mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 Xisto is earning money from Ads. So that way they are covering our hosting accounts and domain registrations. Having your own server can allow you to offer such services. Besides mycents are based on paid-to-post way. I mean you contribute to forums and help generate content and this content is crawled by search engines by getting search engine traffic, advertisers pay more to visits. So this way they generate money and give back to members by offering free hosting with concept of mycents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2010 Oh, that makes sense, starscream! But where the ads?Logout and browse the asta forum. You'll see the kontera ads on text and adsense ads below the navigation menu. When people click on those adsense ads, then xisto gets paid and from that payments our hosting charges are covered. Sometimes i wonder if xisto applied for CPM ads from ad network then how much they'll get in month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quatrux 4 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Also there are a lot of ads if you're a guest form a search engine, sometimes the forum is showing less html version of the forum, something like an archive with some ads, and also it saves bandwidth for the server, but shows all the posts.
