Bottom line - there is definitely some money to be made.

Hm. Hard for me to do the math because I can't even guess at how many cc applications a blog generates a year. I mean, I guess I would guess like maybe 5 a week? So 260/year = $13k?

I hear that some cc affiliate programs have quotas. Anyone know what those are? That might make the math easier! @:-)
