Are you one of those desperate website owners who want to make it big instantly? Well, the term “making it big” is subjective, and in this case the key phrase pertains to earning big cash instantly from a small investment. If you are one of these people, then here’s one trick you should be able to master: create cycle sites.
Cycle sites are sites that, yes, form a cycle. Primarily created to provide fast cash at a short period of time, these sites are also programmed to recycle themselves and transform into link launderers. Yes, you will be creating a monster dreaded by most white hat disciples, but when that time comes you already are rich. These sites last usually for 3-4 weeks and earn you a lot of money, but afterwards they die out since they will be of no use to you. By repeating the same process, expect your gains to grow massively.
Now, do cycle sites start to tickle your interest? Then here’s how to create them:
1. Download a blog software of your choice (preferably Wordpress).
2. Purchase a domain relevant to a generic niche you chose. The more generic the niche, the more you can use it on your up sites.
3. Redirect the domain to your server and create a script that sets up the account, uploads and launches the blog software, MySql database and fulfills the overall installation.
4. Provide an “ant” script which logs into the blog software install and enables the Autopost plugin and Adsense deluxe plugin. The script should be able to configure them as well.
5. Have the script enabled to do automatic selections of templates from the blog software list.
6. Bring in a long list of RSS feeds. You can do this by using RSS aggregators like Google Blog Search: Microsoft.
Take note that in Wordpress, the WP-Autopost plugin is no longer available on the list of plugins. However, you can still activate this by creating the right script, and it provides you with a long list of RSS feeds which you will need, and from there it will make scheduled posts using your content. It also creates a trackback request for each and every blog entry it copies.
The Adsense Deluxe Plugin meanwhile is another Wordpress feature that modifies the chosen template and automatically includes Adsense into it. Just indicate your publisher ID when doing this.
What happens next?
In a short period of time, you will receive a high amount of incoming traffic to your site, majority of them rooted from the trackback links from the posts. If you were able to get the correct RSS feeds on your niche, then you may get as much as 50-100 visitors per day on your first week. The Adsense ads should also pull in a significant 2-5% CTR on the incoming traffic. These sites will eventually get complaints however, thus it is best that you set up a fake hosting provider on your name servers so that the complainants would face someone else, not you.
These cycle sites usually make $1-5 a day, thus if you have around 50 of these then you can make up a minimum of $50 per day. Through these earnings you can move forward to make a bigger investment by providing them with their own server. Repeat the process until the server gets capped out. Every time you throw a site, dump it on an empty page along with its keywords and a few ads so that small bucks would keep coming in. This also keeps the server alive and moving, and of course continuing to make profits for you and your other future projects.
Remember that when you create the cycle sites, they will eventually get a lot of sticky links as time passes by. However, while they get sticky links, they also bring in a lot of traffic to your own site, hence you receive big revenue in an instant. The secret however for these sites to continue making money is by having the right RSS feeds, as this is where they will get their traffic.
There are some sacrifices which you have to consider in creating cycle sites, one of them is losing Adsense accounts mainly because your cycle sites have the tendency to become potential spammers. To avoid exerting much effort on this technique, you must learn to make friends with automation, as auto-post commands lessen your burden in doing regular updates on your cycle sites. There is actually no need for manual maintenance for these sites as they eventually die in the end.
Finally, keep in mind the role of the fake host provider. Most bloggers would complain about you stealing their content via RSS feeds and dealing with them personally would only put your business in peril. Hence indicate a fake host provider so that they would have someone else to bug aside from you.
So, are your ready to make money that fast and easy? Then create your cycle sites now!

Wow, what an awesome idea. I'd never even considered sites like that and always thought trackback links were silly. Great suggestion!

I've considered doing something similar before. Good post. Could you elaborate on point number three and on the fake hosting provider part?

So nice idea but it is not easy to understandable.

One of the dirty little secrets on the net is the income that can be made from throw away websites. $2.00 a day seems like a waste of time unless you are talking about thousands of websites.
Great post.

Hmmm, that's a VERY insightful piece, Ahson. As they say – you rinse and repeat to success,
. But seriously, as awesome as this idea looks, what beats me is that MOST people will read this and shrug their shoulders and NOT implement it. Why this happens is always surprising. Heck, lots of people even pay money to buy good ebooks/videos but don't implement the strategies taught there. Pretty strange. Anyway, this for sharing this, Ahson.

I agree sounds like a great idea but I also had a hard time following it.

I actually feel that this is blackhat as you are making money by stealing other people's content – doesnt run well by me – unique content is the way to go

I’ve got this bookmarked for a better reading later, but just now I’m too busy with school and rehearsals to really focus on what you’re saying. I’m intrigued, but I need to think about it a lot more before I throw in my 2 cents.
