Has there been a proportionate increase in revenues from Amazon etc?
PS I did not post 'Amaz*n' as a link. Will people buying through this link produce revenue for NSC as it does for those going through the red link at the top of the page?

Stop bloody moaning!
It's definitely all those JCL's and then there's loads of postings from complete outsiders, some ok, some not, and some total wankers, especially when the Glenn Murray saga was going on!
It's gone up but most months we are at about break even or making a small loss. In the old days we turned a healthy profit month on month.
Most of the modifications and stuff I'm doing to the site are to try and make it even more 'sticky' to visitors in the hope they stay longer and we earn more revenue whilst they are with us.

Does.
Please don't encourage 'clicking sprees' as these can be detected which means we could risk losing Amazon, our top revenue stream.
I fail to see the relevance of your income being compared to NSC's outgoings.

We primarily earn from 2 sources...
- Amazon: When you click on an NSC Amazon link and go on to make a purchase we earn some of the money you've spent. You can click through to Amazon a million times, but we only earn if you go on to buy.
- Google: Google supply the banner ad in the top right. It is a combination of 'paid to be there', because we are a busy site, and paid per click (we get cash when someone clicks on the banner) but we have no way of knowing which is which. Google's model is highly sophisticated and the advert you see may not be seen by anyone else.
Google protect the integrity of their ad programme and will strike off sites that attempt to fraud the system. As such, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT randomly and repeatedly click on the ad banner. If Google strike NSC off, then it is likely to mark the beginning of the end for NSC, as Google probably accounts for about 70% of our income.
The best things you can do to support NSC are...
1. Buy stuff from Amazon, remembering to click through from here.
2. If you see a banner ad that has appeal don't think "Oh, I'll go and visit xxxxxxx.com later to check that out." - make the click from NSC so we get to earn from the advert we served you.
More advertisers may be added in the near future. Like Amazon these will likely only pay when people click through and purchase.
Guests, ie those not registered and logged onto NSC, get more ads than people logged in too.

If I am buying a Blu Ray and Amazon has the cheapest price I'll use the red link at the top of the page to click through as it brings up my account page on Amazon so no need to use a bookmark.

The most curious thing..
I thought that alot of the "guests" were various google spiders searching the site for whatever google spiders search for. Do they count as "guests" on the user count? http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=34439
