So $1,000 - $2,000/month doesn't add up to profit?!

So??

Where is the money to be made. WHo in their right mind would host this considering bandwidth is a traded commodity and costs at least a certain amount?

If anyone has answers, please let me know.



hmmm

At first i was gonna ask wtf you were smoking, then i did some math. Say my TGP page ways 100kb (avg with no content)


10 hits = 1mb
100 hits = 10mb
1000 hits = 1gig
100,000 hits = 100gig
1,000,000 hits = 1000gig

Assuming that math is right, Lets say we hit 300k a day. That would be 9 mil per month

Lets say we are being charged $0.59 per gig, at that rate we are looking at a monthly fee of roughly $5,310

Is this correct guys?

If it is, then my idea goes completely out the window (for me anyhow) unless you can cover that expense on advertising and signups and stuff.
