nah, adsense is useless - the .com page actually only gets about 3-500 visits per day. It's the webservice (the .net) that gets all the hits.

There is a way to monetise it if needed - most of the lookups use the javascript service (65% javascript, 25% php, 8% xml and 2% json). A client js call to my server does mean I could skim.

But I won't. No reason to - the service only allows an avg of 100k lookups per day (auto-script in place to blacklist IPs that are going to be avergaing more than that). Those that genuinely need more I give them and they actually do donate.

So, nah. Won't monetise cos it would never have grown to help so many people had I made it a paid for service. It's about 4-5 years too late to make $ off this, but I don't care. All's good.
