Pennies add up!

In just three short days I have made $1.24 from this blog!

At this rate the blog will earn enough to pay for the domain registration in less than three months. I can fill my gas tank every 5 months. I'll be able to pay my monthly cell phone bill in a year.

I don't think it will ever be able to catch up to the debt generated by the Iraq occupation.

In any case, it does feel good to start seeing the pennies add up.

EDIT - due to contractual restrictions from certain corporate entities we are unable to actually speak our minds and expect to get paid.

I understand the stance of the company in question, with all the click fraud nonsense. However, I think that a company with a market cap of $115 billion can figure out a way to solve this problem without muzzling the little guy making a request for his readers to help support his humble labor of love.

Asking your viewers to help out on a free site is not exactly a revolutionary idea. PBS and NPR regularly ask their audiences to help out. All sorts of websites ask for donations. Their is an entire school of software distribution, called shareware, which is based on this concept of asking people for their support.

So, in conclusion. I was in violation of an agreement. However, I can't help but think that there is a better, more content creator friendly, method of solving this problem.



As of post time I'm listening to Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? from the album "Happy Hour" by N-Trance
