It seems that a journalist has been specifically fired based on the number of hits his articles got. In this case, not enough. Dave Jansen by all accounts did a fine job as a reviewer of televisions for PC World magazine, published by IDG. The problem came when the publisher decided to carry on with an online version only and looked at the number of people surfing the television review section. The issue here isn’t that Dave sucked as a writer, only that his readership and hits weren’t big enough. Again, size matters.

For years I’ve wanted to do an article about someone from the adult entertainment industry and money problems or money management. I always thought it was a good way to put the universal issue of money into context that we all have to deal with money, credit and debt.
