Flycast just announced the shutdown of their network. I
think I made about $30 from them last year before giving
up on the service. I'm also still waiting for the girl
of my dreams to surf on by my domain, see what a wonderful
guy I am, and to write me and offer to have my children.

Just got asked to join another ad network this week. After
giving the matter careful consideration, I told them I
would be glad to: for $10,000 up front, in a cashier's
check, with no limitations or restrictions.

Let's face it. Internet advertising is going through a
painful shakeout right now. And I, for one, am not inclined
to redesign thousands of pages of inventory once again for
poor performance. So, that's my entry fee: $10,000.
It will undoubtedly go up as the economy worsens.
