I decided to see how much money I could make by devoting the entire month of August to building affiliate sites. The goal is to work 7 days a week, devoting no less than 10 hours a day to this. Not much to report other than my shoulder and back are killing me right now.

I am pretty good at the design standpoint. I can create all the custom graphics/logo/etc for each site in under 15 minutes. The site design takes a little longer, but only if I use CSS. The bulk of the time and effort is spent writing content and organizing keyword lists.

In other news, AOL publicly released a database of search terms from 500,000 users. Their identities are supposed to be hidden, but as has been pointed out, people are always doing searches for themselves.
