Ask HN: Made for Adsense (MFA) Sites
It's hard to get the skinny on exactly how viable this business model still is considering the amount of outdated information on google.
Does anyone currently operate an MFA site(s)? Can you do an AMA? Is it still a realistic business model if you're just looking to generate say 1-2K per month?
- atgm 16y agoIf Google doesn't screw you over and shut down your account for some reason without telling you why or giving you someone to talk to, then yes, you should be in the clear. I'm just in the bitter, vocal minority here, though.
- naithemilkman 16y agoSo you're operated MFA sites before? How was it? Do tell!
- atgm 16y agoI tried operating a normal site using AdSense; it got a decent amount of traffic before Google killed my AdSense account. I never got any of the money out of it, Google never responded. This was about six, seven years ago now. To this day, I am unable to use AdSense.
- naithemilkman 16y agoCan you not just re-make a new google account with a different credit card?
- atgm 16y agoI suppose I could, but if they realize I did it (same address, same name), I'd just get banned again. It doesn't seem worth it.

- naithemilkman 16y agoMaybe don't build a long term business on top of a sand castle
