What today's webmaster has become...

Something else that webmasters today need to understand is that you might have to pay for something out of your own pocket once in awhile.

Yes, you should pay for your own hosting.
Yes, you might have to pay to use a script.
Yes, you might even have to pay for a bit of content eventually.

What? Pay? Are you crazy?

How much you think those poor webmasters are making burning fries anyhow, you cruel bastard?

Yep, I contributed my thanks for using AE as an example of simple design of course. But also mentioned that the others are pretty easy.
Best to get bulk links, learn the format, and you should be all set.

Things are somewhat on their head from 5 years ago even. I explain to affiliates pretty regularly that when I started, there was no such thing as "free content", and "free hosts" loaded the headers AND footers with way better pulling ads than you or I could do. BW was NOT cheap and on and on and on..
But still, I'll get the rare affiliate who is angry that his sales from a free template we provide, using free content we provide, on our free hosting, did not make him as much as it "should have" with his PAID spot on the hun!

On its head I tell you. And I'm a n00b in this thread, haha.

It's crazy Tom, for sure! LOL

You might be the noob in this thread, but you have just nailed it on the head!

I used to love my headers on our freehosts. Miss those days.

heheheheh banners....

I made a big deal about some of our freehosts being "bannerfree" cause "Hey , I own Netpond and I'm here to help newbies" and just skimmed off any traffic from...aol...yahoo...and made "soup" with it

Nowadays that is legal!!!

Takes all the fun out of it....
