Anyone got any stats on how long the average site stays well ranked before it gets hit with the fly swatter?

People here are talking about the income as if it's a near certainty. I have had many sites in google over the last 4 years but only half of them are there now.

I remember thinking about buying sites back in 2002 because I thought they would be there for ever. Those are distant memories and so are the sites I wanted to buy.

I am happy when my site is there every morning. To pay 10 months + for a site seems risky in my eyes. Unless you do it in bulk and you know the odds.
