    Actually the concept of portal feeder is not new and is very effective. It seems like a nice little bundle of programs but a little steep dollar wise - imo. The monthly subscription is probably worth it if you have a site(s) that bring in enough to cover the cost of the subscription. Supposively, its kinda of an apprentice type subscription where everyone in the group works together and share strategies. Looks legit and they also claim that their approach utilizes 100% white hat strategies which is great to see. Subscribers need to sign an NDA so I don't know if we will see any feedback about portal feeder hitting these forums - although I would like to see some. If you are interested in learning more just visit the portalfeeder site (portalfeeder.com) and take a browse. The software bundles are explained.

    For the people asking if they can see examples of these sites. Well mostly you can't. A lot of the times only the search engines will see them, you as a viewer when clicking through will be whisked off straight to the merchant's site of that affiliate.

    That's why you've probably never seen them, you might have clicked on them and not even know it!

    oh whatever, 5k month is a lot to just about anyone IF its generated without you having to do much.

    You think not, or you KNOW not?

    No offense but looking at your sites, it doesn't look like you even pay for web design

    Nope, I see them sometimes. Few times I even saw some strange urls in my server logs and by following them found such spammy sites..
    These are regular sites, with articles from goarticles, some links from seach engines, may be few xml feeds etc. and a lot of adsense and other ads..

    Nope your bloody self!

    I know for a fact that a LOT of the successful spamming sites work exactly as I said. Get yourself on the black-hat forums and discussion groups, you'll see. Forums for the people who sell the tools are an especially good place to look.

    These "regular sites, with articles from goarticles, some links from search engines, may be few XML feeds etc. and a lot of AdSense and other ads", I think you'll find, are what a lot of honest people are putting up expecting to earn big time and are getting a few dollars a week from. :) I see a lot of them in people's sigs here. But they ain't going to get the big time traffic and click throughs.

    I don't doubt that sites loaded with free articles (plain and bastardised) are a tool used by engine spammers, as are the use of XML feeds too. But they aren't the bulk of them.

    I agree with Blackbug! There is more to Black hatting than meets the eye.

    I can't remember exactly. Look up the tools (Like TrafficEqualiser) and try to see if their sites have forums. I've found most of them through people posting links on this site actually :)

    I'm fully ready to admin I know nothing too. I've been tempted to toe that black-hat line, but I've not done yet :)
