If you're talking about zero content and just stuffing ads from offers onto a page and pushing it, then sure, go for it, but you will have reeeeeeally shitty conversions.
There's actually a network that will be having a service like this launched next week or so. I've voiced my opinion on it to them about it not being the best idea out there, but they want to test it out and see what happens. Hey, for all I know, it can do amazing with the right type of traffic, but when someone wants to be that lazy about not sticking anything else but ads onto the site, they tend to be lazy and careless, and out there to take whatever they can get from it. This is part of the reason why domain parking services make so much money on per click ads rather than from network offer ads, because you'll get a lot more quick clicks than you will from something that requires the person to enter information or make a sale. But, I do know a few guys that slap an offer with pretty much nothing else on it except "signup here" and manage to build email lists from it, or get a quick email/zip submit commission from it as well. Again though, that can work both in your favor or against it. If you newsletter their ass later on with other offers, true, they "opted in", but the traffic may be complete shit.
All I'm saying is I'm a much bigger fan of spending SOME time and effort in building a page/site that isn't so 1995'ish with it. Because back in 1995-1998 that's what our landing pages looked like. Just a simple page, ads slapped onto it, and people would click/buy or not. But back then times were different and much simpler but also less understood, so we used what worked for quick cash. Now I would never do that. But that's because I use what works well for me, and has in the past.
If it works for you.. do it. If it doesn't.. don't. It's really just that simple!
