I did not put any numbers anywhere about our profits. We have a freemium model. Ads are just a small part of the revenues we make.

  "making me more money in 2 months than my day job was paying me for an entire year!" Day job of 50k / year, over 2 months, so per month 25k. 'Making money' = profit, otherwise I could be 'making' 250k / month by opening a BMW dealership and selling 2 per month - which in the real world would bankrupt me Very Quickly. So, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but didn't you say that you were making 25k or more?

    I'm from India, we make money in our currency which is Rupees (INR). I do know that 'making money' = profit and that is exactly what we are making. I'm not selling BMW cars. I write code which takes my time but needs no money, host it on GAE and AWS, which is not so expensive and so make a very good profit. Yes, you are misunderstanding what I said by pushing those figures.

      Oh OK, so then you were making in the magnitude of $250 - $500 / month back then, that seems plausible. I wasn't saying that you are selling BMW's, what you sell doesn't matter - my point was that people use 'make money' when they mean 'revenue', so the BMW is my standard example for illustrating the difference. I'm not sure why I'm being down voted - my numbers are quite plausible, I was just doing a sniff test. It would've been quite remarkable if a simple site like that would've been making several k / month after just 2 months.
