I could churn 'em out at a rate of 100-1000 a day and maintain some decent quality behind them and no one could detect the automation.

Have to be a bit more sneaky now to stay under the radar of the SE spam detectors.

That's interesting stuff... I always wanted to be a techie type. I have often thought of getting some sites going again, but it seems like things are out of my league these days.

There's still plenty of money being made. But if you're thinking pure affiliate model, it's certainly not as easy as it was "back in the day". The main reason is the free traffic sources pretty much dont exist.

You can do TGP if you have something unique to push and can stand the bandwidth, but conversions blow chunks typically. You can do better with paid placements, but then that's not "free". SE paid placements are not for the meek or those of small budgets.

But long gone are the days of quickly getting a site up to a few thousand hits a day with a combination of SE and link lists.

Plenty of opportunity for making walking around money, but I'd hate to start from scratch right now and try to pay rent with nothing but affiliate income.

Oh how I miss the old days of Yahoo.

I come across articles once in a while that get me thinking. I spend so much time in the data center that I am REALLY out of the loop on what's going on *inside* all those servers, so when I read that plentyoffish.com does $300k a month from AdSense I just think "holy crap!" I also read about someone (I forget his name at the moment) doing about $100k a month, churning out automated blogs, etc... it just boggles my mind.

Which goes to show you traffic is still king. All you have to do is come up with that site idea that everyone wants to come visit.

There are lots of them that have come into being in last couple of years or so including YouTube, MySpace, etc.

$300K a month from AdSense is good, but it's that YouTube deal with Google that makes me get a chubby. I've always been on the prowl for an opportunity to be involved with an IPO.

Youd be surprised how much adsense can bring into places.

I still remember the day we went shirt shopping and you were so excited you had scraped your hand on a server case doing "techie work"

But alas, we grew too fast and needed *real* techies, not just a guy who could install linux and rack up a server.

You Tube amazes me as well. Tony takes good care of me, just not to the tune of $1.6 billion. haha
