     So you decided to quit your day job and you want to stay 
     home and just write blog entries. But the mortgage calls.
     So you have decided you will put ads on your website and
     make a living that way.....

     Or so the story goes. 

     What actually does it take to put ads up on your website?
     What kinds of traffic do you have to have to make it worth your time?
     Are there any real life examples of how ads on websites work?

     Our three speakers have been spending some time looking
     at putting ads or donation buttons  up on their websites. 

     Dave has a wordsearch puzzle that thousands of students
     and teachers have discovered. With all that traffic, can
     he get people to donate?

     Look at this linux lug wordsearch puzzle and see if you can 
     find the words:

     What is dave's experience with converting traffic into
     revenue.

     Come hear Colleen, Shannon and Dave talk about the 
     revenue experience they have had and see what
     the tools that they used are, including paypal
     and google ads.
