Operation White Hat
Over in the Keyword Avalanche Forum there are 2 or 3 members (including myself) who have been able to show that it is possible to earn a good AIS income by operating White Hat sites.
I'm sad to say that 95% of the members are into the type of site that uses scraped content, and create hundreds or thousands such sites per day. It is quite simple to do this using the available software for site/blog creation. The downside of such sites is two-fold;
- They are usually plain rubbish - they add no value to the Internet.
- They generally do not last long in the Search Engine Results.
But the tide is slowly turning. By showing that we're able to earn good money on a White Hat basis, the KWA Forum will shortly have a dedicated "White Hat" area and one of the members will be operating a long term case study of a White Hat site, as well as creating an eBook (for KWA members only) showing "how to"…this particular member earns 5 figures per month with a very small portfolio of high quality content sites which are White Hat.
It should be interesting to find out someone elses methods in very fine detail. I know the broad logistics of what this member does to build sites and gain traffic, but cannot wait to see the actual in's and out's. It's a pity that I won't be able to share his methods to non-members of the forum, so, if this post has gotten your juices flowing, head on over and see if you can join the site (or at least join the waiting list). I just checked and right now, the site is still open for access.

Even better - it seems that this particular member has been given free access to the Forum in return for divulging his methods.
But the member has decided to spend that same amount of money on buying products (from the likes of the Warrior Forum) and giveing them away each month to all the members of Keyword Avalanche…
Not only that, but it also seems that the owners of Keyword Avalanche are doing the same. I woke up this morning to find a download link to a video showing how to speed up your install of Windows XP - OK, so it's not going to help me earn an income, but it's a nice gesture on the owners part all the same.
The point is that KWA is slowly changing it's outlook from a "here are some keywords" site to a "we're going to become the only site you need" website.
Obviously this make the $57 cost even better, as you get at least that amount in free goodies every month from now on!
