Can you really make money with MFA sites? Are automatic site generators just trash? Should I put the time into writing custom content and updating by hand? What're some good methods you've tried? Sorry, newbie here! I appreciate the help!
Are there such things as quality MFA sites? Well those who can make MFA sites that don't seem like one... generate more than those who obviously are MFA.
Interesting opinions. I am thinking of starting a huge MFA site network. It seems like it could really rake in the $$$
I've read Google is getting aggressive and banning mfa sites, especially in the last 2 weeks. Automated MFA sites look like crap, pollute the internet, and waste advertiser's money. I really hate the ones that just scrape search engine listings and rss feeds. Don't waste your time with these kinds of programs. At best, you'll make a few cents, at worst, google will ban you and delist your sites.
MFA site means "Made for Adsense". You can find them everywhere. A typical site looks like mesothelioma-asbestos-lung-cancer-info.com/search/2003-asbestos-broadcast-canadian-mesothelioma-study
Don't forget that a lot of the said MFA "scraper" sites will get harder and harder time for copyright violations as well. The reason noone is doing anything about them yet is because they grow like mushrooms. So they are a "hit and run" kinda thing that usually lasts a month or two. In some rare cases it can lasts years. Be careful where the "generated" content comes from. And also think of who is your customer. After all that's how you make money - by providing service to people / companies. Just because money seems to be coming out of AdSense doesn't seem you should throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. If you are not making people happy in the process they will correct the system eventually.
charlinks, good words. I appreciate the comments. After looking into it, I think handmade sites with the work put into them a la original content, etc. would generate more income, last longer, and be more safe with Adsense in general.
There is some discussion about the MFA sites, these sites will not only be banned by Google very soon. But even as I write these sites are being ignored by the search engines. You can create hundreds of niche web sites with google adsense on them using reputable software that creates an individualized and monetized website This software uses all those PLR articles that you have laying around and creates powerful website that are monetized with clickbank amazon.com and Adsense. Beautiful websites http://www.rewritepros.com/articlesitepowerkit/
I think they does.. I have on MFA site - it is gaining the most adsense revenue out of other site network..
Very interesting reading here folks, and a plethora of views and dispositions concerning this seeming "answer" to the decline of MLM'S or evolution there of? What strikes me most is how these cons get so much momentum so fast, that if people used those marketing techniques and advertising venues to promote legitimate services and potential business transactions, they would be highly profitable quite quickly, while so many others who work really hard to build a quality site with all the right metrics, including ethics, integrity, and practical application of marketing techniques, and site SEO practices, watch as their site S L O W L Y rises in organic search results, while witnessing these companies coming in initially, and then rising so fast combines with making it apparent they are raking in the revenues, (even if it is just a show) it is enough to push some to consider trying, since it seems the honest hard working individuals trying to eek out a livable, sustainable income on line, honestly, seem to be passed over by Search engine bots, Google specifically, that when i first start my first site, and joined Google groups for insight, it was post after post of people just like me, who have been waiting in some cases up to 7 MONTHS to FIRST get their home page indexed, let alone the rest of their site's pages and beyond, to rate with relevance to show up in search results at all, let alone close to the top! I didn't stay there too long though, because I had launched my second site, at this point, and after only a few days it was indexed by Google, as evidenced in my webmaster tools account, and then a month later went on to being in the first three slots of Google search results, for the majority of my top keywords/keyword phrases, and dared not even post such a fact or risk Google banning me of causing a riot in their message groups considering the level of frustrations most others were expressing there. LOL! All in all, my experiences have shown me that most sites have a very good chance of being picked up and then ranking well in the SERP's by using the most ethical methods of promoting them, either to Google for more consideration, or directly to their site visitors, to increase their traffic and allow them to not only bring in whatever their site's purpose serves, but the ad-sense revenues as well, that even those not getting click through, can generate enough impressions even, to build additional revenues from, by selling the real estate on their websites to others to advertise on, based on their traffic and page hits, and these "Flash in the pan" "legitimate"(meaning what they do is not illegal as far as i know) schemes, are not worth the time or effort, and will only stand to be hurt more than gaining any significant income from them over a long haul and if you are doing this as a legitimate site you already run, i think you are only risking being hurt even more, if Google catches and responds in kind, and then you not only lose the MFA being on Google's black list, but you lose whatever ground you gained up to the point you take that plunge...and even though you may be able to convince Google to release your site from this list, it could be a long time before you reattain the level you were at, let alone expect to get closer to page one or position 1-5 on the first page! Thanks for the info, I am subscribing because I wish to follow this thread for any further developments on this topic. Oops, I just now noticed the dates of these posts...lol, believe it or not, this was the first time I heard of this, and it was also the point i launched the first two sites I referred to so I guess it is moot now and this no longer exists??? Have a great day, TSG!
