Dear webmasters,...........

i went to an engineer to repair my phone......

and there he was discussion something with some people....

so i decided to join them........

the main topic of our discussion was :

" WHICH WAY ARE THOSE WEBMASTERS (PEOPLE THAT OWNS A WEBSITE (like Nairaland, naijaloaded, gurusloaded,myschool, and others sites) GENERATING THEIR INCOMES FROM US?? as in if at all there is any income for them, for owning a website, how did they generate it, is it from we that do visit their sites ? if Yes how.....AND IF OTHERWISE PLEASE EXPLAIN.....at least someone cannot open a website like that and not making any small cash from people visiting that particular site.....

someone said it is from our MB ....e.g the more MB you spent on nairaland or naijaloaded will be converted to Currency and will be entering the owner's account....But another person said the MB belong to only the network provider and not the owner of the site....

since then i have also been thinking of that particular thing.............

just feeling confused...


Please could you please shed more light on it for me?

i will be very grateful

THANKS....

Another form of Advert is Google Adsence. With it, Google displays adverts on your website, and the more people click on it, the more you get paid.

Other ways of making cash is offering things like subscriptions or upgrades on the website E.g Badoo, Irokotv, Ibakatv, Pin Pals app

Apart from these methods, I don't know any other way they make money. That's why popular WhatsApp app do not make money directly from the app (for most of the population)
