First I have to attract bloggers and traffic then I'll put some small text adv on the bottom of bloggers page. Please check on the bottom of the pages the recip that going to turn into text ads!

Oh boy, just what we need. Another free blog host where people can churn out 100's of crap blogs. I use to think free blog hosting was an "okay" idea, but after I see the huge amount of mass blogging going on, mass blog crap, I don't see it as good any more.

People, If you want to make money in this business, get your own domain, only like 10 bucks a year, wordpress is free and hosting is dirt cheap.

Nothing personal Pimps, just sad to see all the crap, rss driven junk, thats coming out nowdays.

Pimp, nothing against you as I'm sure you run an outstanding service but, unfortunately you sort of picked a board to spam that does not think favorably of free hosts.

AND the question is...Is free hosting really free?

From experience, I know that if a new blogger pays attention to the information here on this forum he should be able to generate 1k in traffic within the first 6 months. But for the sake of arguement, I'll not pay any attention to those first 6 months and only use numbers from the second 6 months.

If he is generating 1k uniques and his average CTR is 13% (which is mine...pitiful I know but I'm working on it) that would mean that he is sending 130 clicks a day to your sponsors or 23.7k in that 6 month span. Now lets say the conversion on that is 1:1000, that would be approximately 23 sales. Now using revshare ($12 per sale) an approximate minimum would be $273.00 it cost for free hosting.

Compare that to:
$10.00 domain registration
$66.00 yearly hosting

Total cost of own domain: $76.00, which means someone using free hosting is "paying" a minimum of $200.00 more for free hosting. Even if my numbers are "over-inflated" a bit, whether it be on CTR or uniques it only takes one sale a month over that 6 month period to where your not finacial better off paying for hosting.

I did not understand your maths... My math would be this:
1 on freehost you generate 23.7k traffic and get those 273$ in sales
2 on your host you generate 23.7k in traffic and get those 273$ in sales, but you pay 76$ out of them

1 your profit 273$
2 your profit 197$

thats just basic view( might be harder to get that traffic to freehosted blog, you might loose a sale or two to freehost owned banner), however thats a bit different from your maths

That's how much the link to the freehost banner will cost you.

Bait.
NO ADVERTISING!!!
Switch.
...then I'll put some small text adv on the bottom of bloggers page.

you mean majority sales will go to 1 freehost banner then to 15 or whatever my banners + my blog post links?
Ps im am for my own domain and hosting, just like i said i did not understand the maths..

Ps im am for my own domain and hosting, just like i said i did not understand the maths..What's your click thru rate (CTR)? Do you think on a free host, you will get less click thru to his advertising than to your own? In fact, your CTR to your sites will decline because you will have traffic leaking to the advertisers a free host puts on your blog. Since they typically select premium ad space, the fact is they will probably get a higher CTR than you do.

So, lets say it's equal and he gets the same clicks to his advertisers as you do from your blog and you make $273 from your click thru's. You can safely assume that he made an equal amount of money from the click thru's that you generated for him.

Thats money you could have generated without his advertisements on your page, therefore you just lost money.

Ok now i understand what you saying..but 1 banner earning same money as whole blog...is that for real?

[ronnie]

might be harder to get that traffic to freehosted blog

Thats the other big problem. Least from good sources.

Usually a free hosts will take the very top spot, top of the page, prime real estate and most views.
