I still cheer for the Leafs, though I don't attend any games - due mainly to financial restrictions and not intelligence. It’s true, and I’m a prime example!

Ryan: Interesting idea. So what you're saying is the money is there if you make enough money. If not, then you're out of luck. That's evil...:) Vava: No one said Leaf fans were smart!

With their high threshold for payout they effectively ensure that a large percentage of the users never actually earn enough for Google to have to payout the money to them. Instead they get to keep that cash in the bank, earn interest off it but still say "that money (not the interest) is for the blogger". Pay per action is going to hurt bloggers even more...

Just how much of a cut Google takes is an interesting one. I too doubt that it's up around 70–80%. I read the Caramilk mystery. We don't have that sub-brand here in the UK. There is something very similar though, Cadbury's Caramel. In fact, it's probably the same bar. Thanks for the mention, Mark.

In fact, some would suggest that if the Leafs were to win the Cup their fan support would actually drop off. The real mystery is why teams from Tampa Bay and Carolina can win Cups, or why New Jersey can only get 30 people to show up to their Stanley Cup parades, while Toronto fans jam Yonge Street after almost any post season victory over the Senators.
