    Well said, the biggest part is the initial launching and wrapping your head around it. But as you state, once you get into it, you can create popular sites easily.

    Like anything in life there is a learning curve, that gets easier :)

    one of the things that helped alot was creating my own base php5 libraries and own framework (nowadays there are very good frameworks like symfony, zend are available)

    this way i didnt have to reinvent the wheel every time i needed a new site, making new sites became a lego building exercise (plug this backend in, write a controller, extend or create new models, cretae a template for the view)

    Excellent point. Rather longwinded way of saying it though. And i think ive heard it before somewhere. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff. :/

    one of the servers i manage, has a site which get that every hour (or even few mintes at peak times) and to make matters worse its a very database intesive site. I had to rewrite the whole system in php5 mysql5 this massively reduced the load on the server, but mysql was still close to 90% at all times
    :(

    i had to start caching articles so to spread the load from mysql to apache. the site owner doesnt want to move up to better hardware yet but he was more than happy to dish out for rewriting the system


    theres a stage when a site reaches when it just keeps growing without input, the problems at this stage becomes how to effectively manage increasing numbers of visitors on a server that can only take so much. its very exciting area for me

    Care to give us less savvy types a few hints? From reading between the lines, it seems that you have a couple established, well ranking sites (or perhaps large network of sites) with traffic, then you link to your newer sites from them. That gets you indexed quickly as well as starts you off with some good linkage.

    As for the rest of it- do you do massive link exchange campaigns? Buy high PR links? Write tons of articles for article directories? Target low competition keywords?

    I've experimented with all of the above, and Google seems to sandbox me on all but the last one.

    This is not always true, if you have money to invest you can always have people do work for you =]


    and as far as >500 uniques in a first month is concerned, I do have an established network of sites in the niche, give some good links and the site gets indexed a lot quicker. Do not really buy links, even though a lot of experts say it is worthwhile. One of the biggest keys I have found is to not start a site on a brand new , just registered domain, it is always good to pick up a domain from a domain name / expired domain name auction, eliminates chances of your site being sandboxed for way too long. There is no sure way though, every case is unique =]

    Best of luck

    ok i'm here..

    great topics..

    overall, the conclusion was hardwork + bit investment + dedication + interest + trial and error = money.

    i'm still new, but i have always learn on trial and error basis, i'm actually have not even single piece of experience in any programming method, but when u have the keen to success, nothing is impossible, now i have my own site, not looks so good, but it's mine, on my own work.

    i have just make 6 bucks from adsense, but over 1000++ from the offline market, before, just 40 bucks per day, now combining with the online market, it's keep expanding, still lot of works to do and i feel tired like hell, but i do enjoy it very much.

    The quantity of hits aren't that important. It is quality that counts.

    Mr Reese already had very high PR sites he linked his new adsense sites with which must have helped a lot.
    So he didn't exactly strart from scratch...

    Reese just shows an example of what you CAN achieve with hard work.
    His high PR sites didn't fall out of the sky, he put hard work into developing those as well.

    He doesn't give all away, people just need to take from it what they can.
    The bottom line is that you need to work to succeed, too many people waste time reading about how to do it, but spend little or not time actually doing anything about it.

    That's true! It's very easy to say "Oh, he has high PR sites" but forumbulge is right, they didn't just pop out of thin air. You have to put hard work, effort (and money) into any new venture to make money. If you make the right moves earlier, hopefully it gets easier as you go!
