If we had commercials like this one

I wouldn’t see any problem with it.
All the losertarians could get Midol ads.
The internet has spoiled us. Lotsa free stuff out there to read, download and amuse us. We just get used to it and take it as the new norm.
But there are some physical things we pay for, such as newspapers and magazines.
IMO, Free Republic is a news source, much better than the leftist rags people pay for. FR is like one stop shopping in the reading department which has pretty much weened me from news magazines.
My point is, $10 or whatever a month is dirt cheap compared to what I used to pay for hard print governed by the left, where I had to pick and choose.
So I took my own advice and signed up as a monthly donor. I hope others do because I do not want to see FR go away when there is so much important stuff going on out there.
An Amazon.com affiliate link could raise a substantial amount.
Hey folks, pony up. I do not feel my monthly donation, you probably will not either

Adsense Calculator. You could be making $5,000 per month at 1 click on an ad per page view at .02 cents each.
I do not know what an ad click is really worth as it depends on the ad content. But a few pennies will make your site pay for itself plus a yacht for you.
