Some of you may have heard of the BigWordProject. Since that came out, there have been several knock-offs. Well, I thought it would be interesting to put a spin on it and create the BigWorldProject.
The Big World Project
It was a cheap experiment. I bought the BigWordProject script for $10, made some php modifications, found a database of cities, loaded it all up to a new domain, and bingo! I thought it was kinda interesting.
The Big World Project sells cities at $1 per letter, so you can redefine the links from them to your own website. Think of it as a really cool link directory. You can finally buy your home town! I don't charge you for the letters in the state and country names, just the city. So, Dallas, Texas, USA only costs $6. Of course, the first thing that I did was register Memphis, TN for HistoryofElvis.com. LOL.

Hi Mark:
I started to venture into the world of Internet Marketing about a month ago and stumbled across your site about two weeks ago. I haven’t started anything yet, but have started to play with WordPress and a few of the templates to get the hang of that first. The Big Word Project and your follow-up with the Big WORLD Project is very interesting. I have a couple of ideas I would like to pursue that have a similar focus. Unfortunately, I have not ventured far enough to get to that stage yet. I do have a question though. You state that you purchased the script for the bigwordproject for $10….how and/or where? The projects I would like to pursue would require some scripting and it would save me a lot of time if there were scripts available to me.
Any thoughts?

Max;
In this case, I learned about the script on the DP forums (http://forums.digitalpoint.com). I contacted the developer and confirmed that I would have permission to modify the script. Then, I hired a php programmer from the Philippines on ScriptLance to write the code. ScriptLance is a site where you can post projects and people from all over the world will bid on them.
If you have something specific in mind, I can also possibly recommend a specific person (depending on what it is). For example, if you need WordPress Theme Programming, I recommend Garry Conn over at Garry Conn dot Com. He designed MasonWorld.com.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Mark. I’ll contact Scriptlance when they are ready and see what they can do for me.
So basically exactly like the bigwordproject. I understand its a script that can be sold but your site is in design terms exactly like the big word project???
@Jay. Yes. I bought the BigWorldProject Clone script and asked for permission to modify the dictionary. The result was a world link dictionary.
The bid word project is impressive i agree. but i had issue with the word i wanted being unavailable so i searched and looked around and found another great page called linkinword with the same principles and got the word that i wanted for the same price. you should check it out, http://www.linkinword.com
Hi Mark,
I bought the same script but found I didn’t have a clue on how to install it (without any changes).
Any suggestions as to who I could use to install and set it up for me?
Thanks!
