Over the past couple years I’ve bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of websites outside the typical auction scenario. This method takes a lot of time to find websites worth buying (because you’re talking to people who often aren’t even interested in selling). So late last year I wanted to find ways to get more active in buying websites and specifically to try and make more sense out of Flippa.
The purpose of this post is to show you that it’s possible to make money selling anything online. If that wasn’t already made obvious by one of my podcast guests from last year selling worms then I can give you another example from my own personal experience.

Recently a good friend of mine and fellow blogger Spencer Haws wrote that he had been banned by Adsense and lost a multiple thousands of dollars a month income stream. I had just finished publishing the podcast we did together where he discussed his 200+ website portfolio he manages and a few days later he updated his blog with news on the ban.
Spencer is not the only one as I’ve seen banned as numerous other bloggers were banned by Adsense as well including Zac Johnson, Eric Gati, Ghauer Chaudhry and a few of my friends who don’t write blogs but were earning thousands a month with Adsense were banned as well. Pamela does a good job of highlighting the frustrating aspects of working with Adsense to restore an account so I’d like to focus the discussion on something else:

After a few month’s hiatus the podcast is now back (I’ll explain the hiatus in a future blog post.)
Update: Shortly after publishing this podcast Spencer got banned from Adsense! I’ll be addressing this in a future blog post…

Google is always making changes to their algorithm in an effort to display ever more relevant content. The goal of Google is to always focus on the end user experience so if crappy websites are ranking for various keywords it just makes Google look bad for allowing them to rank in the first place. It’s been this way for years and that’s why the game between Google and website owners that optimize for SEO has continued for years.

I set some very specific goals at the beginning of 2012 and every day this year I’ve been focusing on meeting my numbers (feels like I’m back at the old sales job I got fired from lol).
