As long as we're helping out on this subject....

If photobucket is free to use, how do they make $$$...???

Some upload sites are pay to play.

Why would one pay when free is available?

Thanks.

I dunno.

I've used photobucket for a long time.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that they somehow get some advertizing dollars. If enough people use their site to post family pictures, family members will visit the site and see some ads.

Does it work? Do they make any significant money? I would think they wouldn't be in business if there weren't some money in it. People don't pay for bandwidth out of goodwill.
