Domains are quite cheap, really. So you buy a domain (preferably an
expired one) and put up a page chock full of related keywords, with
Google ads. If you buy the right domains and have the right things on
your page you can break even or make money. If the domain made money,
reregister it, otherwise drop it. Automate, rinse, repeat.
