    Can I make a really lame site with little content [A few articles 4-5 or so, and a whole bunch of adsense ads and build traffic through SEO? Would google ban me for such practice?

    Sure you can flood the web with useless sites to make money. As long as you follow their TOS you'll be ok, but is it really what you want to do?

    Dont you want to offer quality content? Everyone just wants to make money, its a big shame.

    Google not accept MFA sites but if your site agree the AdSense TOS will be ok... try to put original content.

    Most likely as you are helping to destroy their program for publishers and advertisers a like.

    Dont risk your account with an MFA. Build your site for visitors, not only will you perform better SEO wise but you'll generate lots more revenue than a crappy MFA site.

    I disagree with all of you. If you'd rather put in long extensive hours building an SEO site feel free. I'd rather throw up a quick site and get paid in the next 5 minutes. That's all i do is ppc, arbitrage included with google. Completely legit. Everything complies with google's terms of service. In case your wondering here's a site you can look at. 4termlifeinsurance.info.

    The key is to write quality content for your little site. As long as the content is good there is nothing that can be said. Where do you think about.com or wikipedia got started? A small crappy little website with good content. All your doing is busting the content up in different websites for seo value.

    I dont agree, clicks from MFA is probably just as good as any other site.
    People come to the MFA site looking for something, they dont find it and click an add. The add is relevant to the MFA site and the visitor might find what looking for when click on the add.

    While the MFA site might be crappy and unethical , its revenue potential might be huge.

    Click through on MFA sites is often 5-10 timer higher than normal sites.

    I run a few MFA sites with unique content and optimized SEO (not proud of them, but they earn good), and trust me these sites generate around 5-10 times more than my others sites, if you compare $ per visitor.
    I guess people just dont find what they where looking for and either browse on or click on an add. With a good site people find what they where looking for and tend not to click adds.
