You've probably noticed that the Google and Firefox banners have been removed from this site.
I've had a falling out with Google. After generating enough revenue for them to pay some money to the site, they've decided that I've been generating fraudulent clicks, so have withheld the money and removed me. All without contacting me first to establish what, if any issue existed.
As you can probably imagine, I'm very annoyed with Google right now and I'm considering my options.
In the meantime, I've now selected a few more relevant advertisers for this site. No longer will you get the adverts about visiting Brazil (Why?!), instead you'll find more relevant football or sports related advertising.
The first you'll find at the top of the site. It's a football quiz, and we get a few pence for everyone who visits and participates in it. You can win prizes, and everyone who visits helps this site. It opens in a separate window, so you don't even leave this site!
So, test your knowledge, and help us at the same time. |

| I'm slowly loosing faith with Google as they appear to be selling out and turning into another corporate monster. The Chinese situation is a prime example of this. |

I'm gradually finding myself turning back to using Yahoo. Not just because of what's happened here, I've been doing it for a while.
Google used to be innovative, but now there's money involved, you can see their focus change.
I'm even starting to check my Gmail account less these days. |
