Not stuffing envelopes or medical transcription or even clearing out their attics on eBay.<\/p>\n<p>No, if you can get droves of people to visit your site, you don&#8217;t have to market the latest widgets. You sell Google ad clicks. AdSense places ads on your site for your visitors to see and click.  And every month Google sends you a check for the use of your advertising medium.<\/p>\n<p>OK, maybe a few hundred dollars , if you&#8217;re good?<\/p>\n<p>No, try $5,000 a month for the clicks from visitors to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobiletracker.net\">mobiletracker.net<\/a>, a popular site about cell phones.  It gets about 200,000 visitors a month, as the owner updates a few items every day. From his parents&#8217; livingroom by laptop.<\/p>\n<p>The owner of the site is Jon Gales and he lives with his folks, because he&#8217;s only 19. <\/p>\n<p>Or another site started by an engineer tired of cruddy airline seats. He designed the brilliant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seatguru.com\">seatguru.com<\/a>.  Then he set up Google AdSense for of course, travel ads. (That&#8217;s a very cutthroat category, so there are lots of deep-pocket advertisers waiting for a busy site to showcase their ads.)  He started the site as a hobby and now generates mucho traffic. Zap!  Google AdSense made the site a $120,000 a year business.<\/p>\n<p>Got a new idea for a website that will bring in the crowds? Watch your big traffic stats click you to a Google fortune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just read an older article in Fortune magazine.
