Isn't yackler another name for the dried-up spunk that gets lodged in between the spacebar and keyboard?

Damn. Stupid hoax.

A giant asteroid strike could really have simplified a lot of things for me.

You guise were a few days late on that ones. Think I read several Pokemon/Auschwitz articles on Monday.

Are the clicks still rolling in nicely?

Please reply in detail how the profits works from clicks?

A million clicks made you guys like 10K or..?

A million clicks made you guys like 10K or..?

I wish - and I thought it would be something along those lines, but no. 1.4 million visits is only good for around 1800 Canadian dollorz as I write this. Google pulls all the strings here - they decide what ads go on your site and how much you profit off that. We have zero say in it, apart from deciding how many ads we want per page and where they go on the page.

The visits are dying out already. Our bounce rate (i.e. the number of people who read the one article and then leave the site) is crazy high, around 95%. Same thing happened the last time we went viral.

To make a decent living of it, we'd need to write like 10 viral pieces a month. That's not doable unless we open the site to freelancers, HuffPo style.
