Was 2006 a good or bad year for you? Name the good/bad things...
Worst for me is the introduction of "dynamic pricing" just about everywhere adwords/adsense, parking programs, etc.
Translated into English dynamic pricing means " I will pay you whatever I fell like paying you...." I hate the damn thing.
Best is MSRS and not just for the revenue. When you build sites it can take months before you see results but with resource sites everything is accelerated, you can go from 0 to 10000 uniques in a couple of months, it is just hugely entertaining.
Work related or not, what were your highs and lows?

Okay, seriously, worst was when all my expectations for summer crashed, I thought my hits would go way up but it remained steady & it would have been okay if I hadn't been so excited about it months before.
& I guess best would be, ummmmmm, non-online stuff, sex etc. :o)

2006 has been OK, i guess.
As far as bad, the worst was my mom getting diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
Best was it going into Remission
The worst happened in 2005, when Katrina hit my house with 12 feet of water and destroyed everything in my house. It turned out to be the best outcome ever, getting out of a stupid city, and coming into a city filled with friends, and so many more oportunities in school, and getting me off my *** and getting a Job and maturing a lot.
Another best was discovering online moneymaking, its the best thing that ever happened to me.
I had my first boyfriend here in 2006 wayy in February. =OO Don't know if that was a best or a worst. ^__^ more like a worst.
My grades have dropped A TON, but that started in the 2nd nine weeks of freshman year in 2005, when i got my first D (in spanish) and since then my grades haven't been the same, but i'm trying to do better.

I remember when Katrina hit & tons of people I knew online had to evacuate & such, but glad to hear you got over it fine.. That was a really sad time. :(

Best - I really, honestly don't know. I'd have to think about it for a while.
Worst - Something personal that I don't want to share, plus my grades dropping LOADS; from all As to Bs and Cs.

The worst would definitely be my site's database crash 2 days before thanksgiving and not having a friggen backup!!
All the waiting for the holidays all year long for nothing.. bleh...
And the fact that one of my pups just broke all of his 4 paw finger bones whatever-the-heck-theyre-called today and now needs surgery.
They're not even sure if it's fixable so they might have to amputate, pretty sad -_-
Best, hmmm... dont know, watching the birth of the pups I suppose.

Good things: Getting accepted back into YPN after begging (had an inactive invite that I hadn't used for the longest time).
Bad news: Server crash and bombing every single one of my finals, and having to study over Christmas break because of it.

Best has been staying healthy, making money to help my parents and getting engaged.
Worst was my mother getting sick.
