#122ConvertCsv.com ( http://convertcsv.com ) brings me in $600-$800 a month just on google ads and one recent affiliate link. The site converts delimited data into different formats. Written completely in HTML and JavaScript. It's been out there for several years and has steadily increased in traffic.
Awesome idea! How did you initially advertise the site?
I've never advertised, but number one google search ranking for most keywords associated with CSV helps tremendously.

I want to get into Affiliate Marketing (especially Mobile Marketing) but where ever I look, it seems like just scamming people off their money. Are there any ethical and legal offers you know of?. Not only white hat, I mean really ads that bring something a user wants and want to pay for, rather than the "lose 10kg in 2 weeks ebook".
The barrier to entry to almost nothing so the "industry" is extremely saturated and full of "work from home" and "passive income" pipe dreams. It's still a ton of work and research to start making any sort of consistent monthly income and it's not passive at all. You'll be constantly tweaking, testing, switching ads...creating new websites and content, etc. Warrior Forum and Wicked Fire are the main places to get a feel for what people are doing. You'll also get a feel for the other people in that space - they just have a scammy, creepy feel.
