Wow! My mac.com homepage was floundering. A few friends would check out the site every now and then when I told them new stuff was up. I added the hit counters to my pages a couple of weeks ago, and they went nowhere.
On Monday, I added the URL of my page to my sig here, and suddenly it went from about 12 views to 75! (I just changed the main menu page, so the counter is back down again, though.)
With this newfound web popularity, I have just one question: are web page banners still a viable source of income?

They never were.

If you really sell out and put some porn or casino ads on your site, with a bit of haggling, you'd be lucky to get a dime/1000 hits.

Yeah, a few places that I looked at for banner ads once required at least 100,00 hits a year before even starting! You'd be better off working at the supermarket for one hour a week I'd say...

...but this is good, fewer sites are filled with banners these days. Take these forums for example

Apple would be cool with me posting those ads on my Homepage, right? I could even put a disclaimer if they wanted

Which makes me wonder, who exactly is picking up the tab to run this site. Sites, especially big ones do cost serious money. And if they don't get money, they go away; it's not always good.
Web banners were once a viable source of income, I know because I lived on them for a while; but now, unless you're a huge site, it's not really worth the hassle to even put them up if you don't have an established sponsor base, and especially if you get fewer than half a million hits a month (which is still puny in the ad world).
