Don,

Rereading my message I see that I wasn't clear. I was referring to
generating revenue for my clients. I meant that no one has approached me in
my capacity as handling the website.
As to control over who advertises on the site, your point is correct
but on the site there is a comprehensive list of their sponsors. Since you
can pull out at any time, you would just need to keep an eye on the sponsor
list. The last time I looked match.com was the only questionable one. Most
were things like Snapple.
What about the pay rate of $.0075 per unique site visit per day.
Does anyone have any idea about how this compares to what others are offering?

Cheers,
Jeff
