the world did they manage to become millionaires
and have shops all over the world with that one? Beyond me.

4. LaserMonks

LaserMonks.com
is a for-profit subsidiary of the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of
Spring Bank, an eight-monk monastery in the hills of Monroe County, 90
miles northwest of Madison. Yeah, real monks refilling your cartridges.
Hallelujah! Their 2005 sales were $2.5 million! Praise the Lord. Full Story

5. AntennaBalls

You
can’t sell antenna ball online. There is no way. And surely it wouldn’t
make you rich. But this is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is
now a millionaire. Full Story

6. FitDeck

Create
a deck of cards featuring exercise routines, and sell it online for
$18.95. Sounds like a disaster idea to me. But former Navy SEAL and
fitness instructor Phil Black reported last year sales of $4.7 million.
Surely beats what military pays.

7. PositivesDating.Com

How
would you like to go on a date with an HIV positive person? Paul Graves
and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would, so they created a
dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2006 sales are
$110,000, and the two hope to have 50,000 members by their two-year
mark.

8. Designer Diaper Bags

Christie
Rein was tired of carrying diapers around in a freezer bag. The
34-year-old mother of three found herself constantly stuffing diapers
for her infant son into freezer bags to keep them from getting
scrunched up in her purse. Rein wanted something that was compact,
sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, she sat down with her husband,
Marcus, who helped her design a custom diaper bag that's big enough to
hold a travel pack of wipes and two to four diapers. With more than
$180,000 in sales for 2005, Christie's company, Diapees & Wipees,
has bags in 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques
across the globe for $14.99.

9. PickyDomains

Hire
another person to think of a cool domain name for you? No way people
would pay for this. Actually, naming domain names for others turned out
a thriving business, especially, when you make the entire process risk
free. PickyDomains currently has a waiting list of people who want to
PAY the service to come up with a snappy memorable domain name.
PickyDomains is expected to hit six figures this year. Full Story

10. Lucky Wishbone Co.

Fake
wishbones. Now, this stupid idea is just destined to flop. Who in the
world needs FAKE PLASTIC wishbones? A lot of people, it turns out. Now
producing 30,000 wishbones daily (they retail for 3 bucks a pop) Ken
Ahroni, the company founder, expects 2006 sales to reach $1 million.

Text Link Ads is sending emails that they have changed their URL
structure and all the affiliates had to change to the new URl, they are
suing tiny URL. I guess this move is because of the Google’s move on
penalizing sites selling text links.

Whatever may be the reason, if you have posted these links inside
some posts its going to be pain to update all those links, because TLA
says in one week the old links become inactive.

To avoid this in future and also to hide your affiliate links from
Google use redirects for all the affiliate links, this way they don’t
look annoying like tinyurl links and you just have to update one link
in future if something like this happens. Personally i don’t like
tinyurl links and i never click those links because you never know
where they will take you.

Here i will show you how can you setup redirects of affiliate links.

1. Using .htaccess

Using .htaccess file you can set redirects quite easily if you are on a linux hosting and using apache server.

For exaple you are going to add a redirect to Text Link Ads referral link, add the below line to your .htaccess

Redirect /tla http://tinyurl.com/3e2xbo

Now replace all your TLA referral links with http://www.yoursite.com/tla

What the above code does is whenever some one clicks on the link
http://www.yoursite.com/tla it redirects to the url
http://tinyurl.com/3e2xbo.

2. Using rederects in webpages

<html>

<head>

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

<title>Text Link Ads</title>

<script>window.location="http://tinyurl.com/3e2xbo";</script>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=http://tinyurl.com/3e2xbo">

</head>

<body>

<p align="center">If the page doesn't reload automatically

Please <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3e2xbo">click here</a>.</p>

</body>

</html>

So your visitors will never see the ugly tinyurl link. Don’t forget to replace all my links to yours if you use this code.
