I can't believe he actually sent me a pm wanting to interview me because of my sites success... lol

$6,000 in one night?? I would not be sitting here right now struggling to make minor addons and improvements...lol

Might site pays for itself and for now I consider that a success..

$6000 a night is about 20,000 people online at a time. im pretty sure you would be updating your site more often then expected to keep the money coming in

thanks!

My community will be launched as a for-profit including some fairly non-traditional promoting methods. I?m not quite yet willing to give a public link to the intro describing the business model in details, but if you want I can send you a pre-launch invitation so you can visit the non-public stuff once3 properly set up. That should happen in a couple of weeks from now.

Regs,

The way google works is by scanning what your site is about and then they put advertisements for sites that deal with the same thing as yours. That's why since i have a rap site, i don't make a lot off of google because rap sites don't pay much for advertisements. However, i know someone that owns a web designing site and he makes about $2.15 per click.

wow thats alot man

I make money on my site http://www.everything2stroke.com I just started a membership program and have had about 10 people sign up. I have 1600+ members in 1 years time (not sure if thats good for the first years stats). However I do make stickers and T-shirts that are related to my site and sell them on ebay which become a great way to attract attention to the site. I don't actually profit because buying new products site Maintenance and hosting fees(which I own the hosting company and pay myself) add up and leaves my site with 0. Which sucks but I never figured I would make money from the site. I however use my site to create business for my Webhosting company. So I guess in the long run my pocket gets fatter.

My site has been online since the year 2000 and is a GM diesel truck owners forum.

We make about $1200 a month in standard run of the mill banner ads and Google actually contacted us to do AdSense a couple of weeks ago. We are getting that working now actually (which is why I happen to be here at these forums researching other users' experiences).

I just graduated from college a few months ago (started in 2000) and haven't had much time to take care of this forum of mine. I am not really proud of it, except that it has a 6400 members and generates $1200/mo.
