    Hey, just so you know what one is - this is from the homepage of one of them.

    So yeah, there are basically loads of these sites and people buy extra turns to kill people etc. But my friend knows somone who has his own and gets like $1500/week from it.

    Now, my mates friend is making another one and he wants my friend to run it for 50%. My mate reckons he will be getting $600/week from it. Is it really that easy to make money with therse types of sites?

    When i ask how hes going to advertise it he says "il spam every other game like ours". Seems a bit nooby? But apparently it works..

    Would just like some feedback? I may make a similar site if its worth investing?

    Cheers, Ben.

    Hi there,

    Ok well you are going to own a game is strongly suggest that you do not go out spamming other sites.

    I know of many game owners who have done this and paid the price for the fact they are trying to ruin another site...

    Spam the wrong site and you will find out just how many SQL injections and XSS security holes you have, meaning you can kiss bye to the hard work you have done in creating it!!

    Just my opinion but i would definately say... DO NOT SPAM.
