whats the catch? how do they get money from you just coming to their site? how do people get rich and work at home.. Whats the average monthly profit of having a GOOD site that everybody wants to come to? how do these sites like teenquotes.com and all the good names like bored.com or even the porn sites. Whats the DEAL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! if a site is a waste of time and doesnt have anything good to offer..whats the profit in paying for a domain name?

Here's just one example: http://www.cnet.com/

If you click on the tab for downloads, you'll find all kinds of free things that can make your time on the computer safer, easier, and more fun. This site offers people like you and me some real benefits, all for free. So, you're right..... they're not making any money from us.

But they know that hundreds of thousands of people will visit their site every day. And that is a very strong selling point for paid advertisers. Other companies are willing to pay cnet.com big bucks for the privilege of advertising on that site. And that's how cnet.com makes its money. This site is legitimate and guarantees that none of its downloads contain viruses, spyware, etc.

"If a site is a waste of time and doesn't have anything good to offer... what's the profit in paying for a domain name?" Well, they may not have anything to offer you, but if all they do is put spyware on computers to track credit card info, bank account info, passwords, etc., it can be very profitable for them. Because enough unprotected computer users are going to click on the site out of curiosity. And if the company can get info on a few thousand people over the course of a few days or weeks, and then shut down..... they've made their money. And they'll create another web site and pay another introductory fee of $2.99 for a new domain name so they can steal from other unsuspecting people.

with some sites that offer free stuff like anti spyware you have to take care coz some anti spyware come's with spyware
