I wrote http://ajaxtrans.com as an interface concept when I was 15 years old. It's very simple, only took about a day to get up and totally. All it is is a quicker interface to existing Machine Translation websites (i've managed to dodge TOS complaints with google translate--now using their published Ajax Language API--for the last 4 years).

Regardless of the small time commitment it took to create, the application (widget is probably a more appropriate term) now receives 60,000-70,000 unique visitors per moth. I've tried monetizing through Adsense, but my Click-through rate is abysmal (eCPM is ~ $0.40).

I really shouldn't complain. The app requires zero maintenance , has minimal costs, and it more than pays for itself, but I keep feeling like i'm sitting on a ton of untapped potential.
