That was a good way to make some dollars, back during the boom. Banner ads could be sold for $5 CPM or more and all you had to do was compile a bunch of stolen vids/pics that surfers submitted and write some rants every now and then.

I missed the boat, unfortunately. I got one cheque for about $400 from bla-bla.com before they went bust. If it had been 12 months earlier it would have been $2000-$3000
