How do sites generate money?

Post by TheProf »

I often wondered how websites make money,outside the porn industry.I can recall one,having a huge staff,run like a newspaper with hourly updates,similar to the BBC one.Except that's an off shoot to the corporations other activities which is under investigation.

So,how do you run a website & pay for the staff as well,without financial help from any sister organisation.

What to pay a whole building of staff:I wouldn't have thought the internet would have attracted enough hits for an advertiser of a large corporation to be interested like a magazine or newspaper.

All I've seen so far with 'advertisers' have been small fry."Joe Higgins can polish your car"..."Susie Sploggs can design your flowers".

Big deal I would have thought.People teetering on a budget themselves.

Screw Yahoo, what about google ? BILLIONS or ?????????????????????? in advertising.

It is said that both love and truth walk hand in hand. But if the need is great enough, can we learn to love a lie?
