I have been here for years. Anyone who suggests that Shawn is not "totally above board" is off base. I think that Shawn has integrity coming out of his ears. This place didn't become what it is, without some pretty strong, honest leadership from the top. You have it all here - plus you can SPEAK - something you can't do on other "top" webmaster websites. But that creates a burden on YOU - you must exercise restraint in what you say. I have stepped over the line, and been gently reminded to be cool - and rightly so. This place is the "top of the heap". It didn't happen automatically. It happened because of superior leadership.
I actually got my first click from DP today it was a big 14 cents but hey I have learned a lot from this forum which has probably made me alot more then that. But I talked to my friend again and he said hes going to try to get some more info on what they are trying to do or whatever but I think his source at google is just a intern so I dont know if that guy knows much about what hes saying either haha
the revenue sharing on dp is 50-50 % as i know, the guy with 80-90 is wrong. I think the revenue sharing will be the next great revolution in terms of web, and i do not think that google will cut this off.
