The only pop-up window you'll ever see on this site

Hi. Sorry to interrupt your browsing. Can I have a minute, maybe two, of your time?

You appear to be using adblocking software. I can't stop you from doing this, but I would like to ask you to consider whitelisting my site.

I've spent countless hours researching and writing Beatles features to share with the world. It's mainly funded through some non-obtrusive banner and sidebar ads, plus some Amazon affiliate links and occasional PayPal donations.

I hate ads as much as anyone, but without them I wouldn't be able to continue. All my features, several thousand of them, well over a million words, are free to access. However, if every one of my visitors used adblockers I'd shut the site down tomorrow. It simply wouldn't be sustainable.

There is no wealthy benefactor bankrolling this site. Every single feature was written at home during my spare time. I'm a Beatles fan and love sharing information. All I ask in return is that people view the site as intended.

I don't run pop-ups (apart from this one), pop-unders, autoplay videos, obnoxious sounds, fake close buttons, interstitial ads, Outbrain, Taboola or any of those other annoying things that plague the modern web. I hate them just like you probably do. I'm proud of the Beatles Bible and want it to be as good as it can be. Unfortunately some advertising is necessary to keep things running, if only to pay for server costs.

Please add www.beatlesbible.com to your whitelist or disable your adblocking software. Alternatively, buy my fab Beatles book! Thanks for reading and enjoy the site.
