Ben,

This is a great little site. I’m really curious to see what’s going to happen – and congrats on making your goal in January. Anyway, I was wondering if you could elaborate upon what is actually involved in “link building,” or point me to a good post or article about the nuts and bolts of it.

Please forgive my naivete.

Peace,

Philip

Ben, keep us up to date on the results of your experiment. I have heard about this strategy before and wondered if it has any real potential. Of course, like you, I have no time or intentions to do 1000 websites!

I have seen a number of those sites and they don’t impress me much. You can probably make some money with those adsense sites but it must be difficult to get thousands of visitors a day. Therefore I prefer blogs.

Ben,

I have created several ‘adsense’ sites that get a decent amount of traffic and make a decent amount of money. But as you mentioned in your post, unless your site gets a critical mass of traffic, you need to have several dozen of these sites to add up enough revenue to make it worth it.

Hi,

for some reasons I lost my comment, I am going to post it again,
First I really would love to see the result, and I wish you the best Ben, and thank you that you explain a lot for us, well at least for me as I am really enjoying reading your blogs,
Anyway, I have a problem in understand the adsense thing, I would love if you tell me where I can find more about it and read it, also there is something called Affiliate program, what is this? I have read many talk about it and many say they are looking for a good affiliate program one, what is it? is there a place where I can read more about it?

Thank you very much,
Regards.

Oh; I don’t know. Adsense works great if you have a blog that can generate consistent traffic. I have one I work with that is doing around 8-10,000 hits a day and it is making anywhere between 8 to 15 dollars a day in Adsense revenue. In fact it is all the revenue I have on that blog because there aren’t as many monetization techinques I can use on it due to the content.

I am one of those who doesn’t hate Adsense. I have seen results I suppose.

Patrick, I don’t want to post the links for a few reasons, one being that would draw attention to the sites that I wouldn’t get if I were doing this on a massive scale. Also, if it turns out it’s a profitable niche, I don’t want to give myself more competition.

As to your question about hosting, most accounts allow you to put multiple domains on one account. However, this is different than url forwarding. Feel free to drop me a line with the urls you’re talking about and I can give it a bit closer look.

@ Jason, I’m skeptical as well but we’ll see!
