The Plan

• Create an interesting ever changing website for Every village in England and use adsense to generate revenue.
• Physically create each websites HTML so adsense has actual content to base its contextual adverts on.
• Have built in chat on each site so villagers can communicate with each other
• Allow visitors to update the village news
• Provide interesting village links

So-Far
I wrote a program to generate the html and php for one village then fed it 18,000 village names.
A couple of minutes later I have 18,000 village websites and 80,000 google adsense adverts and 18,000 ajax chat rooms, and a low disk message
The premise behind the idea was that everyone at some point will type their village name into a search engine.
How do I get Google to list an individual village?
I’ve linked each village to at least 4 other villages with the “nearby villages” links.
Any ideas?

oops I forgot the website The name is folksin meaning "Folks In" or "Folk Sin" http://www.folksin.com

NB. I know I have lots to sort out some villages have 5 houses and others have many like York in Yorkshire http://www.folksin.com/england/York/York.php for instance

I think the greatest challenges will be:
1) Producing unique content that is not found anywhere else that is useful to a person from that village arriving on the page. After seeing it for the first time, why would someone want to return? (for example) You need a really good answer to that.
2) Getting people to actually use the site and return on a continuing basis. I think you will need to invest in some off-site advertising like radio or print media to seriously generate interest.

RSS weather and news for each village should help with content
great concept tho
if done right... you could get some free media attention
submit some press releases whenever you think your site is worthy should help alot..
