Also today, Tripod announces a new suite of homepage building tools and services designed to help existing members become Premier Builders by increasing the number of visitors to their pages. Successful Web developers from the other free homepage-hosting sites will clearly find the opportunity to derive revenue from site visits a major reason to relocate to Tripod. The Builder Bucks program will retain top-notch site builders, and allow Tripod to deliver even more high quality content which will in turn drive even more traffic across the Lycos Network. Members can earn cash through the Builder Bucks program based on the number of times people view advertising banners from Tripod sponsors on their homepages. In addition, members with pages averaging more than 100 page views per day for a full year will receive an annual 20 percent bonus, based on the Builder Bucks earned for the year.
Members control delivery of ads.
This gives homepage builders greater control over their site s appearance while allowing them to share in traffic-driven revenue. Unlimited disk storage space. While most hosting sites charge for additional file storage space, Tripod s Premier Builders are given an unlimited amount of storage space for their homepage files at no cost. This capability brings a new exciting dimension to homepage building. Members are given their own directory from which they can run their custom Perl CGI scripts.
