The only ads I remember seeing in my TechCrunch feed are ads for CrunchGear. So, how much of this payment is offset by the cost of CrunchGear ads?

Always have because that's the option I set up in my FB account. Who on earth wants to deal with bits of paper sent in the post? And my guess re the amount in the cheque above - it's six thousand something. The first word is definitely 'six' and the blurred number at right looks like it has a comma after the first digit. Just a tad more than I receive each month, usually sufficient for a beer or three :) I get my FB ad payments by PayPal. Always have because that’s the option I set up in my FB account.

6074.73

so, roughly over a thousand bucks per hundred thousand subscribers.

That's how it's done over here in Europe... I haven't seen or used a cheque since... what?... 1980.

Isn't it interesting that the number of subscribers for TechCrunch is 677k (677,000) and the amount of check is a very similar number is pennies? My theory is that TechCrunch has 677,473 subscribers and they got a check for $6,774.73. It seems that each subscriber is worth $0.01 for RSS ads. I am waiting to get my $2 check. Its not a bad deal for me; once a week I give my two cents worth, thats about $1/year and at the end of the year, I get double that money! :-) The amount on the check is around $6.7k.

That could be the case here. My guess is that the check is for more than $5,000 and Mike is taking a justifiable strut by calling it "next to nothing."
