Here's another you've probably never heard of.

(Guy owns some websites you've likely never heard of, not getting masses of traffic, but he knows how to do PPC and make money).

The thread is from 2005, and at that point he was spending $300k a month on adwords, and making a ton more from affiliate networks including adsense. (Attached bank statement screenshots)

I did the same for a while (Ad arbitrage), and got up to about $2k or so profit/month, but as odd as it sounds, it didn't really seem fulfilling. Probably the lack of contact with real users etc.

There's money in this 'advertising' thing though ;)

What's a good place to start learning about this, if you wanted to try it out? The site you linked to?

I have a suspicion I would suck at this or would not be willing to stick it through long enough to be successful - sounds like a lot of busywork - but I'm definitely curious to know more.

hm...if it's "busywork" you'd think it would be computationally tractable.

That, would be interesting.
