How well do websites like this work?

Saw this on ebay this morning-

http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Adsense-...556799466QQcategoryZ46687QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Was curious whether anyone has seen this type of website creation promotion and/or used it. Am I thinking of it? God no. But was curious what others have heard of it and whether they've successfully used it. Is there anything of value to be gathered from this type of page creation?

 

I'm sorry but making money on the Internet is NOT easy. It takes a lot of time, work, patients and more work.

I make what this guy makes a month on Adsense and it wasn't overnight.

 

He doesnt really make much sense telling us why he doesnt keep the high profit sites for himself - I know I would keep them.

Also, he has 8 available for sell on eBay which seems a lot of work for just $225.00 profit each one - where he has the option to keep each one and make $8000 a month - what would you do?

Take a look at one of his clients sites and you will see methods he used for Adsense that were discovered by users on this forum - for example the famous http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=17104

Im thinking he is a user of this forum - which doesnt really matter as most users of the forum are very talented.

The advert is very impressive and sounds like a great buy but again it doesnt make sense in why he is doing this

 

For $225, he will tell you his secrets to making over $1000 per month and bring more competition to himself. Does that sound right to you?

 

I know him. I'm not happy now.

Thanks for the thread Jeep. Time to collect...

Exactly! Who would do this? As soon as you've created a site for $225 and "the work is done", why not put it up for yourself and make more on it? Probably because it's not actually worth the $225!

 

I never understood why anyone would want to make money on telling you how they made money.

if they made that much money, they wouldn't need to make more money pulling scams.

 

I take it this guy promised you something and didn't fulfill his end of the bargain?

Just out of curiousity..if you did get a site made by him, did it ever make you any money?

 

I've seen people selling so called adsense site templates "guaranteed" to make money - all identical!

As mentioned, it takes a lot of work to generate $1000 per month and nobody is then going to sell that for a measly $200 or so.

The whole idea seems crazy - yet he has 100% positive feedback.

 

Of course he has 100% positive feedback--he's only going to post the glowing results.

Reminds me of the infomercials on late night weekend television--how to get rich with little to no money down.

What they never mention is that the real way to get rich is to sell the books that supposedly show people how to get rich....

Absolutely!

To quote from one of my recent blogs: "The people selling the ‘secrets’ of making money online are making money online by selling the ‘secrets’ of making money online..."

Sorry, unadulterated self promotion there, but it is SO true!

He cant choose which feedback is displayed. All feedback is displayed, positive and negative, regardless of whether he wants it there or not.

He does not post "glowing results" on ebay...

 

yeah, but ebay feedback usually comes right after the sale...before they realize they've been had!

 

Sorry, wasn't talking about his ebay reviews--was talking about the feedback he was posting in his listing.

I didn't even check his eBay feedback--but I agree, it's got to be influenced by the timing of the sale and the actual launch of a site. I recently bought some baseball cards on eBay, and by the time they arrived, I couldn't even post my negative comments about the delay....

Jeep, no, it's nothing like that at all.

There's other issues that are related to adsense but not with his deal on ebay, not directly anyway. Sorry for being so cryptic.

Come on guys, give this guy a break

After all we all know that adsense earning is not just about making nicely blended ads.

The MOST important factor to getting paid nicely is good traffic. He just created those sites but the buyer must do the hardwork of geting the traffic. People who are new to internet-riches must realise that.

This is what he said:
I'll build a complete AdSense Content Website for you. I'll custom design it, fill it with relevant content, and optimize it for the search engines. When I'm all done, I'll upload it onto your server.

He never said he'll bring you traffic .. (which i think he couldn't . or else he should be creating those sites for himself)

 

Well that's a good bit of the hard work to get traffic.

What's left? Links? Co-op? Articles? PPC? Other ads? Press release? Billboards? Street Urchins with cardboard signs? SuperBowl Ads?

hmmm I was ging to argue at first, but I guess there is quite a chunk left after the site is up.

 

Damn right there's still a lot to do.
Most people in this business (ie webmasters, SEO's) can knock a pretty well optimized site out pretty quick - that part isn't that difficult after all. OK, it takes some research into the topic and some coding which is what, a week max when starting from scratch.
If all there was too it was knocking sites out we'd all be rolling in money
Building the site is only the very first stage, marketting it is what takes the real effort/time.

At the end of the day, all he's really offering on ebay is an optimized site design service. He's just written a pretty good advet to dress up that's all.
It could be that his skills lie in the design side and he's still learning the SEM side of life.
At the end of the day you make money with whatever skills you've got - hopefully whilst learning new ones.
Good luck to him is what I say.

 

Frankly, I'm seriously considering buying a website. Most of the posts I read here are full of terms I'm absolutely in the dark about. I have no idea what most of the posts are about - learning curve, you know?
I have to spend a fair amount of time on my eCommerce site, and I just don't have the time to keep writing pages for AdSense, although I can see the huge potential there.
If I could get someone to create the website, and it updated automatically, I'd be in heaven!
I do lots of advertising for my website, and getting the traffic wouldn't be too hard. My pages now get about 400 views per day, and I earn about $1 per day/per page on the pages I have. It wouldn't take long to recover the cost of his websites.
