How much money does he make?
I was just wondering how much money veins-of-ice makes off of socom3.com. Probably not that much, but considering the amount of traffic he has! There is of course an annual fee for the domain and the web hosting. But those seem to be his only costs. I'm sure somebody here designed the website, and there are tons of people who would jump at the chance to help out. There are about 14,000 registered users, and I'm sure tons of people who have just been guests, and looked around. Probably about a couple thousand are "regular users". He has several banners throughout the site, which I'm assuming is pay-per-click. So does anyone think that this website is very profitable?

He actually doesnt make any at all. Although he has advertisments, he doesnt cover all the bandwidth, domain name fee, etc. He pays for all this out of his own pocket


Pretty damn amazing if you ask me. Some ppl should be more thankful :?

Really? It seems like the ads would be pulling in quite a large sum. How much does all the domain/bandwith/etc. cost?

The banners give him no money whatsoever, the pop-ups do. So when you block pop-ups for this site you're hurting him. And as far as I know, it costs roughly $150/month to run this site.

I've unblocked pop-ups too and all I get are a few when I first open the site, that's it.

Veins blocks his own pop-ups. He doesn't mind if you block them too.
