I know I have been MIA on WF for some time now. However, I have been more active in affiliate marketing and web marketing than ever. I have actually been doing more local marketing. I am currently working on a site right now that is geared toward UNLV. The school has 27k plus students, all of which who can benefit from this site. I am monetizing it by selling ad space to local businesses who target college kids and by sending the users a newsletter with offers in it. It has been really good so far, you guys should try hitting the local market too.
