@Parminder

in our case it is adsense whcih fills the advertising space which is only visible to new visitors and members dont get to see any advertising atall hence the site is a profit making venture.

Then why not even registered members see those ads so that Admin can earn more ?

what's the point in not showing ads to registered members ?

I guess when you where Admin it was ON

A website is a business just like every shop every office the only difference is that customers here are online and dont physically come to you.

For instance www.Indiabroadband.net is a website and to buy the domain I spent $10 that is about 450RS then the data you read and write has to go some where so we need hosting service for that which is paid for depending on the type of hosting you buy.

Hosting: Hosting a website required hard disk space which is kept some where physically and to read the info we need processors and ram and everything required to run a server ... including the software and operating system which in our case if a Linux version... There are 3 main types of hosting...

Shared: where you share a server with thousands of other websites.

VPS : Virtual private server where you get a virtual seperation from other accounts on the same server and you dont share resources as they are allocated just for your site.

Dedicated hosting: You get your own dedicated server and your own dedicated ip and dedicated bandwidth.


Now all the above hosting comes at a cost... shared starting from $10 something a month VPS starting from $40-50 going up to more then $1000 depending upon what you want. Dedicated hosting starts from $100-120 and goes up to thousands of dollars depending upon what you want.

Now this cost has to be recovered some how so how does a webmaster gets paid? how does he monotize his website?

Thats a million dollar question and not many visitors realise how a website makes money unless it is physically selling some thing.

www.indiabroadband.net does not sell anything and does not charge its members to use the service provided here but as any business it has to make money to pay for its costs to be able to survive in the long run... So India broadband forum sells its real estate which on a website means space to advertise and in our case it is adsense whcih fills the advertising space which is only visible to new visitors and members dont get to see any advertising atall hence the site is a profit making venture.. Now why did Aaron pay for this site shouldnt remain a mystry any more after this explaination that like every other business a website also makes money one way or the other.

I remember a while ago I started a mission to make sure every member here starts a blog and starts making money as I wanted to pay back to the community and give a helping hand in bringing the precious foreign exchange into the country but not many people showed interest and those who came into those threads just came to advertise their sites which is not what those threads were for.... I started those threads to share my knowledge but a sincere effort to help others without expecting anything back from them is always looked upon with suspicion and it was no different for me so I did carry it on as there was no demand for it


Any more questions please let me know.

good explained my friend

Thank you.
i understood.

no questions now.but i will ask if i find any doubt later.

Yes Admin can earn more but its not just all about earning more and more... we could put a few popups and popunders as well to double the revenue but then what sort of experience would it be for a visitor? it would be like visiting a huge advertisement with nothing related to what they are looking for...

The point in not showing ads to registered members is that they are regulars here and would find the ads annoying as I myself find them annoying.

No ads were not displayed to members even when I used to run this forum.

Ad's shown on the side are not annoying. The ad's that I find annoying are:

- those displayed in the middle of topics, e.g., thread posts (2 or 3), then ad, then couple of posts, then ad, etc.
- popup/flash ad's. These can be blocked but they still are annoying
- ad's that eat up the main page (say at the top or bottom)

ya i also don't like these kinda ads.
specially the ones which cover the whole page and we have to skip them.

this thread is the wrong place to suggest but, we could have ads on sides as no one minds them at all...

i mind.
but if its an ad of a part of pc then i don't mind

Really funny the thread is titled "Can't Upload my avatar" and the discussion is on ADs

i got an idea.....let the space for our avatar be used for ads and 60% of that revenue comes to us

That's why I can't upload an avatar..
