"Basic SEO"?
akrymski: I also see ads that say "mom working from home earns $500 a day online!".  If it was so easy to make "instant $50/month" then I'd just sit there and set up a new site every day for a year, and then retire.  Truth is - there's no get-rick-quick scheme that runs on auto-pilot.  A site isn't just a domain, you have to publish content on it, you have to continuously improve SEO and gain links, you have to invest in the domain, hosting, bandwidth, time, content, links, etc, etc.First decide how much an hour of your time is worth.  Then decide if an investment in this website is worthwhile.
