I started this website back in the fall of 1999.
I wanted this to be a class site for Mark because he is a class guy. I hope all
that have visited here have noticed that there has never been any wholesale
advertising, obnoxious pop-up banners, ego boosting about all the internet
awards I have earned from this site, irritating amimated .gif's, links to
God knows whatever websites and what a big job it is to keep the guestbook
clean from all the idiots out there that think it is a public forum for all the
crap they try to post there.(It got so bad I had to shut the guestbook down) I have always absorbed the cost of running this site all these years because I wanted a class site to honor Mark. The cost of everything is always going up. My host provider has increased my monthly rate several times and I have always just eaten the cost. But rates are still going up and I had to either do some kind of advertisng or shut the site down. This is a very popular site and I have received many, many fine emails from folks that appreciate the site and I don't want to shut it down. So I decided to try AdSense. I looked hard into this before I decided to do it. I made sure the ads were not gaudy or pop-up. All the ads are only for items related to Mark and they appear quietly on the pages they show up. I receive a stipend everytime someone clicks on the ads. I would appreciate it if you would check out the ads. They will always be related to Mark or Mark merchandise. In this way I may be able to defray some of the cost of this site that I truly enjoy working on and I want to continue a class site for the classiest driver in NASCAR. |
