Hi Ziya,

I was going to pull AdSense out of my ear, and thought "no, it is too 
obvious" then thought "what the hell" then totally forgot about it. 
Thank you for mentioning it :)

I would add... "And you couldn't run 5-10 AdSense terms against matching 
seperate domains to see which one worked the best and whether some/all 
of them beat traditional scattergun marketing, just to test the 
boundaries of what is possible without registration, right?" :)

AdSense is mentioned in awe in a lot of the recent spate of "Make 
Millions Instantly As An Infopreneur" programs.... because against all 
reason, it seems to work :) Nothing like a qualified buyer beating their 
way to your doorstep.

Cheers, Andrew
