Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes In the past, some people made a lot of money with Google AdSense with the following technique. They’d build a gigantic number of sites and pages around niche keywords, with no content of any value or even gibberish. AdSense links were featured on the sites and were the reason for the sites’ existence. AdSense links were the main, genuine content for these sites.
