    How can you make money with a warez site, since mosts ads are not allowed to be used on this sort of site?

    adbrite, black label ads, cpxinteractive, and others will work. Also warez sites don't make much money. Not worth the effort. There are already a million warez forums and it'll be mighty hard to overthrow the big ones.

    You can make money with these sites, some ad comapines don't mind warez based sites.
    But alot of the sites also make money from premium members paying a monthly fee.
    Or they sell advertising space to other warez sites or general compaines.

    So with my site, www.warezkingdom.net, is it too soon to offer VIP memberships and such? I was considering $5/year for access to the site?

    I guess my best bet for making money is to build up the site and just sell it and find a higher paying niche.

    I have not seen many people buying warez sites as it's not easy to monetize em. I would say concentrate on other good niches instead of working on a warez site.

    Isn't this a real contradiction. Warez basically means stealing from the copyright owners and developers and not paying them what is lawfully theirs. Basically when warez are offered, copyright owners and developers hard work and investments would go to waste. It has discouraged a number of small time developers to fold because they are not earning enough to support the blood and sweat which goes into the work.

    Now you want to go profit from your illegal activities without any regards for those who makes those software. This really sadden me as a software developer myself and I know the pain which warez has cost my business.

    Don't even thing about doing anything illegal because it could come back and haunt you soon enough.

    Go to waste? If it was not for piracy, no one would use their products in the first place, piracy is what has kept devs their jobs, retard.

    But developers do not earn a cent from pirates like you ? It cost money and time to develop software and it can be very expensive.

    Personally would you spend your sleepless night and hard earn money developing something and then have them used by pirates who does not appreciate or pay for your work ?

    How would pirates help keep developers their jobs when the developers don't get any money ? A Job would mean that they need to get paid ? Do pirates pay the developers a salary ?

    many do not like warez because of viruses and spy ware.However,no amount is too small which means you can sign up to affiliate programs but you won't make much as compared to the rest

    Since when does warez contain spyware and warez? That is just retarded.

    Pirates create popularity for the product, thus increasing sales, word of mouth is the best marketing, this is common sense I am not going to even waste my time trying to make you understand such a basic concept.

    There are ups and downs with warez..
    It also helps show how easy it is to null or crack your software :p , that is where cd keys are really fixed up.
    Another example where warez does not hurt is World of Warcraft < if you get a warez copy, you are not hurting bilizzard but instead kinda helping them (save some transfer :p). The only big downside is the stupid warez noobs

    anyhow -> go with adbrite and make it guests only and also sell some links possibly.

    Ignoring all of the bad things about warez sites - adbrite doesn't allow them anymore, they moved that part to blacklabelads.com, which still looks just like adbrite, is owned by adbrite, and blacklabelads ads even contain some adbrite references in the code.

    Should I wait for the forum to get more popular before adding a VIP section or what? I was considering moving all the "good" forums into a VIP section but wouldnt that deter guests from registering if they do not see any forums?
