if I ran wikipedia.........
 

I would have many MANY subject related advertising spots on my site

that would already bring in millions and millions

AND, I will offer everybody a paid membership as well to be able to surf the current version, with absolutely no ads and banners.

Voila!

yeah thats a good idea...

all they have to do is slap google adsense on there and make millions :1orglaugh

they are thinking of offering advertising. if you say them on cnn you would have heard it.

If i ran gfy i would make people pay o post on here

that would make me millions and millions of pennies

If you ran Wikipedia ...

It'd be some shitty metrosexual site nobody had ever heard of.

What do I win? :)

if you ran wikipedia...
you would give everyone the clapp cause you didn't get tested.

Advertising would compromise their neutrality in some arguments


+ they make over $1,000 a day in donations, plus hundreds of thousands during their donation drives.

ROFL :1orglaugh !!

that is why wikepedia is so nice. No advertising.

1k a day in donations... that is pretty darn impressive

Exactly.

That would kill the site. It thrives only because of those free users who contribute to it.

Isn't the whole idea behind Wikipedia "open source"?

How can an open source model survive with a secure revenue structure?

I'm all for making money, but if they turned into a money hound they would alienate both surfers and contributors alike. Joe Blow, expert at glass blowing, is not going to contribute his time and money so Gordon Gecko can drive a new Ferrari.

yes, no advertisments needed.:winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

hahahha im sure its higher than 1k a day in donations

if you ran wikipedia would I get wikispam?
