bridgett, that makes two of us. And yes, I could re-read my Terms agreement but for the rate I'm (theoretically) being paid...I'll pass.Best I can tell, I make a certain amount of money (i.e. a penny per day) if I have enough page views. What "enough" is seems pretty arbitrary. Some days it's 100, other days I have to have 500 before they'll credit me for page views. I think that also depends on the ads.I then make a wee bit more (i.e. another penny or two) if someone clicks on an ad. But I'm not allowed to tell people to click on the ads because that constitutes fraud. The one thing I have noticed is that on days immediately after the ones where my page views exceed 300, then I get the "better" ads--the ones that take up the full space and are in lots of colours. Like the one for . None of my ads are self-selected--the algorithim that places them seems kind of arbitrary. I mean, even if I only have 200 page views a day, those people will still want Revo sunglasses. Perhaps. But on days where I don't have a lot of traffic I get a lot of ads for things like other blogs. ???? Other blogs? Whatev. And yes, I think that discussion of this on the blog is probably nonkosher, but for $19.90 I've not sold my right to free speech. I think. Maybe I ought to re-read those terms after all.
