At my first encounter as a webmaster, I have made a portal about a niche. At that time I am still new to webmaster stuff. I don’t know what is right and what is against ethic.

That’s lead to a spam portal at which all of the content is stolen from other blogs and online newspaper. For some reason, the portal is well ranked in Google despite all of the duplicate contents. It even was listed in Dmoz directory. This maybe due to the efforts I put for link building. I even manage to detect some government forum and blog that have do-follow and then put a few comment just for link juices.

Perhaps this lead to Google think the portal to have some kind of relation with government and thus treat it has priority site. In just one month I easily get PR 2. Being a naive and selfish, I submitted the portal to Text Link Ads and got approved. I am sure you would be amazed for the price that some advertisers are willing to pay for a PR2 spam portal. I managed to get USD 15 for three links. That is quite cheap but somehow this is more than I expect for

a website with duplicate contents.

This is also the reason of increasing number of spam blogs in nowadays blogosphere. To reduce the risk of duplicate content, those sp bloggers use ‘article spinner’ software that can any article with different terms. Those sp bloggers become lazier when they use automated plug-in to automate their job.

Within a few months, Google bots start give page ranking to websites. And once their website got PR, that is the time to harvest their ‘hard efforts’ of using automated task.

Lets say that they get USD 15 for a website, how much do you think they can get for 10 websites?

The tips to pull this trick is just to find a niche that has high demand but less number of competitors (websites) out there.
