    Heres my update on SEC.

    I got into this August the 8th. It is now September 22. Basically, its been just about 1.5 months. I have invested about $450 total into SSEC (Includes over 200 domains, 2 months of SSEC service, 2 months VPS, and installation help through SSEC forums from another member).

    So out of that $450, thus far I have made $350 bucks. My first month I had literally 1 sale. I setup my domains and just let them be completely with NO outside help from other sources. People kept saying install the interlinking script and you're good, well my issue was it was a brand new site of sites, so there was nothing to interlinking and nothing was getting indexed. So with a little link advancement of my own, within the past 11 days or so is when I have made most of my money, there were a couple sales before that, maybe up to $20 bucks. So basically after the sites were getting indexed, I have made about $350 total dollars thus far.

    I'm currently having some computer issues so I am not able to keep creating domains at this point, but the little break will do me some good so I can bust some ass and create many more once I get my issues straightened out.

    Anyway, if all goes well, I am hoping the next 11 days brings me in just as much money or more. I regret the 1st month just letting the domains sit, but hey, live and learn. I am still down about $100 from my initial investment. But I am guessing that won't last long.

    I have one affiliate program that is converting well for me. But I am afraid that if the traffic is poor I can lose my $95 per sale I make now. I've got to keep it one free member to every 20 uniques.

    Has anyone found a useable VPS for $30 a month? You need more memory than 128.

    There are a bunch of them on the forums. I know one user found some ultra inexpensive ones that ran like 100 for 6 months or something. Anyhow, you should start your search for a vps on the member forums.

    could you explain why "the best success comes from getting a VPS server"?

    Because you don't have to share resources with 50 other people, and you're not on a server with 20,000 other sites. You also can't install any of our free add on scripts on the hosted server since we for obvious security reasons don't allow you to have any access to any files on the hosted server.

    VPS is a shared server, hence the name "Virtual Private Server".

    You are sharing the hardware with other people, but not the software.

    I know exactly what a vps is. I think you are confused.

    I own the software company that sells the product. We offer a hosted version of our software which is what I was referring to. A vps is what we suggest our users get.

    same here, still waiting for brian to come online.

    I've been a member of ssec for around 1 month and 9 days with 160 domains with total earnings of $194 so far.

    Still building more domains to recover first all my expenses

    I have been SSEC for quite a while. I have been successful redirecting traffic to Adsense site and am already upto $60 plus a day. Its really easy income. The best thing is, my domains have not been banned for quite a while. I also do not advertise the sites at all.

    I am now planning to get into affiliate programs and start selling them too.

    In the past few days, SSEC server seems to be facing problems.

    Regards

    Is it allowed redirecting traffic to adsense site?
    I mean, will it break GA TOS?

    You can redirect traffic to an adsense site no problem. Just don't place adsense on an auto generated site directly.

    Once I read about this somewhere (I don't remember), it said redirecting traffic is breaking GA TOS.

    Actually, I am really interested about this program, but I am not 100% sure.
    I can cover the cost from buying domains and membership, but I don't know if I can cover VPS.

    There would be no problems if u are directing targeted traffic. I have been doing for quite a while now with no problems.

    Brian, why is the server facing problems?
