SelectSmart.com is for sale
SelectSmart.com was established in 1998 by me, Curt Anderson. SelectSmart.com has been recognized and honored for its popular selectors, which are preference quizzes in which the users obtain a recommendation(s) based upon their stated preferences. It is the oldest website featuring selectors and the first to feature user-created selectors. SelectSmart.com is also the first website to allow users to create and publish online flowcharts for free.

SelectSmart.com provides unbiased personalized recommendations on thousands of topics, all based upon the users' preferences. SelectSmart.com fulfills the human need "to know thyself" as the Chicago Tribune wrote in 2002. The selectors also offer affirmation to the person who seeks to confirm that they have the right cat or dog, attend the appropriate church, drive the right vehicle, use the proper laptop, support the correct candidate, subscribe to the right philosophy, applied to the correct college, etc.

An excellent passive money-maker
SelectSmart.com is a one-person, profitable operation requiring minimal attention as more than 99% of the content is user created. The ubiquitous rating tools keep topical selectors, quizzes and polls front and center on the front page and promoted on every results page. The site features easy-to-use management and editing tools. The site's php programming and dynamic architecture make it easy to repurpose user-generated content into polls, trivia quizzes, top-rated lists and other uses.

The revenue generated on SelectSmart.com is passive. You won't be chained to an ecommerce website dealing with inventory, shipping and customer issues. The revenue is generated by contextual and personalized ads from Google AdSense and other ad networks. Contextual and personalized ads feature products and services that are relevant to the viewer (see example on the right). The individualized selector results link to relevant Amazon products. The Amazon links from user-created SelectSmart.com selectors, knowledge quizzes and polls are generated automatically. The site is interactive: users click on the radio buttons and checkboxes to generate their personalized selector results. That interactivity makes it a small step for users to click on the ads, thus generating revenue for the site owner. Engaged users can quickly become engaged customers. Often users are looking for a recommendation because they are ready to buy. The management of the site is mostly monitoring the ad networks and giving prominence to the most ad lucrative categories and ad placements. The AdSense tools are especially helpful in this regard. When inspiration strikes, it's fun and often lucrative to create and update content. This site is perfect for creative people who enjoy writing, research and have at least rudimentary programming skills---or access to people who do.
AdSense's relevant ads like this one which appear on SelectSmart.com are mostly contextual (related to the page's content) or personalized (related to the viewers' searches and browsing history) and often localized.
