There are four different types of sites:
1. basic non-mover sites: who cares! http://www.creative.com is a good example. Don't bother with these site, unless they happen to fall under 2.
2. dugg, etc. sites: a front page site on digg will normally jump between $200 to $1000 a day. If you can pick these up, then good for you. But the competition is fierce, and mostly reserved to compulsive diggers and other scripters. I personally do not use these and I'm doing fine without them. I guess you could also include the porn sites, used with thehun.net (never used that either). This is the most time consuming technique, but also the most productive, i.e. $1M in one week is a piece of cake at the beginning of the season. These sites normally have the best growth rate (150%-15,000%).
3. cyclicals: Aah, my bread and butter. You gotta love cyclicals. Combine these with any other technique whenever you have leftover cash. When you start going into cyclicals depends on how good you feel you are. Cyclicals have a relatively low return on investment (10-40%), which is why you shouldn't go into them right away. However, they are extremely reliable, and can be very high priced (which is good when you have several 100Ms to invest). Cyclicals can be risers or downers. (meaning they tend to go higher every peak or lower every peak. Riser cyclicals are, i daresay, the shit. To find cyclicals, the best thing to do is to look at the top players' portfolios. Whenever you see a good cyclical site, watch it, and add a tag to it to allow quicker reference. Don't be surprised if your watch list reaches 500 sites. You should start watching right now for the better sites. There are two cycles, generally speaking: weekend and weekday cyclicals. Think about what a good weekend cyclical could be (cartoons) and then search for those kinds of sites online.
4. jumpers: great sites to buy, but hard as hell to find. Most of the time, you'll have to get these off someone else. There is a list of some great jumper sites available. The best source to find them is the daily top gainer and loser lists. These sites can really make a difference, but they can be dangerous, especially since you have to hold on to them for such a long time. So they can end up costing you more than just buying plain old cyclicals. I recommend buying these cheap, but don't try to beat someone with 4 times your money to them... unless you're the only one to watch them.
