Web sites like this drive me crazy!

I click on the Daily Bikini every once in a while to check the babes and get a link... It's basically a link page with a different lady each day in a bikini. The guy seems to have run out of ladies so he's been rehashing a lot...

But what bugs me is his fundraising plea for the page for paying his web bill.

Running a web page like this costs about zilch nowadays... I'd say the guy probably pay's 20 bucks max a month.... So he needs a fundraiser?

1. Don't tell him what you think about it

or you will open the Spam floodgates. It would be interesting to see how many hits he gets, and out of that how many "contribute".

2. I guess I don't blame the guy for trying but...

don't insuate to folks that it costs a bunch of money to run the page... That's my beef...

3. well...

This site (www.thedaily.com) has an Alexa (http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup) rating of 19,950. That means of all the sites on the web, it comes 19.950th in terms of traffic.

(www.democraticunderground.com has a rank of 5,329)

A gig of bandwidth costs anywhere from about $.50 to $1.50. I can easily believe it costs a bit to run the site.

There was a time when a high-traffic site would throw a couple ad banners up and pay the hosting bill, but those days are gone. He might be a whining scammer, but then again he might not :shrug:
