How does Giantbomb make revenue?

No commercials on the site, as far as I know. How do they do it?

By ads. And they sell cool stuff like T-shirts.

Well the new Kane and Lynch is coming out, and im betting Jeff Gerstmann wont make the same mistake twice hehe

" No commercials on the site, as far as I know. How do they do it? "

Adverts. Although they rarely have adverts because building up a userbase is more important at this point in time.

Ads. just like everybody else.

If i get a buck for each time this question was asked, i'd have... several bucks indeed.

I've also wondered this. I'm pretty sure they don't sell their member lists. They could lisence their API, but they seem to do that for free. Clearly these guys know the secret to making money on the internet.

THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST ORIGINAL THREAD EVER CONCEIVED

they have ads all the time.   with short windows of nothing.  they only do huge games.

They sell Brad's stuff.

Stop asking this stupid fucking question! Fucking fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Sometimes, the wiki page on a specific game will have a heading called "luchadeals" which links to an online store that's selling said game for cheap. I assume that generates some revenue. It's a way for them to generate advertising dollars while creating something that is unintrusive and in some cases actually helpful to the user.

How do Ads make money?

"services rendered" behind the scenes... nuff said.

every time someone says they like Deadly Premonition in the forums they get paid $1.

They sell drugs on street corners.

Isn't Whiskey media owned by some billionaire who sold geocities or sommin? even if im wrong im sure there is some very rich guy funding this stuff.

this again? :(

They use ads and sell shirts.

Advertisements, but they are trying to build a user base currently, so there aren't many that you'll see around the site right now, if any. If you pay attention to the site, you'll see them once in a while, but for things related to gaming. It's not the crap they show on Gamespot or IGN, and it'll probably be way less frequent.
 
Gotcha. :P

Jeff Gerstmann is a top-charting musical artist and a real fly guy, yo. He gots da bills for ya.

this site is still new. there aren't a lot of users here compared to other sites. sometimes there will be ads here.

I say it's government funding.

Also the iPhone app brings in some.

Taliban Opium Smugglers, and human trafficking in morocco.
 
Also, adverts.

Vinny pimps Brad on various corners of the Bay Area.

Pimpim' 

He asked a question, and forum search is down.
 
Stop being a bunch of complete cunts to him, man alive.

I've wondered about that too . Then again I see them going and know they really make good money

How should I put this, on the weekend Jeff provides "favors" for certain types of "customers" in exchange for a small fee.

Remember when Obama first became president? Well the Giant Bomb crew was part of the jewel heist with Obama and McCain.

" @MarkWahlberg: Successful troll is successful thnx "

Wait... Giant Bomb has ads? 

" He asked a question, and forum search is down.  Stop being a bunch of complete cunts to him, man alive. "

The site embeds scripts that add users to a zombie network that does DDoS attacks for $$$. ill-gotten money. From SOLAR POWER!!

Where have I read this topic before? 
 
It seems very familiar. 
 I just cant put my finger on it.

Have you ever seen the movie Heat?
