I'm also glad that one banner was adequate. Compensation would have to be quite high to make up for more than one of those banners.

Have you seen much traffic driven from Forbes.com?

You can just have that one, and the selection of ads they run is actually getting deeper, so I thought I'd give them a whirl. Over the past month they've actually produced a decent enough chunk of change. I'll keep them around for a bit longer I figure to see if it increases. The big thing was the change of advertisers they had on the site. They fit well now with the "personal finance" realm I think much better than before. @NtJS – I probably should have posted something about it and may still, but I have recently given them another stab because I did hear back from her regarding some of my questions, and you DON’T have to have more than 1 banner up.
