This is my online notebook. I won't call it a blog, because it's never likely to be anything more than musings of an eclectic life's interests. On the other hand, it is where I can keep the odd random note or piece of information related to the main website, without cluttering up the navigation. Thanks for dropping by.

After playing host to a rotating army of Google Adwords advertisements for several years, I've finally pulled the plug. The reason is simple enough; they cluttered the interface, and more importantly, they never generated any revenue for the site. Don't worry, GMPIV.Com isn't going away anytime soon. At least, not unless I do, in the more permanent sense. Having a website running continuously for fifteen years is pretty cool. Actually *maintaining* a site for so long is uncharacteristic. I wonder what it will be like in another 20 years, when the people who really got into the Internet during the first boom are retiring. As a percentage of the population it must be fairly low. Perhaps something similar to the number of people who actually clicked on the ads. |
