Why aren't we getting paid to use a freehosting?
 

Sponsors pay us a % to use their hosted galleries;
gallery makers pay us to display their galleries;
Why aren't we getting paid to use free hosts considering we run the risk of being blacklisted, we're advertising their brandname, etc?

You must be fucking kidding me.

umm.. freehosts, indirect, already pay you. moron.

my head suddenly hurts....owww

:smokin

No. If they want more exposure, and they need lots of it to become/stay profitable, they should pay the users!

It costs them for Bandwidth etc dude :glugglug

Uhm.. you get free hosting, right? Which means you save an awful lot of dough on bandwidth.

You'd make more money using your own domain and paying your own bandwidth but hey, free hosting is free hosting at a price; the price being less sales for you. BUT, consider the money saved on NOT having to pay the bandwidth.

Asking that kind of question is like going to a car dealer and asking him to give you a car for free and pay whichever costs might be involved in you driving it. Without giving him anything in return.

Does that make sense?

I think this is a great idea.

I think you should start a host that pays people to use them. Do it before everyone else steals your idea though.

the creation of DUN DUN DUUUUN...freehost shaving :1orglaugh

lol.

And you think sponsors don't pay bandwidth for their hosted galleries?

the sponsor makes money when you do

They used to laugh when TGP owners started asking to be paid to list galleries.

We heard in mother Russia a host is paying webmasters to use them. :)

free hosts have tons of problems with cheaters, if there was a free host that paid webmasters there would be even more cheaters. it could turn into a nightmare.

i could see a free host paying tgp's to list their webmasters galleries, but not the webmaster. that would be a more likely scenario.

Free isn't enough...now you want to be paid?

Something tells me this isn't going to fly

Then the free hosts should at least pay us a % when they make money selling the ad spot on the footer/header?

It more hard work using a free host, try finding TGP and LL that'll accept your gallery/free site on a free work! You should get paid or at least share part of the income to get them the exposure they need to survive and prosper.

but...you're using their bandwidth? a freehost barely makes money as it is

They pay you in bandwidth. If you feel cheated by free hosts, you could always move to paid hosting.

they'd get more exposure by paying tgp's and link lists. if webmasters knew they could get listed without spending money on bandwidth they would use the free host.

it makes no sense to pay the webmaster.

some people just arent the smartest cookies in the cookie jar :)

Free content, free hosted galleries, bannerless free hosting, the only way anyone could make it easier for the newbs is if someone starts a program where they just pay you for signing up and not sending any traffic.....

Raven, your a moron.........
First, I'm only referring to the good honest free hosts like Lightning Free and Smutserver, King Host, and a few others.... (the cheating free hosts should die).

But these good guys already pay all the bamdwidth, and tech time, and hardware etc..... and the tiny amount of money they make from their ads can't be much after all the costs.

You want them to pay you??......hahahahaha...get a life dude, and get paid hosting if you don't like free hosting.

But LL and TGP are webmasters:)
And webmasters have alternative ways of generating more traffic beside the use of LL and TGP.

The wheel is spinning but the hamster's dead.

I can't really believe this conversation is happening.

You really think someone getting free hosting should be complaining about not getting paid for being hosted for free?

I can see you at an office job doing absolutely nothing and demanding a raise because of all the money you saved by not using any of the office supplies.

But I do use pay hosts and do pay for 75%+ of the bandwidth generated by my and some of my partners network of sites.

so? who gives a shit?

webmasters are getting free bandwidth. people don't use free hosts for search engine traffic. the majority uses it for tgp's which sucks bandwidth. if the free host could get listed on the top tgp's there would be no need to pay webmasters to use the free host.

This thread is too fucking idiotic to continue reading.

This isn't a Manny the Freak thread, why are you here?

BURN!
lol

the idiocy is blinding.

You have a bright and promising future at your local Burger King. Apply Within! They are now seeking Shift Leaders and Cashiers.
:glugglug

OK.

That is hardly a burn. A burn is what I did to him in one of his many sex party/stripper threads. Manny is gone so I am now forced to respond to the threads of the new retards.

I can not believe that this guy is really this stupid. GFY needs to have a basic skills and common sense test prior to approving people for posting.

I know I would pass...but many others would not.
