Why Not To Buy Recycled Adsense Ready Sites
I recently read the article, “Purchasing new Adsense ready site” and felt compelled to blog about this. A recycled adsense site is a website that has content written to perform well with Google adsense. Then the site is sold wholesale to unscrupulous webmasters for the sole purpose of making money with adsense. While I am all for making adsense sites and content writing sites to sell for profit, it is my professional ethical belief that flooding the internet with duplicate content is wrong.
These sites add nothing of real value for the internet community. Sure, the basic content may be useful to the visitor, or the adsense ads that are generated by the content may be of use, but over all it they are a nuisance to people. Finding the same content on four different sites while performing a longtail keyword search is very annoying.
Google’s Content Guidelines
Google wants fresh and relevant sites to crawl and index. Additionally, Google specifically warns against using duplicate content [1] . While some content management systems automatically use excerpts, use blocks of text in other places, or use sequential pages of blog posts and canonical articles, sites that are bought and sold in bulk may be reported as spam and be penalized by lowering the rank or removal from the index all together.
Spamsense Sites Still Make Money
One might wonder, “If Google penalizes or removes a site for spam, how does it make money?” This is actually really easy to answer. First these site use a different advertising system that doesn’t penalize for duplicate content. Second, the webmaster uses an aggressive internet marketing strategy that includes link building, sponsored links, paid traffic generators, paid to read emails (PTR), and paid to surf programs (PTP).
These spam sites do require money to make money. But if the keywords are chosen carefully and the internet marketing is done on the cheap, then they can be moderately successful. And thus the reason these sites are sold wholesale.
Ultimately it is up to the webmaster to decide on the business ethics and how they pertain to internet websites. I highly encourage more research into this subject before proceeding. Not only can one site be banned, but if you have many of these different sites residing on a dedicated server, that server’s IP address could be banned.

Getting Started With Paid To Read Emails
Not too long ago I saw an ad that touted I could make money online just by reading emails. I was thinking to myself, “Yeah right, get paid cash to read emails“. But I knew that it was possible to earn points towards redeeming prizes. So I signed up for a few. Well they weren’t lying. You can earn money by reading emails. Not only that, but I am living proof of that. Here is how it works:
- You sign up for the Paid to Read program, more commonly referred to as PTR. All of the ones I have found are free.
- You decide to either have the program deliver emails to your personal email account or to the sites inbox. I recommend having them sent to your email account. This makes sure you see that you have PTR emails waiting.
- You open the PTR email and click on the highlighted link.
- Once you click on the link, a new page or tab will open up. At that point the top frame will show a timer and the bottom frame will show the web page.
- Take a look at what’s on the page and once the timer is done counting down, you will be credited for that visit.
- You are credited anywhere between 1/4 cent to 3 cents per email. You can generally cash out after $2.00.
It really is that simple! I know what you are saying, the emails don’t pay much at all. And you are right, you won’t make a lot of money fast. But it is ez-internet-money. The following is a list of how much ez internet-money I earned between September 6th, 2009 and October 11th, 2009.
- Dolphin PTR $9.24
- Balloon Mails 2.76
- ADS NET $1.47
- Classical Mail $.92
- Matrix Mail $.42
- Hits 4 Pay $10.18
- Word Linx $.11
The grand total for the five weeks is $25.10. To be honest, this figure isn’t a true representation of earnings potential. Not all sites were subscribed to five weeks ago. Some have only be active for a week. At this rate I will have earned $261.04 for the year. The sites that I signed up for were simply chosen because I found them first. I have found over 35 different PTR sites. If you were to extrapolate this figure, it would be feasible to earn $125 a month.
As you can plainly see, $125/month does not equate to a full time job. But don’t let that stop you from signing up. Each of the above sites offers an affiliate plan. What this means is that if you refer someone to the program, you ear a percentage of what they make. Most of them are %10. Some programs pay you 5 levels deep. For example, if I refer ten people earning %10 of their earnings, I have made equal to the amount I earned by my own clicks. If you continue that out to the 2nd or 3rd level, you can estimate the earnings potential from the exponential amount of referrals that are possible.
I’ll go into depth about how to maximize your earnings with these PTR programs in a later blog. So either book mark this site or add the RSS feed to your reader. I share everything I find freely and openly. No news letter that you will be spammed with. Until next time, best of luck in all of your endeavors.
