Loote - I like your valuation of sajha.com. You say the cost of 1) cost to host the server. 2) cost of the server computers. 3) cost to maintain the site 4) designer's and other crews salary amounts close to $10000. San probably hosts sajha.com and related sites on ix webhost (usually advertised on top right corner) and does not maintian his own servers. So the cost of (1) (2) and (3) are probably less than $500. I am being generous here - if you look at http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/home.dspPage/page/info.dspUnlimitedPro - it says the cost is about $20 per month. For (4) - I do not know how many people San employs other than himself and how much he pays them. Assuming it is just San - that $9500 per month. Now the question is - is sajha.com and San worth it? To me they are. I leave other people to their own judgements. To the people who are really bothered by ads - use firefox and install ad-block extension and block everything on the page that you don't like. I personally am not bothered by the ads, as of now - I should add. It goes with the scenary.
