    They are only getting few clicks in ads but is it enough for paying atleast the server rent ?

    I am also wondering abt it : let some file hosting site owners comment!

    1. is the premium membership offered by these sites.

    2. Google Adsense on the file landing pages... & If u have a high traffic file hosting site.. then u make lots of $$$$. :)

    On file hosting sites you get very low costs/click - about 1 or 2cents/click :(

    I think they make money from ads and premium memberships.

    First few months they have the service for free to get people and then they bring out premium services, and new features for paid prices. such as bigger file sizes, high bandwidth....

    no ads? that seems odd most file sharing sites I've seen have ads somewhere on the page.

    if they don't have ads or a pay verison then I guess they can make money putting spyware on peoples computers or something
