The Big Word Project is a new site that has started to go viral on the internet.
The site has been set up by Paddy Donnelly and Lee Munroe, two Masters students from Northern Ireland, who are exploring what different words mean to different people.
The project allows you to purchase a word from the dictionary to represent your site. Once your word (or words) are purchased, your site will then be permanently linked to that word. So, whenever somebody searches for that word, and clicks on it… they will be taken to your site.
The project is aimed at changing definitions and creating a new tapestry of words, meaning altogether different things.
“We’re selling words for $1 per letter. Find it, click it, buy it :-)”
For example, I just bought the word ‘ecommerce‘ for $9 and have linked it to my site. The word ‘ecommerce’ is now a gateway to my site (RyanWade.com) and the definition (on The Big Word Project) is now permanently changed.
No longer does the word “ecommerce” mean ‘the buying and selling of goods over the internet’, instead it will now be represented visually by my blog.
So, check out the site sometime at TheBigWordProject.com. For $1/letter… it could amount to some VERY cost effective traffic to your site.
To Your Success,
Ryan
p.s. Here is a list of words that I have purchased from The Big Word Project…
So, I have spent a total of $22 for three ‘possibly’ high traffic words. We will see if the traffic pans out to anything… but seriously… it was only 20 bucks!

“We’re selling words for $1 per letter. Find it, click it, buy it :-)†What a scam…!!
Okay, I left one comment and it was not good, and here was the response…if it was not so sad, it would be funny:
“Thanks for your comment, it’s interesting to hear different opinions from different people so we appreciate your point of view.
We’re surprised ourselves how well TBWP has done, considering it started as a small experimental University project.”
Okay, obviously they do not even read the comments… not someone/somthing/some website that I would want to be a part of….
I googled ecommerce and came up with everything EXCEPT your site.
You Lose, and hey where is my book you promised me

Its almost been two months since you said you would mail it. How hard is it to drop it in the mailbox?
You talked all the time about ebay, so you should be used to how mail works.
The bid word project is impressive i agree. but i had issue with the word i wanted being unavailable so i searched and looked around and found another great page called linkinword with the same principles and got the word that i wanted for the same price. you should check it out, http://www.linkinword.com
