Just because it's on autopilot today doesn't mean it'll still be making money tomorrow.

The one site I have on autopilot is only in that state because it makes enough so I can pay people to maintain it...hehe. Let a site sit around long enough, and in most cases, the traffic will decline.
So true Ricardog! Both of my main sites are pretty much on autopilot but I still work on them constantly (well I must admit I've been slacking on my SBI! site lately...) Things change out here so quickly and you have to keep up and continue to build new content or your traffic will die.
