My site is long long gone. I think about a year ago I tried to find anything related to it and all I found was a gif logo I made hosted somewhere. I can't even find it on my harddrive anymore.. so who knows maybe my site is 100% vanished into the ether.. maybe theres a copy of it somewhere in a dark corner of the world on a dusty unix box, but who knows.
And yes I'm probably biased, but at least if I would have tried back then and failed -- I would have had lessons to learn from and would still be better off. Without never having tried during those early golden years though I just feel like a fool.
As for examples of other ideas...
I know a few domainers who bought up a whole slew of domain names back then and now are sitting on a fortune.
Look at any affiliate marketer that is well known and chances are they started during that period when you could keyword stuff, game SEO extremely easily, buy ads on a site and making a fortune, etc. Lots of blood sweat and tears is required with online marketing (which is why I no longer pursue it), but compared to now, back then was a cakewalk.
