Where does SpanishDict get it's funding?

Question

There has obviously been a lot of work put into this site and therefore a lot of money. Where is it coming from? Where is it going?

Answer 1

The same way all internet companies make money...they make money from the advertisers. The more users they have, es decir, the more eyes they have looking at ads, the more they can charge for the space. That is how free internet sites make money.

Ahh, I see...But what about senior members that don't have to look at as much advertisement? o-o - fatcinnaroll, Oct 7, 2009

It seems to me that the professionalism of this site is of a greater scale than ads could pay for (ie. all the videos). Where did the original money come from? - morphine, Oct 7, 2009

Is it really that important? I just appreciate that the site and it's founders simply are :) - Issabela, Oct 7, 2009

Answer 2

Aaaaaaaaaand it has a lot of friends and free help, like admins and forers alike whose help is free ...just for the sake of it. We just love it here

You and the rest of administrators are great! I wish we could show you how much we appreciate you. - Zoltán, Oct 7, 2009

Answer 3

The same way all internet companies make money...they make money from the advertisers.

Not "all"! Some, perhaps most, but definitely not all. My company, Black & Decker and others like Amazon sell things and do not advertise for other companies. They don't want you to be redirected to somewhere else, maybe to a competitor.

Answer 4

We'll have to ask our site administrators that, I don't think any of us normal members knows XD.
