LOL I completely forgot where I saw it until now... but the point still stands. :) Addendum - One place I read about using online dating site banners was in an exchange of comments between me and someone else on your blog here(!).

I've been FARK'd but not Dugg - hopefully I'll put something together that'll make it there soon. As you've indicated, massive traffic booms can be tough to make money from and you're fortunate to have a CPM profit source. That's gotta be one of the best ways to earn some cash when receiving a ton of (potentially) generic traffic and lookie-loos. I've also read someplace that popping on an online dating site affiliate banner can earn a few bucks, since that's something that can appeal to the general public and have a decent affiliate program. (i.e. they will even pay if someone clicks thru and signs up for a free membership) Not the most fantastic option, but something worth considering for others who are scrambling to capitalize on a sudden flood of traffic.
