Most people still think that just showing banners get's someone paid (someone gets paid for sure but it ain't us).
BANNER FACTS:
o CPM banners (get paid to show a banner) are virtually extinct (or are only used for popups, which we do not want to use)
o CPC banners (get paid when a user clicks the banner) are paying about $0.01 per click making them almost useless as people just do not click banners as much as they did before (2 years ago).
o CPA banners (get paid when someone buys or signs-up for something from the link/banner they clicked) are the only ones that are preferred by advertisers as they only have to pay when they make a sale. But you need very targetted banners, like DVDXCOPY, to make them profitable... so this is the best deal for the advertiser and the worst for the webpublisher!
Average we get, for the same amount of visitors, about 50-100x less then we got about 2 years back... So you can see the predicament we (and everyone else running a website) are now in

Most of the mirrors we are given do not support scripting that is why GCW is a static website without any scripting. Still it would be possible but it would take some programming (anyone interested
)
