*I* take you seriously, Ace.

Well, okay, my alter-ego Mister Bojangles takes you seriously.

Don't make Mister Bojangles mad.

Cheers,

Ummm... yeah, there's *that* too.

It just seems to be a model that pretty much encourages that sort of shady gaming.

I mean, honestly, why shouldn't I take the PM money and then start posting at "Smitty's Place"? I could just generate traffic by linking everything I post there.

Hey! My alter-ego is Mister Bodangles. I smell copyright infringement.

You could sign the contract with PM, take their money and then pursue one of two options:

1) Pull a Terrell Owens and demand a renogiations

or

2) Change the entire focus of your weblog for a month to something that Pajama Media does not want to be involved with so that they drop you.

or, if you think your readership is highly gullible, hold a fund drive. Set up a paypal with two options for giving 1) Pajama Media and 2) BlogAds.

Post that which ever choice gets more donations, that's the one you'll go with.

Though - as a bandwidth sucking parasite on your blog, I'd recommend you go with the service which promises the hotter chicks in the ads.

But if your readership decreases or stays the same, WE WILL COME TO YOUR HOME AND KILL YOU AND YOUR PETS

I say hold a drive because of your increased "bandwidth charges". Do it again six months later then become a gobsmacking liberal. That ought to get you pretty well kicked out of PJ media for some sort of false advertsising. then of course complain that youve been railroaded and talk alot about your white blood cell count. Then Blog only about Gitmo, Abu Graib, Gay marriage and the pope.

Classless I know but I couldnt help itand it's late.

18 months?

That's like 30 years in blog time.

How about just releasing a virus/worm/trojan that propagates and creates hits?

From what I've heard so far, PJ Media sounds like an Amway convention without the whole "Speaking in Tongues To Latinos With Embarassing Stains" thing. I could be wrong though; you may want to check your complimentary toast for a Virgin Mary image. (It's free to the first 10,000 who sign up!)

Patton never demanded a legion of a million one-legged blind men in order to achieve victory.

Ok, here's why I joined.

Now, if I want to make money, I have to keep cranking out posts. That is, blog ad revenue is highly dependent on my traffic flow.

I don't know about you, but I don't get enough money from blog ads to justify all the time I spend blogging. I have a real job edumacating the utes of America.

So, if you're like me, then there is a real incentive to locking in a per month advertising rate. I now don't have to worry about fluctuations in traffic.

Since a lot of my traffic comes from Google, mostly because of my vast archives on the religion of peace (with the occasional star wars porn search), I see a lot of traffic fluctuation.

So, for me, it's all upside, little downside.

And the peace of mind knowing I'll have a monthly income that is able to Super Size my value meal at least twice a month is much better than having one month with just enough money to buy an extra Dr. Pepper following a month where I wrap my filet mignon in 100 dollar bills.

Remember, in the end, it's all about the crazy blog money.
