    Sure , why not.

    There are plenty of people that make money using those scripts :)

    If they are set up and run right they can be very profitable

    Hope that helps

    If you have a solid plan on how to build the site, get traffic, and a consistent source of incentive deals, I say go for it. If you are just winging it based on the fact that you found a script, and you don't have any other info, it might be a difficult row to hoe.

    You're going to need traffic primarily. There are lots of people looking for free stuff, but there are also a lot of people on the internet offering supposed free stuff as well. It's pretty crowded. However, there are a decent number of advertising companies offering deals like this that you might be able to cash in on, if you have the right connections.

    It's up to you, but make sure you know ahead of time all the steps to take to come out with $ int he end before you invest that much in the script.

    Good luck!

    Yeah, but there are so many already. Do you believe that you'd be able to compete or offer something unique or better than the others? If so, go for it!

    I agreed with usasportstraining . There are too much competition out there, but if you can offer something different from all others then you really should go for it.
    The trick is to innovate and not only make copies.

    i have a freebie blog: http://free-stuff-finder.com. But it's mostly free sample type stuff and i have a handful of affiliate links. But if you have a site with only free ipods and the other free spammy stuff that people know is B.S. then you probably won't get too far...

    It is a great idea. People love free stuff and that should give them a reason to keep coming back to your site.

    You could offer something different and something heavenly and it still won't matter if no one visits your website. If a tree falls....:p
