Question What’s the cost for you

Hey,

What is the cost for you to run a directory. What are your hosting bills, advertising bills etc

Are you breaking even at the end of the month or are you making profits?

Hi, I use a free directory script and I use a great free host so my total cost each month is $0.00.

Well, I am going to sign up for a free hosting account in a couple of days, and the directory script doesn't cost anything, so my expenses would be $0. For profits, I won't be putting any paid ads or anything and i won't be charging any money for it, so profits would again be $0 (I don't think my parents would let me be part of paid ads - haven't asked them yet, but i think the answer would be obvious...)

Oops I forgot lol. I have made just under $30usd from adsense. Not as much as a content site but still a nice profit :P - I plan to sell featured links on my new directory though.

Hi,

Why are your parents not happy with you being a part of "paid ads"

Mainly because of the complications involved with dealing with money overseas. (Sorry if that question was not directed at me :P )

I paid $7.95 for the domain for 1 year (on auto renew) and hosting provided by a very good friend of mine which is for free.
