Aw... Minimum page impressions per month to be accepted as a publisher is half a million, and we're only looking at about 300,000 or so this month.

Of course, that they only run their ads on sites with half a million pageviews a month or more may be a good thing in the long run even for little guys like me who may take a few more months to qualify. I can't articulate why I think so at the moment--perhaps it's the old, "if I have to work to meet the standards it must be good," thing.

Given Google Adsense's recent penchant for dropping and refusing to pay small publishers without explanation or appeal (they did this to us and to several other webcomic authors recently who adhered perfectly to our agreements with them, citing "invalid clicks" and refusing to give further explanation--although we have reason to believe we were hit by linkbots), though, I'm be pretty excited to see a few reputable companies getting ready to go toe-to-toe with them.
