"It's all fun and games until the mania ends, and then people start going to jail for this sort of thing." Kissy - To me that's part of what is so perverse about this whole thing. Web Site Banner Ads are a Joke when it comes to Revenue..... When they pay 3 cents a click through,,, High end 5 cents a click through,,, If you're really lucky 7 cents a click through,,, I refused to run an ad because i wanted 25 cents a click through for a really dense demographic group of click-throughs with a very high probability of sales. The buyer refused to go higher than 7 cents. I'm thinking, Shit, 50 thousand hits,(my monthly average) with a 3 percent click through rate, (high end) and that's a whopping 107 dollars! That doesn't even pay for my Mindspring Airtime! I mean even if you multiplied that by 100 times..... and talking 5 million hits with a 2 percent click through,,,, paying 5 cents a click through,,,, and my goodness....you have a website making 3 thousand dollars a month! whoooooeeeeee. Geeze. There are so many advertisers out there that want to pay you squat! All that matters is who has the traffic...and how you can divert that traffic....It's a crazy world!
