The site appears to make its money from advertising revenue generated by popup ads and Google AdSense (where they earn a commission every time someone clicks a link).

Third, like Hotmail.com did when first starting out, YouSendIt.com encourages message recipients to turn around and use service to send files to their friends.

This "viral marketing" effect should help them spread word quickly without a huge marketing budget.

DropLoad.com also enables users to send large files, though they restrict file sizes to 100 MB.

However, DropLoad.com offers one extra feature lacking in YouSendIt: delivery confirmation.

Dropload enables you to know when person you sent file to actually clicks link to download file.

This cuts down on "I never got file" claims and acts like Post Office making them sign for registered mail.

You can't prove they read it, but you can prove they received it.

DropLoad.com does require you to register for a username and password, but service is free.

Overall, both services do an excellent job of solving a growing problem for a huge audience worldwide.

Also, if you sell information products customers download from Internet, link expiration and confirmation features can come in handy (such as giving out free samples or preview copies to potential joint venture partners).
