Thanks for the share man. Content has ALWAYS been my major limiting factor and I wish we could get a more comprehensive collaboration going on this. Although it might be smarter to do in private like the VIP section.
AFAIK, there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of databases with free books, articles, and all sorts of shit that is not published on Google.
Like here's 1 example -
http://www.monmouthcountylib.org/index.php/research/alpha-content-example
It's a local online library. But I had to register in person and show my ID to get a passcode to access the database. These are suppose to be "public" databases but they're really not because they force you to show ID before you can access the databases. Same thing with many college databases. You can't access them unless you're a student.
1 thing I've always wanted to do is start something called "The Content Project". And start it over in the VIP section.
My plan is pretty simple.
1) Get 100 volunteers to start.
2) At least 25 of those volunteers I want to be college students.
3) Anyone who's graduated college (or not gone at all) would register at their local libraries online database and get passcodes.
4) Anyone in school would share their username and passcode to access college databases.
5) Then basically, anyone who volunteers 1 database would get access to all 100 databases (or more).
To avoid too many people from using the content, if you do not submit at least 1 database and passcode then you can't access any.
I've even thought about paying a developer, then using proxies and a massive harddrive to download all the content from all these databases then pool it into 1 massive private database.
And like I said, nobody could access the database unless they help build it. If their passcode expires it would be associated to their username and they'd lose access to ALL 100+ databases.
Now obviously, this wouldn't benefit everyone on the forum. And it shouldn't. It would only benefit those who actually get off their ass, go to their library and get a passcode. And imagine what benefit this would provide to BH marketers. Imagine having passcodes for 100 databases FULL of content that isn't published on google. IMAGINE what type of benefit that could provide for the few who participate. And IMAGINE if we could pool all that data into 1 database?
Shit would be crazy. You wouldn't have to write an article again for the rest of your life.
