the worrying thing is... you can basically put a page up with a block of 20 ads with little or no content.. now if i was paying Yahoo for these ads... I'd be slightly pissed off about that! I've been using and abusing adsense for a few years now & the publishing guidelines are tighter than ever.. also as an advertiser who spends a couple of grand a month on adwords I can pretty much nail down the type of site or search result i want my ads to show on & skip most of the MFA stuff... I wonder if the poor suckers who are paying for these ads get the same control?

I have switched a few sites over to justgo's system, and the first day's results are in. We're looking at a well over 200% increase over our normal expectations... and that's just the first day.

Will report back over the next few days, but at the moment, it's wiping the floor with adsense...

It's just a shame that at the moment, you have to have a separate login for each site, as the reporting is not available persite...

Would recommend a combination of adsense and targeted affiliate programs, then you'd pretty easy reach that level (£1).

The better domain name you have, the easier it is obviously. Many domains that are a few years old would make a lot more only by parking it on Sedo or DomainSponsor for instance. But from my experience, you'd see an increase between 10-25 times just by adding 1 page of text & adwords instead of using parking sites like Sedo. If you make more sub pages, add some targeted affiliate programs, and give it some back links you could see an increase between 50-100 times the parking site income.

So, when you buy a new domain check how many type-ins it get and put it on a parking site in the beginning. Then you'll see a bit of the potential

You really sold that for £2.5k?

It looks like they have given up on it, there are images missing and the Adsense is all over the place.

I agree - the site looks appalling now! Doesn't look 'informative' at all!

Sure did, the purchaser even announced it on here, he is a member here too. Its the rankings and traffic that created the value, it still ranks high for 'First Time Buyer' http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...e+Search&meta=

I have to admit that the site certainly appears to be monetised to the max now!

Ive just had 1 days figures running at 300% over just half a day.

Im not sure if we are loss-leaders or not and Ive just asked that very question.
