I was going to ask how you make money with that site, but then I disabled ghostery and saw the ad. Are you using adsense or something else?
Yeah, I'm using adsense.
Thanks for answering everybody's questions. How do you get the data on which coupons are available for which locations?

#55http://pizzacodes.com My goal was to break $1k / mo by the end of this year. Last month I not only broke that goal, but more than doubled my next highest month.
That's great. I usually wade through Retail Me Not on my own, but it's time consuming to go back and forth to see what's available from different stores (and they try and hide the actual code). I'll give it a try next time.

How long has the sentry app been live? It looks pretty useful.
It is /very/ useful. I managed to mooch a free account for an open-source project and it has been invaluable. For Python projects, it has the best integration (being written in python) of any of the many that I have tried (most of which seem to focus on RoR and everything else is an extra).
I'm attempting to get it adopted at my workplace as well. The major point that seems to get the bosses interested is being able to host it ourselves (for free, it's open source) easily in the case that we outgrow the hosted version.

My work VPN blocks this as porn. Ha!
Oof, good to know... Any other false positives you've had so I can maybe figure out why? Edit: Never mind, I think your censorware might just have a more inventive sexual imagination than I do when it comes to domain names...
Not sure it would be related, but python.com used to be a startling high-res extremely NSFW spread that you really didn't want to accidentally visit in a public setting when you really wanted python.org...
(They are now 'no longer accepting new affiliates' though, and the pictures are gone.)

#59A music album I made fits that description, although it is winding down, as to be expected: http://lifeformed.bandcamp.com/ Via album sales, Spotify streams, iTunes, etc, all done through TuneCore ( https://www.tunecore.com ).
Cool album. How did you get a big enough audience to make real money from this? Was it just word of mouth from making good tracks? Or was it also from doing shows or reaching out to music blogs or something?

They hide the actual code until you click on their link so they can get the affiliate traffic (otherwise people would just copy the code, and leave, resulting in no revenue for them).
Retailmenot was part of the inspiration for the site - I always found pizza coupons on their site to not be very accurate.
