2. Sorry the old page is gone, it was a very crappy 2 colors page w/ a box in the middle w/ bullet points. My idea was, if I get decent CR on this, I'm guaranteed to sell some. I don't remember the CPC and the bid, but I spent 50$/day for 2 days on just a few keywords (about 10 iirc).
Also, it's a pretty small niche and it got good exposure when it came out. I think it would be hard to copy and sell it to the same market again.
2. No, it all started w/ a passion for languages. I had the idea to write a book after reading 4 Hour Work Week
3. What do you want to know exactly? I used the keywords "create programming language" iirc
4. Yes, I think it helped a lot. The only "marketing" I've done is on Twitter and my blog (also recently on my site http://refactormycode.com). I was surprised by the success, but I'm now convinced that OSS can pay in a way or another.
