It's really interesting to hear from the other side of the fence. I can completely understand the temptation to get in on the racket. I wouldn't mind having a little steady cash inflow to help fund me while working on important projects that don't pay off yet. My real qualm is with Google and their lax standards for ranking results. If there's a way to make a buck, someone is going to do it. It's up to Google to ensure that they are preventing abuse and producing a quality product. Hey, thanks for sharing! It’s really interesting to hear from the other side of the fence.

Once I realized that Google allowed this, the party was on and website content became quite an easy game. AdSense started rolling in soon after. However.. I have always believed this will one day end. How could it not? If Google continues to allow it, 90% of the web will eventually be scraped content. Therefore... I work hard on my original blogs as much as creating new scraped sites. I know many hate this.. but if they were getting my Google paycheck every month, I have a strong feeling that the almost overwhelming majority would suddenly not say a word. It's just the way of the web.... for now. Fully agree.. and guilty party here! Once I realized that Google allowed this, the party was on and website content became quite an easy game.
