I always wondered why somebody would invest so much time and money into some of these websites if they arent selling anything.

Look at myspace, that guy gets hella money from his site but he's not selling anything and hardly see advertising on there unless it's people who use it.

yeah man that tom guy is in the fuckin money, nothing even too fancy about that site or nothing. Its just some cookie cutter web design that you can learn at a community college if that, same with your buddies at craigslist and google bought them out for hella loot

THE SAME WAY EVERY FORM OF MEDIA MAKES MONEY.......

SUBSCRIPTIONS AND/OR ADVERTISING (or sales, like the Sicc Shop--even though they send out broken shit all the time).

It's not that fucking hard to grasp.

Everybody charges for something. The Siccness charges like $150 for a full advertising package (I did an ad campaign and used the Siccness as a source of advertisement)...

Myspace...that's obvious.

Raptalk...they sell ads (or did).

Nothing is completely free.

That's some crazy shit right there. The more users hitting the site the more buisness' will want to fuck with it.

I'm thinking about making a web site now....lol

all those ads really arent shit compared to what google will offer you if you have a great site idea that no one has thought of, that will be in high demand


fuck selling ads for 50k or even 100k....... if I was craigslist or myspace, wikipedia shit like that, I would just directly sell the site to google for a billion dollars haha shit
