How does Salary.com make money?

Asked by robdamel (791points) March 24th, 2011

Salary.com serves as a database for providing average salaries on all kinds of jobs, and also as a job search engine. I don`t recall seeing any ads and for the most part it seems free. Any ideas?

It has a lot of advertising. On the home page, right now there is an ad for Monster.com, two ads for Allstate, and an ad for a book.

@robdamel I don’t know. I use Firefox too. Are you a registered user maybe?

I’m not registered, use FF & see all of the ads.

You don’t see the aflac duck when you open it @robdamel?

FF has a feature called “Adblock” or “Adblock Plus”.

I’m wondering if your particular version of FF has this as a default. It’s very effective and most people opt for it during install or update.
