    I found this on a blog (dated 2005)

    "In this span of 6 months we have written 409 recommendations. That’s about 2 music recommendations per day including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We’ve provided 15,275 click-throughs into Apple’s iTunes Music Store so far. There have been 617 orders of 1,698 items (albums and singles) which translates to a little over 4% conversion. People definitely buy way more singles than albums. I wish I could tell you exactly what people were buying, but unfortunately that level of detail is not available through the Affiliate Reporting Tool. The total sales figure so far is $3,345.40. Not too shabby for us talking about our collective music collections eh? From this total we receive 5% which equals out to $167.27. To put that in perspective, that equals out to about $0.93 a day or $0.47 an article or $339.45 for the year if we keep up with this trend. Right now that puts us at the break-even point when you factor in hosting costs."
