Don't misunderstand me please Liz, I know your not in a position to divulge aebns financial income status, But I'm sure you could come up with some sort of general percentage stats for the public to back your answer please. If you don't know... "Go ask your boss" what was that chess playing guys name again???

She didn't answer his question, she threw him a sales pitch line.
and I ask for a more specific and clear form of an answer for this guys question, (reasoning already posted above)
Actually, the entirety of his question was "do I have to have a website?"

I responded with "If you have a domain..." Which is an answer to the question he actually asked.

Because different webmasters have differnt goals, visions, and requirements, I am loathe to delinate them at length on a board just in case I hit on the right one -- so I asked him to contact either me or April directly. It seems to me HAD I gone to lengths to describe the myraid ways AEBN can work with a site, that would've been a sales pitch - saying "I'm happy to talk to you" hardly qualifies.

Should you like to discuss retention, I would be happy to do so at greater length off-board. However, the short answer is this: there are any number of webmasters who never make any money at all, simply because they do not promote their own site, refresh their galleries, use tools available to them, or other factors. There are other webmasters who make several thousand dollars a month in new and recurring revenues because they make their dites a priority. Much depends on the webmaster's approach.

As for "chess-playing guy," I really couldn't say - I've never known Jerry to play chess, but I will happily admit if I am mistaken.
