Two USB apples? Very cool! Thanks for buying through the website.

Google ads! I realise people here want to show their appreciation, but please only ever click on an advert if you're interested in what it offers. Don't click on anything and everything just to make me some cash – Google has strict rules against it.

Do the advertisers have to pay for every click as they do on Facebook?

You'd hate to have advertisers cough up money when in fact you have no interest in their product.

But I'm sure someone's monitoring the clicks on the ads, so all things being equal it's ...]]> Wed, 04 Apr 2012 02:54:02 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/lets-show-joe-some-love-and-donate/#p51677 Getting better http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/lets-show-joe-some-love-and-donate/#p51677 mithveaen said

And I'm getting a t-shirt for Paul's concert and I'll have in the back http://www.beatlesbible.com to promote the site. With the whole Azteca stadium full I'm sure more than one will see it and visit the site!!

Wow, love the t-shirt idea! I already use the Amazon link, and when I next get a bit of money, I'll make sure I donate something. 

First of all, even though there's a donate button, this site will always be free to use. I treat it as a creative outlet, to give me something to do. If I don't get to write for a few days I get grumpy, so it's Beatle therapy for me.

I do get a bit of money each month from advertising. It's approximately 1/10th of my regular salary, so not nearly enough to retire on and go and live on a beach somewhere, and if it was my full-time job the hourly rate would ...]]> Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:09:58 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/lets-show-joe-some-love-and-donate/#p51652 Getting better http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/lets-show-joe-some-love-and-donate/#p51652 I don't know about the iTunes links, but do know that if you link to Amazon from this site, Joe does get a small percentage of any purchases you make. No matter what I buy on Amazon, I go to this site first and link to it that way. I've found that if you go to the "Albums" section of this site and click on any Album link, there will be a link to Amazon on that page.

I usually remind Forum members of this on a regular basis, so it warms my heart that others are doing this as well. Of course, if ...]]> Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:30:30 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/lets-show-joe-some-love-and-donate/#p51648 Getting better http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/getting-better/lets-show-joe-some-love-and-donate/#p51648 I dont have much money but will ensure i use the amazon link here whenever i am purchasing anything on there. Also how do the links work, do you have to buy something for joe to get a small amount or does it have to be a purchase? I mean if i click on the itunes button does Joe get any cut or do i have to actually spend. I presume its spend as otherwise i could simply click it 40 times.

I dont even know what paypal is, never used it.

Paulsbass - lovely idea. I'd follow your idea, but I'm currently saving every dime I have for a trip, so I have an idea. I'll add a link to the corresponding BB page on every single Wikipedia Beatles song/album entry. As Joe said, traffic is money.

That's an idea! We all "cheat" on Joe at other sites from time to time. You know... Commenting on articles and such. Sign everything you post with " learn more at Beatles Bible" with a URL.

I'll be doing this when I have a moment to set a PayPal and grab my wallet. Which my wife has for some reason. Thanks for this amazing site Joe.

I wanted to start a thread like that on Christmas already but didn't get it done.

I never used that litte "Can buy me love" button although I'm a user and fan of the Beatles Bible for some time now, and I feel the time has come.

Joe spends SOOO much time AND money on making this site a very special and professional looking place for the fans of a very special band.

I've never seen any "amateur" Beatles site that good looking with such an amount of great information.

As we know Joe is going through some tough time right now, working ...]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 22:01:53 +0100
