A friend of mine runs several word-press websites advertising products and other items, I'm quite jealous actually, hes making about 4 between 2-5 days.
The more sites you have and maintain the better chances of generating revenue starts to make sense.
Things you need: - An adsense account - Wordpress install - Related domain / Hosting
I guess if you're a decent coder, you could automate the flow with a word-press plugin & some web scraping. It would work especially well if you were to scrape Amazon products, or use their API to produce Amazon Affiliate links and further build up your revenue.
