yes christian231 - i've made a little affiliate income as well as adsense checks - i've only started this recently - i've only finished buying all the required tools last week, but since i have the tools now I've started building (on average) 3 sites a day...before that i was doing it the white hat way - as a matter of fact let me show you a white hat way to make a little cash Instead of going the Adsense route, you could go to Google and search for an affiliate program for your (keyword) product - for example if your product is "wild bird seed", then go to google and type in "wild bird seed affiliate program" then just sign up for all that you can find then you build your money-page where you have a comparison of these different companies that are selling "wild bird seed" you have them side-by-side in table form with the advantage/disadvantages/prices/quantity/etc.... then as the links you must put in each individual affiliate link (that you got from these companies) so when folks search for wild bird seed, (if your page is optimized well and has enough backlinks - you can get whitehat backlinks by submitting to website directories or even article directories - if you want to do it the blackhat way you'll build your own stash of link-juice with blog farms) ok, then your site will show at the top of the generic listings - and when they click on the link to your site - your money page will show up filled with nothing but these affiliate links. now remember that they searched for wild bird seed - and if you give them a nice comparison site they'll check out your links and many will buy... so that's how you do it white-hat way - but the point is that you have to make many of these money-pages a day - and you have to automate the process, so that as the days go by your income increases - so if you automate the process (and follow the same routine everyday), your daily income should never be less than the day before - understand? i use BloggerGenerator by Joseph Tierney www.BloggerGenerator.com - this tool will make you a thousand blogger blogs a day i also use www.rssEvolution.com and www.rssMagician.com by ScottTrimble - these tools are content generators and manipulaotrs. they will build you 1000page money sites (as many a day as you have the time for) i also use www.KeywordElite.com - this tool will help you find longtail keywords - when you find this list of a thousand keywords, just plug it into the rssEvolution and it will give you your site in about 15 minutes - then just upload the site to your hosting account. I only got these last week - i've just started building the black-hat money sites i suggest you pick up www.ProjectBlackMask.com (its basically what i've told you here, i've read it literally 20 times because i found it hard to understand, but you should be fine because i've explained a little bit of it here. you must also look into buying three separate (linux) hosting packages (from Hostgator, ResellerClub and WebNG - the basic packages should be fine) and you must register them with fake id - this is because you will be using these to build blog farms - just get ProjectBlackMask and you should be fine you will also need aounrd 10 more basic hosting packages (for your money sites) - so aside from your initial purchase of these programs, you can expect to spend about $100/month (that's it!) Also, I don't think GeorgR understood - this is black hat stuff - we don't care if the sites get banned - if they do, you have a thousand more - we aren't dealing with one site here - we're dealing with thousands...and everything is untraceable because we're using fake info (or atleast someone from your family's info - if you want to claim the hosting expenses on your taxes) no there is nothing wrong with putting in a hundred links - at the very least do a half-hearted job and of weaving them into your article and they should be fine... you can say something like, ok I want you to check out my site for "Wild Bird Seed" - www.wildbirdseed.com i also have a site about coffee cups - www.coffeecups.com etc etc
