To Fouye WebSite Owner,
It seems to me that when you started the foreclosure site, fouye, Belfet.com / Belfim / Fouye, etc, you had a business strategy in mind or you had a business plan or business model in mind to provide a service to the Haitian Community.
For instance, in your websites, you used to charge for sponsored listings, which made a lot of sense in order for you to pay your bills.
I believe that's how you make a little bit of money to support your great service and that was a smart way to survive in the business.
But lately, I see that you totally change your business objectives and started to put a lot of unrelated advertisement on the websites instead and openning a lot of useless sites.
I think that's a bad idea.
The way you had it before was working perfectly with the sponsored listings.
Now, you simply let people such as event promotors, adverisers, post totally free with their flyers, business cards, pictures ...
Totally free...
That's just not smart my friend.
The other popular sites such as Sakapfet.com, sakpasemonteal.com, rockmasters.com, Haitianbuzz.com, Kompatv.com, EverythingHaitian.com, etc. survive in the business with sponsored advertising.
The Haitian businesses, Haitian event promotors, movie producers, actors are making money on your behalf free.
You are just giving them a free ride, which exactly what they want.
But other the other hand, do these business people/ promoters let people in free at their events?
No..
they do NOT, they charge people to get it and they often make a lot of money.
My point is if you do business for free, you will be out of business sooner or later.
No one works for free and you shouldn't either.
You are doing a great service for the community and others are profiting from it and you are not. You must have a lot of free to give away free.
I'm sure you spent a lot of time on your site and time is money.
Just my opinion

I really apreciate your comment, I can see that you are trying to look out for me. Thank you I really mean that.
I try not to concentrate on how much money other people make when I help them.
Instead I simply concentrate on helping them.
I apologize if helping them cost you money.
If you don't understand what I am doing, please read this book:
"Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki.

If you help enough people get what they want, you will in turn get what you want.
Sometimes we are blinded by money and that prevents us from reaching higher grounds.

You asked?

They do make money
Answer:
Although google/hotmail/yahoo etc are free, they make money (about 90% of the money they make) though sponsored Advertisement..no different than what I said. But you obviously can do whatever you feel like as long as you believe in what you are doing, and you have much time to burn...
I have no problem with that and good luck...
