Twingly and AdSense: My “incredibly rich without working” idea

The idea: As a blogger I can add AdSense to my blog to make money, based on hits and clicks. But the dollar per click ratio is rather low, so to become incredibly rich I need a blog with MANY hits per day. So how can I do this? I can start blogging, like I do with the Notorious N.E.R.D blog, but this blog has too few hits to make me rich, or I can experiment with my genious idea: Using Twingly, AdSense and all newspapers of web to gain hits without any work!

A couple of months back, I started using AdSense on my blog as a the first step in my “incredibly rich withour working” idea. Just to learn AdSense, and how to implement it on a web page.
The Notorious N.E.R.D blog, is a serious blog, so I had to make a separate experimental blog to implement my idea. So I created: http://stutand.blogspot.com/

If I have a blog and add a link to an article on e.g. http://www.vg.no/ which is a Norwegian newspaper, my blog will show up on that article, when I register the blog post on http://www.twingly.com/
So I can either write serious blog posts related to spesific articles, or I can just pick articles which I know will have many readers, and just add an link with a provocative heading on my blog post, but no content. I can add a bunch of links in the same post to do even less work, just naming them 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
I have tested a couple of approacheds with both, “serious” content in the spesific blog post, and also other blog posts with a heading which triggers the user to click in the newspaper article, but with no content in the blog post.

Since this idea was to become incredibly rich without and work, I of course landed on the no-content approach. By adding links to 10 different articles on one day at http://www.vg.no/ I was able to get 2500 hits one blog post, and approximately 10 clicks, resulting in approx 10 NOK. Not incredibly rich, but a start….
But this still involved work:

• Create a daily dummy blogpost http://stutand.blogspot.com/
• Go through http://www.vg.no/ to find articles
• Add links to my dummy blogpost
• Register post at Twingly

So my next approach would be to automate this: Create a small application that reads top 10 articles of each newspaper, add the links to a blogpost and register it at Twingly.

If 10 links from one newspaper gives me 10 NOK per day, if I increase the number of links to 30 or 40, I might double the number of hits and clicks, resulting in 20 NOK per newspaper. If my robot do this to 10 different newspapers, it would generate 200 NOK per dag and a total sum of 73 000 NOK per year.
The next step would of course be to try this in other countries as well, doing this in 10 different countries, I would end up with 730 000 NOK! Now I’m starting to get rich!

I have not dare to try the robot idea, as I have not investigated the legal sides of this. I think I’ll stick to my daily work for now….
