How You Can Support Low End Mac
Donate using PayPal - details below.
Thanks for visiting Low End Mac, the primary business of Cobweb Publishing, Inc.
I started Cobweb Publishing and went into full-time Web publishing in January 2001, when it looked like site income could easily replace my 9-to-5 job. We've been through some rough patches, but for the past years income was good. That has not been true since October 2008 - every month since then income has been down 50% over the previous year.
Low End Mac serves 1.3 to 1.5 million pages to approximately 335,000 unique visitors per month.
The model of serving more pages leading to increased income onl works when ad rates go up, and lately they have dropped significantly.
That's why we're asking those who enjoy Low End Mac to support it. Here are some ways you can help support this site:
