Now that the Microsoft-Yahoo subject comes up again, thanks to the former withdrawing their $40+ billion offer, I found this old blog entry on the web:

How Microsoft should spend their $44 billion - PAY USERS

Of course the author probably wrote that being only half-serious, but it seems to make sense. If paying your users will bring traffic to your site (which is the only important thing when selling ads), it might actually be worth it to pay people to come.

But the think I liked the most about the post is the out-of-the-box thinking. Come on, who could think of paying users for visiting your website? And somehow, the idea looks interesting.

So, does anyone want to earn a dime by coming here every day? :)
