    Good point, it does mention something about mp3 sites in their TOS, it may be a risk or out of pure curiosity you could ask them, doing that you have done no harm and kept yourself safe.

    There are also alternative options when it comes to ad placement... you can always sign up for things like Bidvertiser, but I think the affiliate marketing is what you want to focus on as your site gets bigger.

    For free Blogger templates, just go Google "blogger templates" or something equivalent and there are tons!

    You're going to want to submit your link to a bunch of directories, promote it through forums, Entrecard, social bookmarking sites, etc...

    No offense to you, but aren't these sites completely illegal? Especially taking an artists image, and putting your logo on it, and linking to a pirate download?

    I would think that most reputable ad companies would not allow this in their T.O.S.....at least that is what I have read many of them.

    Again, no offense, but seems kind of "ballsy" to take other peoples copy written material, provide access to an illegal download, and then look to monetize it.

    Maybe I am little sensitive since my blog deals directly with artists and labels, and I would never infringe on, or insult that relationship.
    It's easier to make money the right way, and get the support of the industry, instead of its legal wrath.

    well i have the same feelings for software warez
    but about MP3s
    i see there are tons of blogs and websites out there , and they have adsense on their pages
    so thought that could be ok to have such a website

    I don't know if it is O.K. Yes there are a TON of them. I guess I cannot answer the question, but in the T.O.S., there are guidelines for what kind of sites are not acceptable, for many, that includes illegal download sites.

    How are you so against one, but not the other.
    As far as the R.I.A.A. is concerned, the "Everybody is doing it" defense, does not hold any water, and if they choose to, they will still prosecute you for creating a gateway, and supporting illegal downloads.

    While adsense may let you get away with it..the RIAA does not.
    Maybe you should read this.

    I'm not trying to say how you should make money, but Google is not your biggest problem...all they can do is say no, or ban you.
