Finances

Income generation

The project did generate income.
When the site was promoted and supported it made $5k-$7K a month.
The domain has never been promoted through paid placement. The idea was to invest into ourselves (vs. advertising company). Our efforts concentrated around "natural", and it paid off on long run. 3 years later we're still at the top positions.

Up until 3-4 months ago, the site has been generating in the range of $200-$800( This is after 3 years of "free fall")

- Memberships sales were the only source of income.
- Site NEVER had any affiliate program setup.
- SIte NEVER had any advertising. Google adsense block that you see on 1st page has been placed there 2-3 months ago. It generates about $50-$60 per month.
