Can anybody tell me which kind of ads program or earning programs are used by major players like filesonic.com, fileserve.com and others. how do they earn apart for selling premium memberships....i would like to know as much as possible.... any info or link given to know more will be appreciated... Many Thanks. Sandy.
major hosts like filesonic, wupload don't use any ads anywhere in the site even to free users as its bit annoying to users due to various reasons like most of the ads shown nowadays have malicious scripts which might infect users computer so some users avoid file hosting sites which show ads, also major ad sites like google don't allow putting ads on file hosting sites due to copyright problems. so the best way is to don't put ads as it may keep users away from the sites which is not good for getting lot of premium sales & re-bills.
Thanks a lot buddy for the immediate reply.... i wish to start a file hosting site....how can i earn other than selling premium accounts... please advise. Many Thanks.
You could sell your own ads, but premium accounts seem like the way to make money. People don't like ad stuffed pages and advertising companies generally forbid their ads being used on services like the one you propose. Just set traffic limits/speed limits and if people want content hosted on your locker they will pay for a premium account. Seems like a tough business to break in to though. Uploaders I imagine prefer to stick with more established hosts for file security. If they upload big files to your host from their home connection (assuming it's slow) and your gone in a month or two it's time/BW wasted.
