It's been a while since I have been here, and I need to explain that, but first I want to say how blown away I am at the level of cutting edge stuff going on.

I learned SEO/SEM from the bombers and from a black hat named Earl Grey, who also has a forum but personally walked me through the whole deal.

That was years ago. So I have whitehat sites that I use LOTS of different strategies for, some make lots of money, some don't.

I even use ppc for some of my whithat sites, my point is I use any and every tool at my disposal.

So, a few years ago I started doing this and I stayed up all night for many, many nights reading EVERY post in this forum.

I also bought every bomb and tuel known to man.

Needless to say my wife was pissed, and stayed that way for a while.

So last year My gross revenue of this website stuff was 176,000. In fact, I am selling one of my white hat sites and have fielded offers between 75k-to 100k. That's for one site!

And I still have a long ways to go. I make mistakes everyday and I have a whole slew of dud sites and ideas that never worked. But as I found out recently, so does everyone else, including the gurus like Mike Filsame, etc. I sank 8k into a top notch white hat website that was turned into a dud, and it killed me, then I put $30 and 10 hours into a site that made me thousands. Still to this day I have never had a profitable affiliate site that used ppc, and have never gotten an adsense check that made the work worthwhile. I will say you can take a cpa offer, bomb out a few niche sites, and be well in the money fast.You can then sell the site and repeat the process.

So as I do my thing, with a world of all types of knowledge about how to make money on the web, I keep going back to the the bombs/tuelz, but also the strategies behind them.

So, if you're new or are not so new but haven't gotten the hang of it yet, stick with it. I was in the car business, working 70 hours a week and making over 100k per year and when I told my friends and family I was going to make more on the internet than the car business could ever make me, they thought I was crazy. Even when your wife gets mad because you stayed up till 3 every night, stick with it and keep building sites.

I will say this, build sites that have definite plan. Have an income goal for the site, a monetization strategy in place, and a time frame. This will keep you from getting frustrated and in profit.

So I come back to this forum, and I am blown away by the way that it has kept up with the trends. For example, the blackhole stuff is very powerful and very underground. I know blackhats who have been using this exact method and are pissed that others know about it.

The thing is, on the black hat forums I used to frequent, when I go back to poke around it's the same old thing, NOBODY wants to share the good info, because it will only add to the competition and reduce the effectiveness of the strategy. Newbies ask questions and get frustrated.

Here I see it is a much different story. This is the only forum I know of where the info is freely shared, and it's worth money. I could package the info here and sell it for 97 a month easy.

So I just wanted to say hello again, and a sincere thanks to Kurt and the whole bomb posse!

Thanks for the post. New Bombers should follow your example.

These strategies and programs worked 5 years ago, and they work today. While other SEM systems come and go, old school bombers are still doing well.

It may take a few extra hours of learning, but that is the power of Bombing. If it was easy, it would be easy to ban.

But honest ask yourself...Isn't it better to work a couple of extra hours this week and have long term results than to press a few buttons and have all your work banned in the near future?
