How will Yedda make money?

Glad to hear that gullefjun, we worked hard on this one .

We're thinking about changing the layout of the books a bit - add the book names next to them for example. What do you think? Would that be useful?  

So you wouldn't actually be able to release a book under theis license, nor sell our content on the site.  Without our consent anyway.

So how would this affect a sale of the website?  If huge company X wants to buy, how would the CC license affect the content on Yedda? 

Just a small correction, see my quote above from the TOS: 

You "grant to Yedda [bla bla] license to use, copy, publicly display, digitally perform, and distribute such Content for any purpose whatsoever"

The book names show up on mouseover.  It's enough for me, and I think adding the titles by each book cover might be a bit cluttered.  On the other hand, plain text links aren't as eye catching, but they're a lot more accessible, and might attract more clicks.

If it were me I would randomly show the covers as is, just text, and the covers with text, and see which works best

they might recruit people who knows everything, then make a service like google answers, and give a commission to people who answers the very "pro" questions...

there are a lot of websites who will pay for ad in this site, if there is a lot of people visiting "yedda", they will make more money...

I think Yedda could make money by selling the template of its database to portals which maintain heavy traffic forums. (I am not sure "the template of its database" is the right term but that doesn't change the point of my suggestion.)

It didn't take me much time to see that a service of the kind of Yedda solves virtually all the problems inherent in the classic internet forums.

If I were to build a web based service and I wanted to implement a system allowing the users of my service to share their comments, opinions, suggestions, questions, etc, I would definitely choose a system of the kind of Yedda to a forum. Just think of the potential of this, implemented to professional forums like www.proz.com/kudoz where users exchange knowledge meant to be transformed into money.

What do you think? Could one really make money on the transition of internet forums to services like Yedda?
