[Simple question]How the big websites profit from their sites - General Questions and Answers

hi everyone
it is simple question and I know it is stupid but i was wondering how they can profit from there websites
Google , facebook, myspace , twiter , hotmail ,yahoo , gmail , youtube ...
also the blogs like : engadget , pocketnow ... etc
and also this great site xda-developers
Except for advertisements and Premium User
All services are free for visitors and users and this is what everyone wants
----------
coz now if i'll make website for news or or tutorials anythings I'll don't much as I want give the mew information for people but if I have a lot of visitors ,users and topics I'll need to upgrade my website from the hosting and buy more
if I am wwebsitsorking at company I'll keep some of my salary for my website and the profit from the advertisements and upgrade the websit until 3,4 ,5, or 10 years after that I'll cant stop and I want everyone get benefits from me
this is what in my mind now
but as we know All services are free for us specially like e-mails (gmail-hotmail-yahoo-maktoob) and the other website
is there anyone can tell me the secret of those websites
sorry for my bad English

Found "maybe' New PPC Free Softwares Site in Cab/Zip formats

Hi all,
i don't know if this has been made known before but anyway here is a link http://www.freecabs.de/ to a site that serves to provide ppc users a place to find free/commercial softwares/games in cab file-ready format and zip. just to mention a few like Pocket Rar, PPC Skype, Mem Release, VLC Media Player (that can stream video), Virtual Earth Mobile, UI tweaker etc. As for version compatibility, as most is not mentioned, i guess it's up to the user to find out.
I've tried to look for the proprietor's name of this website but could not find any so i could not pay any tribute directly as yet but anyway if he/she reads this, "A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU" so if any of you guys do find his/her name please mention it here. he/she did tho' include his/her e-mail "[email protected]". I think he/she deserves our thank you.
Cheers. (P.S as the url suggest softwares are free but i could not confirm this as i don't use much of them only those that i need)
The site is by Holger Schmidt
Danke Holger
Yes, i'm sorry. it's listed just below the title. Thanks.
And thank you again, Holger Schmidt.

If you have ever been lost in Munich, you know what I'm talking about.
well freecabs is great. But the site is really a portal for OTA downloads. All apps belong to their seperate owners.

Now the website is temporarily unhosted and perhaps discontinued in eight to ten months. This because the webmaster owner has a new carreer waiting ..
He will evaluate in 8 months if upholding the site is possible..

[Q] How to monetize free desktop applications

Hi.
Does anyone knows which are the advertising companies that provide ads for Windows / Linux applications ?
I'm sure that there must be many because there are freeware programs that show ads. Others offer 3rd party software to be installed, so they must be making some money to do it.
I googled for it but I failed to find an answer.
Thank you all.
umm... im not really sure what your asking or how it relates to the HTC ONE?
you know these are the HTC ONE forums?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I wanted to post to General Discussion -> Q&A.
How can I move this thread to there?
Thank you.

Hi.
Thank you for replying but I don't want to monetize free mobile applications. I want to monetize free desktop applications (for Windows and Linux).
Regards.

To be honest It is almost not worth the trouble. Most people only see the ads while installing and you have to give them the option to not install any add ons. Mix in that most virus detectors will prevent any program that installs anything else as this is considered a virus.
There is one named DesktopAd
Since your Windows app is free, I guess you have many users on it. Then you can add in-app advertising to get revenue. There are many advertising platforms which provide this kind of service. You can find the most suitable one. For Windows desktop apps, I recommend DesktopAd's ads. You just need to add their ad SDK and don't need to do many thing, you will get paid through ad clicks every month.
Desktopad.com is a good choice.
Free desktop apps are more popular. So you get relatively advantages which help you get more income by in-app ads. As you know, almost all the apps have ads in it, you can select one ad payment method. As I know, CPC is good one. Many app users will click the ads unintentionally or he has interest in the ads. But it will have a result, you can get income by every ad click. So I would like to suggest you try to search desktopad.com.

Problem with android and facebook links

Hey there! Im new to this forum, at least at writing.
I own a news website with a good amount of visits (150-200k page views per month), and seems like lately im having an issue with facebook and android. All the news we publish are also published on facebook with a link to the news on our website, as we get 80% of our traffic from it. Lately some users have been complaining about redirects from the facebook app: when they click the link on the facebook app, it redirects to ads websites, different every time. It seems to be just happening from android phones, and just from the facebook app.
If those same users type the link on the browser, they get to our website with no problem. It also seems to be happening just when using data from their plans, not with wifi, but we cant confirm it as we exactly dont know how many users have been affected with this redirects.
Our site seems to have no problems according to google webmasters tools, nothing happens on desktop version, just on android phones clicking links from the facebook app. Any idea whats going on? We are kinda lost at this.
Just in case, the site is running wordpress, premium theme, not many plugins.
Any help or idea would be appreciated. Thanks!

How to get honest free feedback,reviews on a demo app from real users and people? Find out what people think and ways to improve the app.

Whelther people like it, would they recommend it to others, they see the idea working without it's being seen as ingoring, spam, getting ban from play stores.
Does making a group and sharing, promoting, talking about each other apps work?
And what are people searching for to find your app and what coming up.
Promote the app in question on FB or Discord.
Thankyou
