One major product sells for $147, and has sold more then 500+ copies, another product is completly free, but your created pages have adsense on them with this companies id (although you could automate the creation, download them all to your harddrive, use a 'find and replace' in Dreamweaver or something simmilar, and replace them all with your ad codes in seconds).
As a avid affiliate marketer who relies solely on the SERPs, you probabaly know exactly what I'm refering too. Otherwise, it may be a new idea/concept to you.
Even as simply a websurfer, you've more then likely run into this new-age of doorways, promising to be content-driven resources, instead of spam. When, according to some, it's just KW spam that has been dressed up and hidden better, but to others, it's perfectly legit, useful, and well-needed.
At an age when these next-gen doorways have become as ubiquitious as that well-known 'ppc search portal' back in the day, what is everyone's opinon on this new (arguably spam) tactic, which has worked so effectively in recent times?
Do you use them? Do you hate them? Sound off!
if you could plop down 149$ and make thousands, lots of people would be doing it. the more that're doing it- that're doing it in an almost identical way- the harder it's going to be to make money with it.
I know exactly what program fidibidabah is talking about. I have never used it or bought it... But some people that I respect ARE actually making thousands with it. How long will this program last or for that matter site built around it?
That is the question.
C.K.
what on earth are you talking about?:)

I have pages on one site at a not very cleverly hidden url that I use for keyword research that works in a similar way, only difference is I dont spam the search engines and dont have any banners on it.
When I first saw one of the products I thought it would be useful for seeing which phrases are worth working on with real content, but then I saw more and more of them arrive in the serps and I changed my mind. I hope the G dudes with their collective PHDs are clever enough to spot these.
They do create lots of pages (with internal links) but surely this is not enough to rank ..
About 2 years back, it was effective enough to get our gambling site clients 200+ top-5 listings for keywords they chose.
I would NEVER condone using such methods, and I regret ever being involved in such a product -- though it was rather impressive.
I did use a pretty well known program to create 'doorway' pages when Alta Vista was popular.
Is it the same one? Any more clues?
I've seen cloaking software that does basically the same thing except the users don't see the jibberish content. probably a better solution if you were going to use a tool like this.
As chrisgarrett mentioned it helps to have incoming links as well.
