It seems like there was a time where all the Internet marketers were taking pictures of themselves holding up their largest checks, and saying look how much I made! Probably the most famous of these is Shoemoney's 132k check from Google Adsense (see pic).
At Imwave, we never felt the need, or maybe we never had a check worthy enough for this public display, until today!
Thanks to Yahoo, for sending us this $0 check with no explanation as to what it is for. My guess is that this is part of the process of closing down the Yahoo Publisher Network that we signed up for but never implemented. I wonder how many others got $0 checks from Yahoo, I am sure there must be billions of people out there that Yahoo could give Zero dollars to!
I guess the question is, do we cash it or frame it?
We promise not to spend it all in one place <grin>
That's a great picture. I say cash it! I'd love to see the look on the bank teller's face when you endorse it, fill out a deposit slip for $0, and very seriously slide it over the counter, only to wait patiently while the teller punches it into the computer.

Hey, I'm a bigger super affiliate than you guys! My Yahoo check was for $2.91
;-)
Yes, I just think they are closing everything out, but what a waste of money to cut a check, pay for postage and labor to send a bunch of $0 checks.

I got one from them today for $25.61. The thing is, I don't remember ever having anything to do with Yahoo! But I guess I could have at one time, I've been blogging and developing forever.
