I think the problem is that Michael's been doing text ads in the messages for years - but nobody is clicking on them. ;^) One idea that could be neat, could be frustrating is to place a quota on each user. The ads in the footer (whether text or graphical) MUST be clicked sometimes (say once a day, week, month, whatever). If a user doesn't click an ad in the timeframe they may get a reminder, or perhaps only get the first 100 or so characters of messages until they do. As a subscriber I wouldn't mind a system like this too much (as long as the ads were both relevant and varied). I may not actually pay any attention to the content of the link, but the list would get its click through. I'm actually liking this idea a lot.... you leverage your subscriber base in a forced, but still relatively painless manner.
