Greg in Maine has a very educational posting and video on his site at Hubpages.com.

At his site he discusses making money on the Internet via a series of mechanisms.

He describes the money hunger, the money hungry and the food chain, and illustrates all this with some clips from Christine's pages (I think that maybe that is Christine in the picture with Greg!) where she is earning 1700/day, nearly 50K per month. . .

He uses endearing terms!

Bottom Feeders

Most of us, scroungers in the mud grubbing for pennies per click read

minnows

mom & pop business websites. They use Google Adsense to get traffic to sell things, kind of like having a site linked to Ebay.

Scavengers

Google and other search engines and Adsense
Content network or context network.
These folks make a lot of money and work at it with all kind of algorithms.

Hunter/affiliates and packs of hunters

These guys provide a link between the customer and the vendor.
They include:
Primary Ads
Commission Junction
CPA Empire
Azoogle Ads

Whales

These are the big companies. They have all the headaches! They have inventory.

They use all the tools above and they sometimes hunt traffic and customers themselves, but they will use Google, Packs of hunters, and any device to get customers. Ford and GM are whales -- but have not figured out how best to use the Internet. This remains a challenge.
