Ok help me understand.... what I don't get is how people are backing it and saying they made like $250 (and what is that? Per month? So far? what?) but in the same post talk about how it costs upwards of $400 to $500 a month to run it.

I'm not just some guy looking in from the outside. I used it way back when it first came out and kept it for 3 months. It's a lot of work, it's expensive as hell, and there isn't really a guarantee it will work since it depends on you spamming google with cloaked domains and hoping they won't catch on. You end up wasting a lot of money on domains that get banned in google pretty regularly and if you're not at least a pretty decent dedicated server admin don't even think about trying this without hiring one.... I happen to be a decent server guy but I am just saying that because I remember being glad I could do a lot of the stuff myself.

Just my opinion from my experience using it.
