Yeah, well, Elgin doesn't seem to be very clear on a lot of stuff. Too much reading blogs by internot BS artists, not enough real world experience IMHO......
Anybody who thinks low and mid level tours make money has never been on one.
OTOH he tells me he's actually working on setting up a site and is interested in having me consult...... Dunno what good it'll do, the site sounds like another site for non-pros, but what the heck?
I don't think that we necessarily know that about banner based advertising yet. For one thing AFAIK every organization that's tried anything like that so far has tried to be a for-profit, VC backed company (or an amateur based site, but that's not what I'm interested in.) That's a lot of overhead. I propose doing it as a non-profit, using the ad revenue to pay royalties and base operating expenses only.
