[Slingblade61]

Long story, short......my Google bill for the site this month is $1200.
I'm royally screwed.
anyone who wants to help me out of this jam in any small way possible, paypal to webmaster@shottalk.com

Donations accepted, not expected.

Thanks.

google bill?

Google charges for your site to be higher up in the search results, if I'm not mistaken.

I just paid about 4 Gs in college bills, but, I'll see what I can scrounge up Sling.

That's not for everyone with a website (through other sources such as tripod).... How can they do that anyway. Wouldn't they have to ask if you want it moved up first? The charge is for bandwidth used. The more hits the more $$$. You pay for a certain amount of hits/month.

Bad time for me. I just spent my mad money. How about a bunch of you guys going for the premium membership? Come on!!

If some have some golf stuff gathering dust maybe they could put it up with the proceeds going to Sling? I'd donate my MP Raw Black Ox wedge...

it's probably to do with google ad words - where you pay a price per click through a google search - with the site appearing in the sponsored links section, helping drive traffic to the site.

They normally charge me each month....around $175. For some reason no charges were levied for 7 months and all of a sudden I got nailed all at once.

Just gathered up $60 which I paypalled to you... (I had permission from the billpayers and it's coming out my bank account)

It's not much, but every little helps!

[Slingblade61]

Thank you scotty!

Check your PM's Sling (different topic). Sorry I can't donate, I'm saving for a school trip to Italia

[SunnyDaze]

I just contributed a little towards the fund - hope it helps! I enjoy reading the forum and don't want to see it go away.

[Slingblade61]

Would it be inappropriate to create a little buzz! (white lie) Something like: "Shot Talk.com"/Golf forum, the place where Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and, Vijay Singh exchange golf tips and anecdotes (See: Premium Membership). ?? Simply insert "should" between the words Singh and exchange.

P.S. Oh! And please not not assume a "symptomatic-parrallel" between this tongue-in-cheek" suggestion and my first post (figured I'd grab the bull by the horns).
