Just following up on this, all of the text ads out there have expired now. The K5 ad ran out two days ago, the Fark ad ran out yesterday, and the Ad Farm ad (which mostly ran on a site called Diesel Sweeties, but also included a few other similar sites) ran out today. So any traffic you see here today is "baseline".

The K5 and Fark ads were as much to support those sites as anything. The Ad Farm, which was only $10, was experimenting with this new phenomenon, the text ad, which I really hope takes off in a big way. I think the experiment was successful and I'm gonna throw $10 towards it every once in a while when we need to encourage new visitors.
