My favorite day was the look on the bank cashiers face when she saw I was cashing a $4,000 check from Fuck Productions - anyone rember who ran that one?

There may have been special promo days when they paid $.25 a click-through, but $.12 or $.13 was a bit more normal. Even so, it was good money. It was a snap to get traffic to a site then, too. Many a person who couldn't market their way out of a paper bag were making hundreds of dollars a week back then, and those with real talent were pulling in thousands.
And before anybody tries to run any bullshit past me about XPics, I should tell you I worked for them for a few weeks as a webmaster relations guy. And that was after I'd been one of their webmasters (promoting them) for about a year.
As it turned out, it was all smoke and mirrors and the gov't shut them down. They made their money by making it easy to join their sites and difficult to cancel,
