Hey there,
Just posting my small $1,200 website success story..
It all started out when i started searching around for textlinks on SitePoint.com, while doing so i bumped into a guy that had just started profiting off a "web proxy" site. We talked a lot on MSN, i eagerly asked a lot of questions about the hosting, bandwidth, cgi installs, etc.
So within the week, i had already started buying hosting on a virtual dedicated box, a domain, and everything else i needed. Then i setup banners, textlinks from other blogs and pr4/pr5 sites to gain my own PR up. Within a month, my proxy site was almost in the top 5 of every topsite of every proxy! It was running both cgi and php proxy, with no pop-ups or ads. I made over $150 in AdSense within a week.
After this it was all downhill..
After i was poppin huge amounts of traffic, maybe over 150GB bandwidth within that small amount of time i checked over.
I knew I couldnt hold on for long, so i sold it then.
Posted it up on many sites, and i was by far lucky a friend that i play with on some games on my msn list was interested, he offered me $1,200 for it. So i accepted it, and i managed the site for him for a while, but nothing really happened. Right now the sites sitting as a textcloud site :)
But thats how i made a quick $1,200 with not much to give up.
