Site Info Network Info Content & Research |
FinancesIn April 2005, after almost two years in the research phase the elounda77.net site moved into the commercial arena under the Athens77.com advertising pricing structure. For more information you can see a copy of the related mail and internet release Until April 2005 all costs associated with creating, serving and promoting the site and its facilities were met, without assumption of liability, by UK based Digital Freedom Ltd or associated projects and members. The site carried no paid-for advertising and received no monies for creation and hosting of feature pages and even dedicated websites. It was, instead, deemed preferable to spend time and a not inconsiderable amount of money in order to research the type of content demanded by internet surfers and regional visitors in addition to the costs of marketing, maintaining, expanding and serving such pages, whilst keeping abreast of developments within the sector and learning more about the specifics of the region. Consequently the site gave away promotional and advertising space and services to a limited number of local parties who expressed, in person or via email, an interest in services that we might be offering. This was in most instances confined to no more than two or three from each travel and tourism related business type although, as the site's importance grew, interest was consequently considerably greater. The potential finance streams that will now contribute to the site's revenues within the stijlnet.com network are variously (but not exclusively) offered as paid-for feature pages, banner adverts, classified listings plus access to promotion space that the site affords non-Greek related businesses, other network projects and wider stijlnet.com services. As part of Digital Freedom Ltd's network of sites the elounda77.net domain's content, activity and finances fall under UK jurisdiction. |
