Default What type of websites make the most money?

Just curious. You don't have to reveal all your secrets here but I am wondering what type of websites would you say make the most money?

eCommerce sites selling tangible goods
blogs
forums
directories
dating sites
proxies
sites offering tools
etc...

What's your take???

i think proxies
because :
1- you start receiving visitors after day
2- start earnings in second day
3- in third day you can sell it
and open a new one

I heard that it is easier to get banned from adsense when you have proxies on your site. I have no idea why it is so or whether or not this is a true statement (I have learnt to take things that are being said on the internet with a grain of salt).
Does Google adsense dislike proxy websites???

Proxy sites have saturated the internet. I don't think it is as profitable as before. Besides maintaining a proxiy site is a big headache because you must have at least a VPS account to run your proxy site. Ecommerce (selling tangible and non tangible goods and services) I think is the most profitable online business.

Online business sites are the most profitable around I think, webmaster or other sites offering free stuff are also often visited, therefore more profitable. I don't know if making a proxies site is a good idea.

I only think that the sites which get content from its visitors do really make a lot of money. For example there is funny site called mylot which has more than 70 thousand members who do not have any work but do posting all kinds of things on that site. And the site owners regularly make money and delete the old content to avoid paying users.

I think what matters is not so much the nature of your website, but rather what superior value your website has to offer over your competitors.
This is where innovation, creativity and an intimate knowledge of your customers' needs would come in handy.
It is possible to carve out a niche for your own website regardless of its nature and achieve high profitability.

Proxy are not allow to google adsense. I think forums can make huge money. And p2p sites also.

for forums you need to get high traffic and the click through is also low. Compared to it blogs can make lot of money.
