This can be a really useful website that could potentially earn you _interesting_ money.
I'd take your first few $15 and reinvest it by getting someone on oDesk to go through and fix stuff.
* First section I looked at was 'Brakes'. First article is about the windscreen washer. Then there's two articles called "Adjusting the Brakes /1" and "... /2". Why two?
* In the first there's one massive unreadable paragraph. In the second there's paragraph-length titles.
* I'd also look at getting your oDeskers to put the images in interesting places within the text.
At the moment it feels like an OCR dump of a book rather than the amazingly useful website it could be (and thus it feels like an SEO AdSense site).
Thanks that's a great idea. It's a little more work than putting the job up on oDesk though, as I'd need to implement some mechanism for people to edit and update, and for me to vet it.
The truth is, having scanned and OCRed it all, I'm sick of the sight of it for the time being so I haven't proofread it. I will get onto this. And your suggestion about moving the images around is a great one - I'm conscious that these pictures are lovely but I'm not displaying them well at all.
