How does e90post.com make money??

bimmer4me · 02-21-2006, 10:25 AM

How does e90post.com make money or at least break even? It's clear there is a lot of TLC that goes into making this site work, but I've never put a dime into it.

Awesome site....maybe too awesome....it's a-d-d-i-c-t-i-n-g.

i think i see a banner here and there so i'm not sure how much that brings in. but there was a thread earlier about it so you might wanna read through to find out some details...

I think there are some banner advertisements in the wheel and tire section. I am not sure if there is other advertising.

Thanks. Rule #1, do a search first.

I have the banner blocked through my browser so I didn't remember there was a banner. I wish I had clicked on the tirerack.com advertisement when I bought my winter tires so e90post.com could get a cut.

bimmerfest has that auto link to tirerack when the word "tire" appears anywhere

Who said it even has to break even? I think its just a labor of love for our generous admins.

What? You guys have not been sending Mark and Jason $100, some oranges, a box of chocolates, and a decent bottle of champaign? Shame!
