Meneame

One more site who does'nt know how to make money...
At least this one was created by people just investing some time and having fun achieving a technical exercice rather than starting by raising some millions to burn.

How to make money out of a successful site, offering free news content to its readers.
Well I can't find a huge number of ways:
1- make people pay for the site or parts of it = kill the chicken before even delivering the golden egg. Most of the users will either continue only on the free part, or go away.

2- advertisement:
a- Banners: seems to me as the old generation way tp make adds on the net. Not efficient and probably not very profitable
b- Interactive adds aiming to proposa and add relevant to what the surfer is reading or used to read. Much more efficient, probably percieved less intrusively by the surfer (who can even find it useful).
The problem is how to do it because it definitely needs an application which scans what are the users' habits, readings,... Two choices:
aa- develop an in house one (which can even be sold afterwards to other sites. Time & Money costly
bb- Start with Google adsense, and than, eventually, develop an in house application if not satisfied with adsense.
