Running ... just keep running!

I think my only concern after the Cool Running Fiasco is that because it is a free site, you don't have anything to lose if I go away, and therefore you don't have any incentive to maintain the site the way it is, which I have to admit is great.

As for Google adsense, I have two sites that have adsense: One site: 20k impressions, 78 clicks, $8.54 last month. The other site: 4k impressions, 24 clicks, $3.19 last month. On average, I'm getting $0.50 per 1000 ad impressions, but I believe some of the key things for a site are a strong site focus and the opportunity for an advertiser to want to place ads on your specific site. YMMV.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
