I agree it shouldn't be that slow at the beginning. But it shows, theoretically, how doubling your income each month pays off later, not sooner. Hard work over a long time, tortoise and the hare! I'd rather make $.05 a day for a few weeks, build a great site slowly, and be making $10k a month in a couple years, rather than make $10k my first month and crash and burn back to square one because there was no content on my site. Or maybe Wikipedia will put all content sites out of business, then it's MFA-only on the net!
its all about your initial traffic , if you put ads on a establish site it will start making money quickly.
