now my question is when do these people make their money back. i mean seriously. when i see these posts not only am i less interested in the product at that time but it makes me annoyed enough that should i need whatever product there acctually advertising for i would certainly not get it from them. so i ask again... when do they earn there money back...

making people annoyed shouldent pay 3000$ per month. i been doing it non profit for like years now.

Wow. That is a load of crap there. It beats fast food pay but the work is worse in my opinion.

"Internet-manager" eh? That COULD mean anything, lol.

now my question is when do these people make their money back.

A lot of their posts, even if they are computers or parts or whatever, are really aimed at the less "informed" people I guess I could say. A lot of companies know people like us aren't going to click on them, but your average joe will see ohhh sick pc real cheap, I have to get that, and click on them.

Thats why its hard to make money from ads on a site like this. Its why jon said they make like .00002$ from the ads. People like us generally don't click on ads, just the way it works.

Now take ads and put them on a site for recipes or something similar that older people, and your average non-tech knowledgeable person visits and you will make tenfold what is being brought in on a site like this.

They make money, but as more an more people learn not to click on spam ads like that, the less they will make. But currently they can make a pretty decent amount of money from those types of people clicking, so they continue to do it.

Wow, i would have taken that job, if only for the job title!

"I am the manager of the internet, and if you do not desist making these comments, i will be forced to eject you from my internet!"

I'm off to click on a few ads to help the site revenue.

I would take that job. Proxy out, 2-3 hours a day (I spend at least thrice that on a computer per day) or just nonsensical posting for 3 large? I'd love to!

Of course, it means selling my dignity (not like I have much lol).

I wonder if they hire 16-year-olds.

I hate to say it but I would take that too if i was offered it :/
