I personally dont think the half a million figure is high. In the year 2000 i was clearing 70k a month after expenses. The only reason i dont have that money now is due to a bad business venture. At the time i barely did any advertising on overture.
I know it’s not the year 2000, but when you’re at the highest commission for all of the programs, and you’re blanketing the internet that figure seems reasonable. Do a gambling search on lycos or hotbot.. look who has the top banner. On overture he’s usualy in the top 5.
The actual figure is not really the point. It was just an estimate to indicate what the potential profits are. I also dont think that internet gambling has the highest profit margins at the moment (but it used to) Webmasters in the phramacy industry currently make a lot more. But with overture and google pulling all pharmacy ads that might change.
