    How does ICQ make money?

    How do they make money to support the program? Do the ads really support it? I find it hard to believe that a lot of people click them. I understand how AIM, MSN ,and Yahoo messengers continue on because it's part of their network.

      Yes via the advertising plus they have been owned by AOL for almost forever thus making them part of a network (AIM). Plus they offer assorted upsales and the like, click around sometimes. Hell I even accidently click the damn ads on ICQ on occassion. Oddly that is how I found one "mainstream" cam site which happened to have an adult area.

          Nah it was full of advice, psychics, spiritual babel, and that sort of crap. Ok technically it was a "phone" site with 99.9% offering free cams with the phone calls.

          Keep in mind how many fools use fortune tellers, advice counselling, life coaches, confessionals, or other types of services each day. Then we all know what they say in regards to a fool and their money.

            none - the hun gets revenue from pre-paid gallery placements on the top 15 spaces and banners. the rest of the galleries are free placements.

            Works the same for ICQ man.

              They probably sell short ICQ numbers on ebay.

                                Do you think the man who created the application of the world wide web got bucket loads of money?

                                Yet still very successful.

                                        why does everyone always jump to the how much money thing

                                        remember the good old days when most webmasters started websites just for the love of it? and the content was something they put together with pride and being a webmaster was about good content and not about seo and backlinks
