How did i make my first $100 online ?

i`ll skipp the story about my early beginnings with stupid google adsense and all that PPC crap.

A couple of years ago i had my little personal simple but fancy website with paid dot.com hosting. All made in HTML and ASP (in fact not even asp in that time).
All i had was a bunch of stupid subpages and categories. Not even a houndread of them. Just some random tutorials about IT and web design and software.

Made it all to be easy to navigate and click on the next one, put on some Adbrite pay per impression ad spaces. The advertises bought it emediatelly and in couple of months i`ve made my first $20 ! Now, if i wasn`t so stupid and continued with the process of duplicating that "little" sucess, then probably i wouldn`t type this post now would I ?

Oh! i`ve just remembered. It wasnt just that, i`ve made some primitive but fancy looking blog gadget which was hosted on my website and people would take it and put on their blog and basically it was something like those "followers" thingies people has on their blogs. The only difference was that mine was made with use of html and iframes and there was an invisible iframe which was loading the hidden html site from my server, loaded with Adbrite PPI banners as much as posibble. (3 of them per site). And that was the most successfull moneymaker idea i`ve been using.
