My first serious money was made in high school, online advertising scams! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

A couple friends and I setup a few legitimate web sites that were advertising driven and designed/hosted some websites for a few random companies. These were almost all break even or losing ventures.

I "expanded" the business by using our advertisers on password pages for a warez hotline server I ran. Basically forced people to click on the banners to get the password so they could download my warez/pron/music/etc. I also clicked on the banners a ton myself from various computers at school/etc. Unfortunately we got caught by our advertiser after a couple weeks of this. They cancelled our account - but they still paid us in full!

I also did my first money with a variation of this, I had a games website and an mp3-website and had some banner ads deal for the games site. I then put a zero pixel frame, that loaded the banner ad link, on the mp3 site. 12 cents for each visitor. I was 12. Stopped doing it though because I thought it was wrong.
