Doug, would it be possible to not only generate some revenue but also
turn it into a learning experience?  I think it would be beneficial to
the community to "see" exactly how you're going to provided this
feature.

Possible outline:
1) How do we initiate this at Google.
2) How do we implement this in a web page.
3) How can we track, internally, how many hits came from Google.
4) How do we get paid.
5) How do reconcile what Google paid vs. what we expected to get paid.

What do you think?

Brad.
