Quote - I have to admit that I don't understand how they are making money from it. I saw the word "ads" mentioned but I haven't seen any advertising on the sites where I have downloaded stuff.
A lot of users are using Firefox with Addblocker installed.
There is no "professional advertising" on shareCG. You see ads only if you have Javascript enabled and no other filters active. I switched my addblocker off and allowed Javascript if it comes from shareCG. Still no adds. Because you have to allow Javascripts loaded from "alien sites". But this is a no-no for a lot of users these days. Escpecially because my IP-Filter says: "Access from/to spyware server xxxxx blocked".
Seems there is a lot of work to do before this site is able to make a remarkable amount of money with adds.
