My main goal for creating this site is to help you get an understanding about what it takes to create a web site and make it profitable. I have developed many sites with a bunch of different niches to them. I have got everything from pharmaceuticals to adult sites. At this point I have around 50 or so domain names with most of them being developed in some fashion. Some of them I have parked with sedo and getting revenue through its program until I get time to develop them. Developing a site isn’t that hard and for the most part can be done in 1 or 2 hours if you use a predesigned script like wordpress.

Buying the domain names and getting them developed was the easy part of starting this business. The hard part has been trying to learn how to get traffic to my sites. The thing is that it has to be quality traffic. In other words web users that are interested in buying your goods or are going to click on your advertisements so that you can keep a website going and make a little bit of change for your pocket. Most of the people that I have talked to about traffic said it took them a long time to build up their number of visitors. The problem is it can take months before you start showing up in the major search engines. So you basically have a few choices to get traffic to your site. One choice would be to buy traffic from say Google Adwords or for adult sites you could use black label ads. This can get expensive if you are not bringing in any money to begin with, so I have found a couple of other options for you to use. For adult sites you can use Adult Gadget Spots or for non adult sites you can use Gadget Spots. The way these 2 sites work is you put their code for ads on your page and then you create an ad for your page in their system. After you have done this then your ads will start showing up on other sites on their network. Doing this tripled my traffic in the first month after I started the program.

The best advice I could give someone just starting out is not to give up. If you are looking for quick money then go scratch a lottery ticket and cross your fingers. Creating a good site and getting traffic to it takes time.
