A complaint

Come on dudes....get yourself one of the free magazines on offer above. Just click on any link (or even this link here), choose a magazine (there are thousands to choose from in many categories, not just the one you click on) fill out the form and get a freebie that pays me a buck fifty or so, yeah? I've had those banners up there for two days now, and only one person has partaken (thank you, by the way). Just not good enough, I'm afraid.

More seriously, if this sounds pushy I apologize. But now there are a few thousand pageviews here every day, I'm just trying to find a way of making the blog pay for itself as I am a capitalist at heart and all I ask is that this blog pays for itself (which includes the opportunity cost) just to labour the point. I'm not trying to get all heavy on you and asking for straight donations via the PayPal button (which is still there basically because one person send me $10 every month and a couple of others throw over a beer's worth every so often). I like the fact that the magazine thing has the potential to pay a little bit to me while offering you guys something, too.

If it doesn't work and it's not popular, in the end I'll change tactics. But don't worry, I'm not planning on inviting Crystallex to sponsor the site at any point.
