In a recent MOTD, I stated that the advertiser situation was bad, but I didn't expect to make less than 5$ in 13 days. So I decided to pull the only remaining advertisement banner, but I am hoping to find an alternative means of at least covering my online cost (various virtual servers, phone bill, etc.). I haven't given up the hope that Amiga companies (Amiga, Haage&Partner, and many others) will finally understand that the market would be even less alive without Amiga news sites, and finally decide to make suitable contributions to the news sites they've been using for years to post their press releases and announce their products on.
Do I sound slightly bitter? Perhaps. But with a phone bill of 100$ every month, an upcoming domain renewal for 90€, a website generating 5$ out of over 50,000 pageviews is just ridiculous...

I know how Christian feels, I run AmiBench, and We hardly make enough to cover the cost of re-registering the domains in two years time.
Its a very sad state of affairs that when you contact an Amiga company asking if they would like to sponsor a well known Amiga site, most either dont bother responding, or the few that do just say "no".
If Christian feels anything like me he does not do this for the money - I bet its far from it.
And for all the purists out there who dont think we should make any money at all, Why can't we? You dont help us in any way, We are small indipentant sites, Without the revinue from banners we would have all shut up shop years ago.
Remeber nothing in this world is free. |
