Mag Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm always curious but don't feel like finding an answer myself. Instead I'll let you guys answer. So how does free image hosting sites such as imageshack still lives on as of today? how do they get this massive amount of webspace (without cleaning it every once in a while, correct me if I'm wrong)? or manage to pay for all these webspaces? now don't say the ads is the ticket to pay for it because it seems doubtful that 2 or 3 box/columns of ad would actaully pay for TBs of webspace. And still, everyone is continue to use it everyday. I like to know what's behind imageshack and how they manage to stay alive as of today? a cheap answer such as the management of the site is rich or the ads are the real deal doesn't really justify my answer so uh what do you guys think?

Shibathedog Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 They have very little ads, but billions of clicks/loads/whatever, so it eventually adds up and they can afford it. Plus some of those sites have premium membership options and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitway Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Clickable ads and premium memberships. You would be suprised at how much clickable ads/popups make. Plus there are alot of fools with money to burn that join the premium ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
