Making $$ with templates/scripts? Hmm?

As I'm sure a lot of you know, illegaly downloaded templates/scripts are used, probably just as much as the paid version, there is a very high demand for this kind of download, so why not exploit it?

The most basic way you can do this, is a method I saw somebody else do (Maybe on here?) - Where you intergrate your adsence adverts into the page, obviously they will remove/change them, but who knows, you might get a couple of clicks.

Depending on your knowledge, you can make some real money, if you add a include to your own cookie stuffing URL, then encypt it, so it can't be removed, then 100 people all installed the template, all got 100 visitors a day, 10,000 unique hits to your cookie stuffing page, per day. It's not loads, but I'm sure you could get a bit of money.

If you wanted to go really blackhat, you could do the same thing as above, but with a BHCB page instead, you could setup a tracking system, to see how well each website is doing, then when a website starts to get good traffic, you could change the landing page to BHCB, supplying you used a include/require PHP function, it would apply onto their site.

Just my ideas, thought I'd share something back today

Great share Alex!

I'll try this with my templates collection.

mmmm maybe with a specific profession, like "doctors templates" or "dentist templates".

Yes that's a smart idea, it's a little hard to do for a newbie like me, but I will keep it in mind! You can also put a "Template Installer.exe" in the rar, and monetize it with the methods already posted in the forum. There is a high demand for templates!

encrypted cs is the way to go with this, I had quite a bit of success with it months back

I just read a similar method yesterday in a web2 property article. Very clever idea for those who know what they are doing.
