Free blog hosting looking for new bloggers

[fresh]

I did not understand your maths... My math would be this:
1 on freehost you generate 23.7k traffic and get those 273$ in sales
2 on your host you generate 23.7k in traffic and get those 273$ in sales, but you pay 76$ out of them

1 your profit 273$
2 your profit 197$

thats just basic view( might be harder to get that traffic to freehosted blog, you might loose a sale or two to freehost owned banner), however thats a bit different from your maths

That's how much the link to the freehost banner will cost you.

What's your click thru rate (CTR)? Do you think on a free host, you will get less click thru to his advertising than to your own? In fact, your CTR to your sites will decline because you will have traffic leaking to the advertisers a free host puts on your blog. Since they typically select premium ad space, the fact is they will probably get a higher CTR than you do.

So, lets say it's equal and he gets the same clicks to his advertisers as you do from your blog and you make $273 from your click thru's. You can safely assume that he made an equal amount of money from the click thru's that you generated for him.

Thats money you could have generated without his advertisements on your page, therefore you just lost money.

Thats the other big problem. Least from good sources.
