Profiles Free

Language: PHP
Database: MySQL
Javascript: GreyBox

Profiles Free, I'll admit, was something made purely out of curiosity. I wanted to see whether I could build a site that Google would like enough to keep users coming back to while at the same time generating a small stream of income, and it does just that.

The site incorporates Google AdSense and affiliate marketing ads in a very "in your face" kind of style.

One of the best things about this site is that it's almost maintenance-free. I check on it about once a month just to make sure it's still there and functioning.

All of the back-end code is done in PHP and the database is, of course, MySQL. Instead of using any kind of JavaScript library on the site, I decided it was a bit overkill for a site like this and just went with the light-weight GreyBox framework to display images in modal forms.
