I recently removed my Matched and Project Wonderful ads from this blog. As you may have read Matched has quit business, but before they did I was able to get $13.60 out of them. Project Wonderful is still in business, but I apparently did not follow their terms of service[TOS]. Consequently they suspended the ad boxes associated with this blog. Although I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong I do have a suspicion. I'm thinking that my paid posts through SocialSpark may be the reason.
If that is the case I'm fine with it because I earn more through SocialSpark than I do through Project Wonderful. I still have Project Wonderful ad boxes on some other blogs that I have not used for SocialSpark.
Another failed source of revenue was Webmasters4freebies. I earned a little bit over $25.00 before my blog was removed.
So now it is time to look for new revenue sources. Wish me luck.

Matched.co.uk has closed
The following is an excerpt of an email that I received from Matched. It is unfortunate that yet another of my sourced of income has dried up.
It is with much regret that we announce that Matched.co.uk has closed.
Matched has been running as a beta experiment for some time and, after much careful consideration, it has been decided not to progress the project to the next stage.
As a result, Matched will not be accepting new sign-ups and will no longer be assigning adverts to its current publisher base.
If you completed your last payment run before November 19th 2008, you will still be paid, but please note that no future payments will be made after this. Therefore, we recommend that you remove any Matched ads from your websites.
Thank you very much for being part of the Matched.co.uk experience and we wish you the best of luck for the future success of your websites.

Do you use Prosper?
The following is information posted on the Prosper website....
Prosper Filing Registration Statement; Enters Quiet Period Prosper has started a process to register, with the appropriate securities authorities, promissory notes that may be offered and sold to lenders through our site in the future.
Until we complete the registration process, we will not accept new lender registrations or allow new commitments from existing lenders. If you're an existing lender, your current lender agreements will be unaffected; your existing loans will continue to be serviced; you'll be able to track and monitor your loans; and you'll be able to withdraw funds from your Prosper account.
If you're a borrower with an existing loan, you will continue with your current borrower agreement and be unaffected by the registration process. If you're a borrower seeking a loan, you will still be able to create a new loan listing, which we will endeavor to fulfill through alternative sources. As the appropriate securities authorities may consider a new loan listing to constitute the offer of a security, we are unable to post new loan listings on our site until our registration statement becomes effective.
A successful registration can take several months, but we assure you we will do our best to move forward as quickly as possible. Until this process is complete, we're required to be in a quiet period and will be unable to respond to press, blogger or other inquiries about Prosper or the registration filing until it becomes effective.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and want to thank you in advance for your understanding and support.
.....I use Prosper and have been happy with the results. I hope that the registration statement become effective soon.

Coming soon...Florida's Beach Bum
Beach_Guy, Michigan's Beach Bum, has recruited another beach bum. We are currently setting up the web site for him. This will be another WordPress install at www.floridasbeachbum.com. The site is up and running but he needs to select a theme for it and start posting entries.
I've setup the domain forwarding from the domain to the server where it is hosted. It may take an hour or so for it to propagate to the DNS servers. Once the theme and initial posts are complete I'll make another announcement.
