That's a surprising and interesting trend. I thought it was the other way around.

280,300 unfortunatly seems like a very low number of free sites to me.

aprilkorova · 04-10-2001, 02:06 PM

I don't know how they gathered their info, or if it's correct. But, if it is even close ,I thought it was kinda promising. Lots of money to be made, not as many webmasters making it. Sounds like all of you that said the industry would start evening itself out, may be right

boneprone · 04-10-2001, 08:11 PM

yawn.

magnatique · 04-10-2001, 09:02 PM

wizzo is right...
take 200,000 at adultcheck, and the ones at agecheck, BAM, more than 280K...

magnatique · 04-10-2001, 09:03 PM

but do they consider avs free? that's the question
