Thread: How Much Do you earn?

about $2000 a month these days. Around this time 2 years ago I was making $5000 a month but then got lazy, site crashed and I couldn't have been bothered fixing it. I'm feeling motivated again so hopefully I'll be making more soon.

That's impressive!

How many sites are you running?

just the one. www.free-ringtones.ie huge money in ringtones.

i know a guy pulling in over 100k a month on em.

shoemoney.com, you mite have heard of him

That is serious money

We should all bow down to you

Whats the deal with royalties and the like? How much have you to pay ack to the music cos?

An external company manages that for me, but I dont pay much as I give away free ringtones and make money from ads alone. You can get around it like that. I only pay royalties on ringtones I sell.

Cheers for the blog post, was very surprised when it popped up in Google Reader there!

Heh? Sorry I think we have a crossed line somewhere?

So out of curiosity you are just buying the ringtones from a third party and because you give them away you pay no royalites? Very sweet. (don't worry bot interested in opening another Irish ringtone site just at he moment )

I can see a tonne of backlinks going into you but dont see you in the SERPs? How are people finding you?

Yeah presumed that - actually thats how I came across this thread.

Was just wondering if I had a blogging doppleganger somewhere that I didn't know about

Funny thing is that I reckon there's going to be quite a few new ringtone MFA sites popping up with the AOL data (lots of related keywords in there).

At he moment I've got 7 of the 10 files loaded into MySQL but with each additional file MySQL is eating more and more resources to index the table...and I'm talking hours now to index

Some interesting Irish sites doing quite nicely though. Will be blogging some Irish queries from the dataset in the coming days.
