I'd rather find a few good blogs, comment on them, write better posts myself, etc. I think in the end that will bring traffic and $ as well. Maybe I am wrong though, I don't make much from my blog yet. <em>francetales.com's last blog post..<a href='http://francetales.com/2008/02/28/funny-french-mistakes/' rel="nofollow">Funny French mistakes</a></em> I try not to spend too much time chasing down these types of schemes.

After all, you're talking about keeping the $.02 ad up there as a reminder that you're worth much more while, at the same time, you're perfectly comfortable with "wasting an hour" and then, finally, you find excitement in a $1000/mo contest that you have almost no chance of winning and would surely waste more time trying.... it all seems so self-defeatist. And there was my little ol' comment, misunderstood as a blatant plug, when it was a nice little demonstration as to how not to waste an hour or have to leave $.02 ads up as a reminder that you're worth more. If I ever leave them at that price, it's because I remember what it was like when I found a great deal and I'm glad to allow others to have that feeling. Just like you enjoy giving link love... anyways, since you're only getting $.02 for your ad spaces, and even though you're worth way more, I won't charge you this time. And I'll politely accept that "wasting an hour" is not dissatisfying to you. Thanks for the luv!
