March 16th, 2007 · No Comments

PortalFeeder’s blog reported a story where a guy essentially lost all 60k per month Google Adsense over night due to garbage content. Details are here North Carolina Man TAMES The ‘900 Pound Gorilla’… - Portal Feeder Marketing & SEO Blog

The spirit of the story is that: for one, you can’t take the easy shortcut, which in this case, this guy was basically using blackhat techniques to generate a lots of sites that generated $60k monthly Adsense check. Secondly, you can’t put all of your eggs in one basket especially if you work hard to develop a legit business online. For example, you have to mix Adsense, affiliate marketing, etc.

Nevertheless, the success of Adsense did and continued to feed a lot of online business directly (with Made for Adsense sites etc) and indirectly (with all those internet marketers that create tools and services that cater to the MFA crowds). Everyone is enjoying it while the party is still on and nobody is questioning the party will be over one day.
