How much does BigFooty make?

[chargers 09]

Heard BigSoccer is involved in a take over bid of bigfooty worth $500 million AUD

 

[r dub 19]

I vaguely recall Chief posting somewhere that BF has just recently started making enough money to support him in its own right. Running a website is a tough way to make a buck.

P.S. - click my sig.

Surely he is lying? Best deal in town + advertising= quiet a lot of money.

Server costs are pretty ruinous, then you have license fees on the software, etc.

Not too sure about memberships but web advertising doesn't exactly rake in the cash at the best of times, and the BIG group are pretty selective in what they allow (and how much they're prepared to serve up on each page load). They make an effort to ignore the most annoying (read: lucrative) ones - e.g. you don't get served popups, popunders, flashing/noisy ads. They also have pretty strict processes for weeding out and vetoing dodgy advertisers hawking adult remedies, scams, and those that serve up spyware - who also tend to be the ones who pay a premium.

I believe BigSoccer is pretty profitable, but then that's one of the biggest football sites in the world and they also have an online store attached. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure now it's established BF rakes in plenty of cash for the amount of time Chief has to dedicate to it, but I don't imagine he's an internet multimillionaire from this domain alone.

Say what?

Isn't there BigLacrosse or something? Or they sell lacrosse gear?

 

[yeah_nah]

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new BigBook Pro and the BigPhone. Not to mention the social networking site known as BigFace

 

[Caesar]

BigFooty, BigSoccer, BigCricket and exposethemusic.com are the only forums. BigLacrosse used to be a store but I think they sold it to WorldLacrosseShop.

Then they have Tript.com, which is sort of a social media site for habitual travellers.

Surprised someone hasn't tapped into the female market with a BigNetball forum.

There would be about 5 members with luke darcy being the head moderator.

Two of those members would be Liz Ellis and renowned netball journalist Ben Carbonaro. The other three would be troll accounts.

GD Board should make BigPr0n.com before some else gets that gold mine

edit: bastards.

edit: i accidently used an 'o'. success is ours for the taking.

...as soon a BF becomes unpopular and sells all of our contact info to mailing list companies.

that's how it usually works.

 

[Caesar]

I'm sure Chief will sell the place to some venture capitalists before it becomes unpopular. Change in ownership is what usually causes the downfall.

It's not like BigFooty is MySpace.

 

[Bennett.]

By the way, who's the bloke in the suit walking with Chief there?

 

[Black Flag]

bush..

[St 07]

BigFooty makes the majority of its profits from the deportation of children.

You sir should be ashamed of yourself......the OC??? Biggest load of crap in the history of television

The wire references=awesome

OC references=gtfo

Omar from what i've heard is actually based on Chief but without the violence. Fred is Bubbs and Sooz is the dyke cop.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I paid for platinum once and have never clicked on the ads and if I did it was an accident.

This site can't be that much of a goldmine.

Might have to pay up again soon so I don't feel cheap

 

[danielz_23]

I'm looking forward to the release of the Big Footy movie...

Chief...?
