I don't feel comfortable having people review my site yet, but I'm trying to figure my chances of making some decent money from it. What is the worst site you know of that is making a few hundred dollars per month. I'd like to see it so I can compare it with mine. Mine is politically oriented so I'm especially interested in political/socially oriented sites.

Yep, that's pretty bad. I didn't know the color of the scroll bar can be changed. I don't know why you would want it to be almost invisible though. But I'm looking for sites that are making money from their advertisers. If that site was making money, I'd know that I'll be a webmaster for life!

Changing scroll bar colors is a css tag in the html doc, if your going to be a webmaster, learn html/css and some server side scripting... Will help loads...

I use SSI and CSS, but not CSS2 or CSS3. It's difficult enough getting the common stuff to render correctly.

Worst site?
http://www.geocities.com/webtekrocks/

It was created as a parody, though, so it's not bring in a lot of money... But you must admit, it's a pretty bad site! :)
