Sy you sell me a two year "membership". If, within the next two years, you stopped providing the service, either temporarly or permanen...

After the Clone Wars, the events of Star Wars: Episode 3 occurred. Anakin Skywalker slew Count Dooku, and became the infamous Darth Vader. After a violent duel, Obi-Wan left Anakin for dead on the lava planet of Mustafar, but Palpatine revived Anakin, giving him his cyber-genetic suit and possibly placed a chip in Anakin’s suit by which Palpatine held the life of Anakin in his hands. (All the means by which Palpatine held Vader in his power are not known, and the chip will not likely figure i...

I started with a site I made out of personal interest. It was online several years before Adsense existed, and since joining adsense hasn't changed. I had no programming skills, but learned just enough to get by in basic html. My site is #3 on google with the main keywords. The income is way out of proportion to what I expected. I started adsense to hopefully pay the hosting costs of the site over a year. I make that in a couple of days now, so there you go. Time and patience has it's rewards...

(I will avoid mentioning names) found that they didn't have to actually pay affiliates anything, they could just make empty promises and people would join. For many companies, the "affiliate program" is just a structured mechanism for allowing people to display their logo on a web site. The sa...
