Just curious

Can you make money in this biz? Yes

Can you make money by putting up a "couple of good sites that direct people to sites where they can buy services..."? Probably not.

I got back into the biz in the Fall of '03 after a lengthy hiatus. Started over from scratch. It was six months before I was earning enough to cover just my hosting bill.

My best advice, learn how to generate, filter and direct traffic, then you can make money in this business. But don't plan on getting rich, at least not without years of hard work. The days of easy money are long ago gone.
