After installing Mackup, the Mac backup tool mentioned in this guide, I noticed that it backed up my entire ~/.ssh directory to Dropbox. This included my id_rsa private key, which I would prefer not to have on Dropbox, even with a key passphrase.

The problem with using pay-per-conversion is that it works best (and only?) when you can get a direct response from the site when a sale is made. For example, send someone to your landing page, they buy a product online, and then call the conversion code on the 'thank you' page, e.g. /order/complete -- this can be tracked as a conversion easily.

For sites with big ticket items where the transaction doesn't take place online, it can be trickier to try and attribute the sale to a certain ad campaign.
