delica.ca google adsense revenue and site expansion

[mark]

Some posters to this thread have asserted that:

(1) Delica.ca is a profitable venture ('cause everybody knows that, right?); and,
(2) As members of the delica community they feel an inherent entitlement to any and all such profits.

While I'm not entirely clear where either of the above beliefs stem from, I do recognize that some folks consider the notion of profits distasteful.

To appease the mob, here are the 2011 financials to date...

Google Adsense Revenues (2011 to date) = $401.78 (Falco can confirm this figure for any skeptics out there)
Server Costs (2011 to date) = $40.00 per month x 6 months = $240.00 (approx.)
Incidentals (Noahs Classifieds license @ $199.95 , RSS Includes license @ $35) = $235 (approx.)

Server costs are a bit rough admittedly (I pay about $60.00 per month but I host a few other smaller websites within that space). Nevertheless, I am hopeful that this information will help any "anticapitalists" sleep better tonight!

Guess the sites not profitable enough yet

With that kind of cash, all of us might be able to get a free hot chocolate at the next meet! Not that I'm ever able to go to any.

No one is making money with google ads other than google. I used to have them on my blog, which gets about 3x the traffic this site gets a day(about 1500 users) and the google ads would pull in about $300/year.

Um... can I have a beer? And can I have it in a lead crystal goblet? Makes me feel, you know.... sexy.

By the way the heli is kept below the foredeck, the two seater that is. The bigger one is launched from an extending pad from the transom (you can just see the tail rotor protruding from the rear hanger, behind all the windows on the lower deck. Thanks for the ride the other day, Mark ~ lots of fun and the ice cream was most excellent!
