Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You're right. The advertising model does present opportunities for folks to provide free content while earning money. That advertising, however, is one of the reasons why websites are very inefficient for the presentation of lengthy educational pieces. There are too many distractions on websites - too many things to click on or look at which aren't part of the main material. Hi Jake. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

These guys who develop free resources might not make any money from the end users, but they certainly do not do it for free. In fact, they are compensated quite well for their time through the advertiser banners you see proliferating their sites. That is why they do it. They figure they can get some decent information out there to the masses of newbies who are looking for it for free while getting paid quite handsomely by the advertisers who ultimately end up with the newbies cash.
