Need more ads - irony

Hey, since you're here - I had a thought about sites that I would click through to on a regular basis.  Amazon, for sure.  Put a link to Amazon here and I'll use it whenever I go there.  Rockauto, definitely.  Home Depot.  I'll think of some others, but there are probably some obvious ones.  I don't know how Google AdSense works exactly, but maybe you can lock a few ads in that will make the site a portal to other sites, that sell things besides Z car stuff.

Edit - and, more generally, you could move some ads off of the more prominent spots.  Like, I'm probably never going to buy a new Chrysler.  Or a Michelin tire.  

Interesting idea, thanks!  I'll take a look to see if we can create a more direct style advertising area.  The thing about Google Adsense, is they typically taylor the ads to the site content (in our case automotive) and read your cookies to target the sites you've been visiting.  It's not an exact art, but, it does work fairly well.  And, of course the company has to buy the ad space, of course.  If Home Depot doesn't participate in Adsense, it wouldn't work.  However, I think Home Depot is big enough they likely have a huge budget for this kind of thing.  Anyway, interesting ideas I will take some time to see if I can target some more specific areas.

Just to be a pain, I miss the old main page, I liked the picture and being able to scroll down and see larger versions of the latest post.

Yep, the kiss in the background is from the Black Gold Z commercial.

Hmm, I know I can't please everyone but I could work on the larger sized recent posts.  Let me work on it a bit over the next few days.

No problem either way.  I eventually get used to things once they change.  It just takes me longer and longer every year
