Originally posted by LondonPM1 View PostI have been wondering. How does CUK make money to cover its costs. Clearly the answer is ads obviously
I’d love to hear from people who know how the ad business works for a site like cuk so that if I created a site called contractordivorcesuk I’d know what I need
I guess questions are
1) does the ad provider pay for just showing an ad or only when clicked. If paid to show how many cents per view
2) if I click an ad is there anyway to know what it has cost the ad provider. If not what can it range to
3) most importantly how many users viewers and ad clicks do you need to actually spin a profit
4) what sort of costs does a forum website generate. Some hosting costs of a few hundred bucks but really anything else
I have no intention of doing a hostil takeover of CUK
I’m asking so I can get an idea of how cut throat forums and internet ads are. I ve no experience at all in this area so I’d like to hear from those who do
