"How does ohloh earn money?"



Dear Forums,

actually, the title says all. I am wondering why this is a profitable website, how the company earns money. Please note that I do not want to know about you partners (if any) or something similar, that can be considered private - I'd rather like to know about the principle(s). I am currently checking how websites that do not use ads stay profitable, especially those which are polular, and thus expensive to run (wikipedia gets bounties, youtube has ads plus the rights to use the movies for whatever they want to, ...).

Sincerely,

Hi Expose,

Right now we really don't make money, but we plan to roll out some services in the future that we hope folks will want to pay for. We'll be ready to talk more about that in the next few weeks so that we can get user feedback on some of these ideas. So please stay tuned. We would like to hear your opinion.

Thanks for your patience.
