Low rates because File sharing sites hardly get SALES from asian countries!
almost all big file hosts do not have any ads on their page. Hotfile doesn't use any ads, no?Because of low pay rates from the advertisements companies
like adsense adbrite etc
and also low rate of premium accounts
BTW i'm a file hosting owner. But we don't have any rates for any countries all are the same.
Best Regards

All the so called expert comments on Asian countries are well..., out dated. And people like me are very happy that most of the folks here think like this, that means less competition for me. You can make big money from Chinese traffic, you have to know how. Asian in general behave differently from American or European. What sells in the west may not work in Asia. You have to hit the right button!
The purchasing power of an ordinary Chinese may be lower than westerner, but the number of population who has purchasing power on par or even higher than average in the west is huge. Instead of going after the rich Scandinavian, I would rather sell to those small portion of Chinese population who can afford my stuffs. The number of this small portion is many times the total population of Scandinavia combined.
Oh and one more thing. Having high purchasing power doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to sell. Don't believe me? Try taking your wonder sales pitch to Japan and see what happen. Don't tell me Japanese have lower purchasing power than the European.
@samsexy98 What are your experiences? I know you're earning from Megashare same as me. And they pay me well on Asian downloads 70% of ad rev and 20% of premium accounts. Is it not working for you?
Since you're reaching out for a solution here. I'd challenge anyone to offer us a better solution than megashare as I know from experience it pays more than hotfile fileserve and filesonic alround perhaps especially for Asian traffic.
almost all big file hosts do not have any ads on their page. Hotfile doesn't use any ads, no?
well, the answer is obvious I think. less premium sales from Asian though it is the biggest continents of the earth.
but I think file hosting will change the rates for a country if they see lots of premium sales. for example, Hotfile does not list Mexico and Malaysia in their paid download countries initially. then they change it after they see many premium sales from those countries.
Quote from Hotfile news:
Oh well, If you are talking about just file hosting service, yes I can see the same. The advertisers outside the country are not ready to pay huge amount for advertising their business in our (asian) countries. Oh but don't forget the recent Rapidshare's interest in Indian Market :D.Hey guys....
I know many of you guys use file hosting sites to get some extra income...
