    Could it also be that selling content is not liked by Google?

    Catanich, I'm not sure what you mean by selling content? I created a website that gives information about getting into nursing school. I wrote a whole bunch of posts (it's set up as a wordpress blog) and about 70 articles linking to it. (If I were to do it again, knowing what I do now, I could have written half as many articles for the same effect, but anyway...) and I monetized it with adsense.

    The only thing that I can see that I did wrong was not update the site once it got up to a PR3. I had so much content on it, though, that I didn't know that I needed to constantly update it.

    Interesting update - so far, my adsense earnings haven't fallen off. All hail the power of article marketing!!!
