I received an email today regarding my PPC arbitrage update post, with the question: why didn’t you pay with your creditcard? It’s much faster…

I’ve been reading up on PPC Arbitrage a bit, and although many don’t find it ethical, I’m going to try it out to see if there is indeed any money to be made with this.

A few months ago, I ditched all my blackhat websites. While the money is good, it takes pretty much work to maintain or grow a network of blackhat sites. Maybe I suck at being a blackhat, but whitehat sites with evergreen content are way less work for me.
Anyways, a few months ago I set up […]
