Question about websites

[elcarajo]

hi guys. im doing a research on websites. Does anybody know how websites that dont offer products and services(they only offer content much like final gear) earn?

What I have right now is:
1. ads- google ad sense,or having an image that says this could be your add to get someone to buy that ad space
2. premium accounts - more features and can be used as a status symbol
3. Donations - are these taxable?

does anybody have any ideas how else websites earn?

Unless the website is run by a non-profit donations are taxable. Websites can also generate income by nefarious means such as distributing spyware or selling user generated content.

Getting your viewers to install a trojan "spyware killer" which then sends their bank details to knock-off nigel. :lol:
