Hi guys,
I also agree that aiming US, UK traffic to earn via AdSense is not a good plan. AdSense has mixed thoughts among local people. Is it possible to find a person from Sri Lanka who's paid from Google? I have never meet anybody so far from Sri Lanka. However I met some guys in UK who are running blogs with their own contents and earning through ads (But I'm not sure it is AdSense). It could be that they identify the user from the payment address and have a less tendency to pay someone outside developed countries? We need to find someone with a payment proof for sure on this.
You can of cause start working on your plan. But do not invest on it much until you see some success.
I guess only web space from shared hosting would be enough to start with. When more bandwidth/processing speed is required, with some revenue he would be able to move to a high end server.
Okay. First thing we need to do is, we need to find whether Google actually sends payments to Sri Lanka. I can tell you that I earn this much but without proof no one is going to believe me. As you guys were discussing under another topic, there are lots of people who like to teach us how to earn from Google AdSense. I wonder why they need to us to pay $$ to get those tips from them when they earn quite a large amount of $$$ from Google.
Secondly, we need to code it with some unique features which users can find only in our site and then deploy it on a fairly good server and see how it goes.
Since you aim AdSense as your source of revenue, everything depends on finding whether AdSense really pays to Sri Lanka.
