There are a myriad of web sites for gay dating, information, travel, and so on, out there on the Internet, and although I don't usually recommend any of them in particular, some are better than others.
My personal 'hate' is the ones that because you are running a gay business, seem to think that you make a fortune and are therefore prepared to pay a fortune for a link or posting, but then you find that many of the advertisers are actually huge multinationals who are just trying to cash in on the 'Pink Dollar or Pound' and whose product is not actually specifically 'gay' at all! In fact I am often certain that the people that run them are not gay or lesbian, just straights trying to pretend they are gay.....
The cost of adding a link or an ad on to a site is minimal, and once it is there it should be there forever, as I feel that the Internet should be a free source of information for everyone, which is why you will find much information given freely on my own web site especially tailored for the gay or lesbian travel ler to Crete, Greece, so when I am approached by someone asking for a link to what is obviously a gay owned and run site, I am only too happy to oblige if I possibly can, after all what is a few minutes of my time to add a weeny bit of code to my site?
Of course we would all like to 'monetise' our site and even mine has some Google ads on it as well as some other 'earners', but these only go to pay for the hosting fees (essential if you want a good reliable a host that provides you with all the stats that you need with a minimum of downtime) and the incredible amount of bandwidth I take during the summer months, so when Ryan from Gaypedia approached me for a link, I was only too please to help, as he was trying to make the site more useful by providing information for his gay users and not just trying to make a bob or two by selling advertising!
What you see here is the end result......Gaypedia is a relatively new gay dating and chat site and Ryan has incorporated features likes blogs and reviews from the outset rather than bolting them on afterwards!
