HOW

The business model is no different from Facebook's just that Nairaland sells adverts manually.

But you are not helping the small business that cant afford your adverts. why dont you create a board where we can pay to post adverts and in return you send traffic there? many like me will love to convince our clients with our write ups rather than a small banner pic.
