    No.

    Simply because the people selling them don't promise guarenteed income. After the first month or so, google catches on, and your income starts dropping.

    The basic logic:

    If the people who are selling these MFA sites really believe that each site can make $400 a month, then why wouldn't they just make thousands of them and leave them to be.

    there is always a chance of getting banned if you are using adsense.

    if its unique content then you can buy, but if u see the site used in like 15 different sites, i'll advise against it, it'll definitely get ur site banned and if u use adsense, say bye bye to your account

    if its unique then why not, and buying traffic - buy traffic from adsense safe sites such as adwords and ysm and microsoft adcenter - there are other ppc that are targetted - those surf for traffic will get u banned, the pop ups and pop under will get u banned as well so be careful

    My apologies for my ignorance, but what is an MFA site? My Google search on the term took my to all sorts of places, but not to an explanation. :confused:

    MFA is quite a difficult thing to define. Even some good sites get branded as MFA these days simply because they have adsense as a method to monetize the sites.

    Okay, then am I right in guessing that the MFA means Money from Adsense? In which case, such a site's main purpose is adsense revenue and not content and visitor value?

    I have taken sites with poor content and slowly recreated the content to a point that I am proud to publish it. But I would bet the original site would be considered an MFA because the original content was junk...

    Well that makes sense! I appreciate the clarification! ;)

    Now I can speak to the original question. One of my first experiments with building sites was by using Google Cash Machine, which created pages around a list of keywords and not any real content. I quickly realized that I did not want to publish a bunch of just keyword pages, so I dumped most of the pages and focused my attention on just one of the keyworded pages and made it useful. This unique page/website is published under one of my umbrella domains. From August 2006 to August 2007 adsense revenue from this one page was $36.95.

    It certainly started off as an MFA page and maybe it still is, but it gets visitors every day.

    My point is, if you buy an MFA site make it better until you feel comfortable enough to publish it. This works best if it is a subject you care about. Then you can write articles, add photos and other resources.

    Ask yourself this question...and the rest of you, too, if you are contemplating such an action. WHY are the sites being sold? If they were great money makers, I'd sure as heck be hanging on to them. They must be a liability of some sort to the current owner, or they are not doing that well.

    The people selling the MFA sites will make more money on the sale than you'll make with the site and Adsense. Think about it.

    They are selling it because there are chances to get banned.
    Not Recommended.
