[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2960463, member: 1"] SMH. I started this site to make money? I started this as a project when I was learning to create websites. I had no expectation of making money from it. None at all. I had no expectation that it would take off and be around this long. I have never created and sold a website. I made a few websites for relatives and one for a community group. Selling websites is not something I am interested in. I bought one that's a parenting support group because I went there and the members there helped me. The owner was going to shut it down because it was costing her so much to pay to have it maintained. I bought it from her because I knew how to maintain it myself for free. What I do have that may be worth some money are domains. I think I have 30 or so domains many that I've owned for many many years. There are at least 10 that are pretty good. I've only ever sold one and that was many years ago because someone offered me a decent price for it. That has nothing to do with this site, just throwing it out there. This site now does generate a small profit but for the many years I paid most of the expenses out of my own pocket. As far as making members view ads: I'd make more money. Ads were set up that way here a few years ago. The ads annoyed me. That's why I'm not making the members view ads. Lurkers that never register pay the bills here. That works well enough for me.
