    Scott, just caught your interesting post and wonder about the household name/website name idea. Have you created content that displays adsense ads for competitive companies/products?

    I don't influence the adsense ads, the domains/content is specific and therefore yes you get competitiors advertising and the like & bidding can be high so it does tend to offer a high CPC, the content is just general info and all quite amicable so as stated its a friendly site about companies that just happens to rank for the company.

    10k is a tough mark. To date 7k is my best month. I don't expect to break 10k for at least a year.

    Haha, McFox is a funny guy, Laird Foxy of lowland Scotland ;)

    My first website didnt make money and there was no adsense back then so that is why we had to cultivate other methods of income, I think people concentrate on MFA too much now.
    Oct 2003 I made $148.29
    Jan 2005 I made $1370

    It has really been the last 2 years.

    I am more than impressed with what you have done!
    I am just curious to know weather you use images of this brand, or if the site is designed to make the user believe they are actually on the "official" site?
    Well done!

    Awesome man, good job!

    I've only had my sight for about four months, but I hope six years from now I'll be able to come back and tell a story like this! My current goal is to consistently get $1 a day lol.

    I'm curious, on the sites where you have the domain of a company not on the web, what do you put on those sites? Do you just put a phone number for the reral company and some info about their products? Please explain, and congrats! :)

    I suspect he'd rather not. Posting what he's doing will only encourage others to work in his niche. If you find a profitable niche it's best to protect it.
