idiots.

that value is strictly based off the amount of hits and unique visitors the site gets. it's not what the site actually makes.

so the owner of the site or whatever gets nothing? and if google is making all that money can't they just give us the $60 a month cause they r doing pretty good

TRshady.com has never been 'for-profit' it was started purely as my coding playground, allowing me to put my skills to test (even the donation system was built with the primary intention of learning to use PayPal Api integration). Over the last five years I tried with adverts, the result:

amount made in 5 years: £1000
amount paid on server costs in 5 years: £5000
.... so that's £4000 I've spent as a teenager keeping this site running
(money coming from working parttime throughout university and using college support money)

... now the current server cost is $50 monthly, that's money I have to pay out of my own pocket, so the donation system is set up to allow people to help. Why $60 and not $50? PayPals fee's, the take a chunk of every donation, meaning even at $60 I still need to chip in myself. Plus my intention has always been to bring back competitions, extra money donated would fund this, not to mention new designs, further site upgrades, integration with web services etc.

The main point is: I don't make money from this site and I will never 'get my money back' from it, nor do I intend to, as long as the site stays above water, I'll keep running it.
