Does Adsense Not Pay Properly for Viral Traffic?
Yesterday my girlfriend's website had a bit of a viral hit on stumbleupon, getting 13,000 visits in a day from them. She got 12 clicks on adsense ads, but apart from the first one they all seem to have paid just a couple of pence. Normally she gets a pretty good price per click.

I've been using a variety of social bookmarking sites to increase traffic and for the do-follow links, due to a great hub by Ryankett, thanks Ryan!! Recently though, on a few sites like Kirsty or Wagg, even after several months, my bookmarks are all marked as "submitted", but none of them...
