This shows to two things

CPM is soon going to be worthless CPC is going to be the way
to go.

With more and more new bies signing on each day, they will
be overwhelemed by all of this, and soon the eyeballs, that
a CPM pays for, will be worthless - people will soon need to
pay for results.

Of course.. here's also a simple suggestion: Put "Please
visit our sponsor" under the line.. they'll know it's a
sponsor ad :)
