Guys, Amazon *bought* the alexa Thumbs services back on July 27th 2006, and that they are switching to a 'paid' model.

I of course being the good guy that I am (hehe) notified several of my clients immediately(because the switch could be turned OFF at anytime)
So several of them decided to go with the model they have set up.

I am not very fond of the whole way things are currently working though.
They only offer two sizes. 201x147 and 82x111 e.g. Large & Small (it's called in code that way)

So basically the charges are .002 per viewed thumbnail. (granted, if no thumbnail exists, you will not be charged, but it will alert them and they will then automatically update the website's thumbnail)

Anywho, it amounts to only .20cents per 1,000 thumbnail views. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
