Thanks Guys, just keepin it real....

OP- As far as the whole AB thing, I have about a dozen and I think they are great for free fresh auto traffic. However unless you put in a whole lot of work they don't seem to be the magic answer to making serious money. I've been researching the mini site concept and think it has better potential for earning some serious cash.

Quote from one of my post...
G will show you much love on that LLL domain but you need to get your name out there a bit. Make a YT account with the same name as your site and do some vids, get as many YT friends as you can. G will start to come around... Make a myspace with the same name. You can make a free proboard forum. Facebook, twitter, Link in sig on other forums... connect, connect, connect....lol
Your like a gas station in the middle of the desert, build some roads and people will come...lol
Use 3 keywords per page no more. Then make sure those 3 are on the page plenty. When you AB stick with hot topics like 'fort hood shooting.' I hate to use that example but you see what I'm saying???
I have one Ab that is getting lots of traffic because of a AB post about eminem. So I milk it and find more crap on him.. If it's hot in the news you need it on your site... The bigger the story the more traffic you'll get. Especially Cleb Dirt, they love that crap...
Oh, get / allow comments even fake a few who cares, just so it looks busy/popular...
Watch g-analytics closely, react to any spike in traffic, feed it more of the same topic...
Hope this helps...
