Making Money with Download sites....

Hello everyone ,
I m an old member of this forum , I m from INDIA. I m trying to make money from adsense sites but recently i have noticed that sites like soft32 and softonic are running adsense ads where as they are providing downloads of those application which are not created by them..

So i have also decided to start a website like softonic and earn some $$$$$.

and I also want to know that is this allowed ??

What do you think guys will this be a good method of earning money ?


If i have violated any rules in this post then please forgive me and inform me i'll correct it ASAP.

Very tough niche there mate! All the big dogs have been doing it since the 1990's, from from Tucows to CNet. Unless you do something really unique, it'll be hard to compete.

You'll have to work harder than anyone on this forum to compete with those guys, and other site in the same niche.

Do you have any plans on how to get your traffic ?

Go for it mate... maybe you will make something that stands out.

Thanks you all for getting involved into this topic and for ur your suggestions...
I really respect peoples who do care and suggest others..

Actually I have a Plan from creating websites like that and getting traffic...
I can get traffic from Organic sources like google but i will have to work harder on Search Engine Optimization
Second traffic source will be Youtube.
Earlier in my life i have worked on PPD niches and use to derive huge traffic from youtube.
and these are whitehat niches so i thing i will be getting some good amount of traffic from youtube.
third traffic socure will be facebook.

I agree with the fact that i will have to work hard but as i have noticed that download sites get more organic traffic then others because these are free apps but the peoples searching on google doesn't know that they are cracked or containing license info with them.

for emaxple : if they are searching " download IDM" then i can see some mixed results on top some results from free apps sites like softsonic and soft32 and at bottom i can see some blachhat blogspot sites with providing crack with them. I want to include my website on the list tooo and it will be a whiteHat website with just free apps like softsonic,soft32, CNET etc ...
