Well the thing with adware traffic is that you need a load of it to make a lot of money each day and it has to target correctly.

For example, if you get a lot of teenage girls to either intentionally or unintentionally install your adware, you'll find a lot of success popping a free maybeline lipstick offer email submit when they search for cosmetics keywords or relevant sites like Sephora.com or VictoriasSecret.com.

The people I know personally that do thousands of dollars a day all have the same thing in common. They get thousands of installs a week, some even a day, and they target the right offers.
