Do you think these sites makes a lot of $$$ ?

    Apparently www.whateverlife.com (myspace layout site) attracts thousands of visitors a day and the owner (whos only 17) is raking in $40,000+ a month. Well anyway, according to Alexa.com many other sites get more traffic than her site. Does this mean that they are making around the same amount (or more) of money as her?

    The thing is though, www.whateverlife.com is making all of her money through ads (and thats just ppc click ads like Adsense). She's not selling anything (she gives the templates away for free). The equation for her success seems to be:
    Lots of Traffic + Lots of clicks on ads = $$$$
    Wouldn't someone with more traffic than her just have to make more money than her? I'm just wondering. I'm just trying to work out how much money sites like www.newgrounds.com (which gets more traffic than her site) would be making..

    and she has attractive and interesting site structure. Others just have links on the left menu bar and some graphics + jumping smile ads.

    Probably one of the best designed MySpace layout sites I've ever seen.

    Jeez I had no idea that people were becoming millionaires by giving away Myspace templates for nothing. I must be in the wrong business!

    Im know, I'm jealous too.

    The great part about myspace layouts is they advertise themselves. The more she gives away, the more visitors she attracts.

    Those sites make a lot of money, but I think the market is saturated and I wouldn't start such a site today.
