A great way to make some easy money online is by making an affiliate site on a certain brand or poduct name. I tried this after I read the Google Cash ebook, where the athor mentioned bidding on brand names with Google Adwords. If this worked with PPC surely it would also work with organic search.
To test this method I quickly built a site for a popular weight loss program using Smart Page Generator and linked to it from one of my existing sites with a high PageRank. For every keyword related to the brand name I built a page. Then I redirected the pages to my affiliate link, nothing more. It took me about half an hour to make this site. A couple of days later this site was making me around $100 a day!
Later I stopped using the Smart Page Generator for this method and built more search engine friendly sites using articles for every brand/product keyword. For backlinks I used to exchange links at http://www.linkmetro.com/ but now I mainly sumt articles to http://www.ezinearticles.com/.
The reason this method works so well is because the traffic you get is extremely targeted. With only a few visitors you can make quite a bit of money if the affiliate program pays well.
A couple of years ago an ebook was released describing a very similar method in detail. It is called Niche Marketing On Crack. The main difference with my approach is that the author, Andrew Hansen, uses Wordpress blogs for his sites, while I prefer to build my sites using Xsitepro. His book is an essential read in my opinion.
