If anyone else (like me) does this part time, they know how rough the last couple of years have been in corporate America. The company I work for just announced that no one is getting a raise in pay next year. They've cut back on perks that mean about $25k less income in 2010. It's a short-sighted move to please Wall Street and many employees are talking about leaving once the job market picks up again.

On the other hand, Google has been good to me. I was surprised when money was deposited into our account on Wednesday - thanks Google!

We've all read threads here about eCPMs, CTR and revenue dropping. I just want Google to know there are a lot of us that are thankful they run such a great program.
