I dont understand the internet

[RAAMONE]

alright this is probably going to sound pretty dumb but i just dont get it

on here yesterday i saw someone talking about paying for the bandwidth for this site

i dont understand how you make money by having websites

i mean...why is google and yahoo worth so much? nobody pays to use these free sites...do they get money from comcast and other service providers? if so it cant be too much of a chunk

please explain

advertising.

advertising.

If we as a dealer want to be at the top of a search list(Google) the higher you are the more you pay..when someone searches lets say Chevrolet..we pay more...Just as an example..

For those who want to know, read this post. Anyone who wants to keep the gimmick going, ignore this post.

Just like you have to pay aol/your cable company/your phone company to have internet in your house, we need to pay for it too. We also rent our server monthly from a company. Your pc and cable modem or whatever are fine for your web browsing/gaming/etc., but we have thousands of people coming to the site every day, so we need a more powerful computer and more bandwidth to allow them all to visit. This all costs us money.

Most of the money we make are thru the ads on the site. We have partnerships with some companies, like Myradiostore, we have affiliate partnerships, like audible, and targetted ads, like Google. These ads combined allow us to operate and run the site.

Not that it's followed strictly but the original designation is:

.com = company
.org = nonprofit organization
.net = network
.gov = government agency
