I've noticed that most other sweepstakes sites have started charging members to use their sites.  I love the fact that SweepsAdvantage is free!  Are there any plans to charge for admission?  I don't know how the site is funded - what can we do to keep it free?

.....Ken,
        I truly appreciate what you and your wife have built here for all of us
        to fulfill our sweepstakes addiction with....ya'll have done a fantastic
        job here, and ya'lls hard work has not gone unnoticed.....please tell
        the wife of my thanx....one thing that keeps me as a dedicated fan of
        Sweepstakes Advantage, is the welcoming and good spirited moral
        that gleams here as if it was an aura.....I have never witnessed any
        negativity or unmannerly posting from any of the members or the
        guests that have posted on this site....I would have to say that it
        could possibly because you have a site that is exclusively for sweeps
        and have stayed away from having forums that have topics for ones
        to post about other issues that are irrelevant to sweepstakes....I
        have visited other sweep sites that have forums of this nature, and
        those sites are full of total chaos and are not a pleasure to visit for
        a serious sweeper....I had never in my life thought that I would see
        people getting banned from a "Sweepstakes" site....but, I have seen
        it over and over on sites that are not exclusive for sweepstakes and
        contests....and...what's funny...is that those are the ones that you
        have to pay to use.....hahaha...I am so glad to hear that you and the
        wife are not wanting to make this a pay site...I really admire the fact
        that ya'll must be aware that sweepers aren't the richest folks...or we
        wouldn't be trying to win whatever is out there they are giving away.
        I try to contribute by posting a sweep that I might stumble on that I
        haven't seen you post yet...I hope that it is of some help on your
        sweep scavenger hunt mission....sometimes i feel that my sweep
        find postings are really of a nuisance for I am not the most
        knowledgeable person when it comes to computers....and I do not
        know how to do those fancy functions that I see others do...maybe
        you can tell me how to do that function where you can post the addy
        for the sweep and have it to where you can just click on it from my
        post to go directly to the sweep.....I know that probably irritates the
        H*E double toothpicks out of my fellow sweepers that I dont do that
        for them.....but, then again....it'll keep them on their toes..haha...no
        really....inform me how to do that, if you don't mind....oh...before I
        turn you loose...I read in your post about the "google" search thingy
        I was the one that inquired way back when you took it down...but,
        you posted as if it was back...now where did you hide that thing at..I
        have only seen the "yahoo" clicker thingy...maybe i misread your
        post....but, I have to say....I do miss my ole "google" buddy...so, if
        ya'll did bring it back....point me to it....anyways....Ive had your ear
        long enough....but, once again....I very much appreciate the hard
        work and time that ya'll put into this site for me and the other
        sweepsters to enjoy....the best to you and the wife....Ya'll Rock!!!!!
        ....ciao...iamthewalrus9...goo..goo..goo...joob.... :wink:

Just wanted to say thanks for the Google alert info.  I'm new to some of this stuff and I just signed up for that after reading your message.  Now I understand a posting that I read here a few days ago about someone "Googling" sweeps.  I didn't know what they meant at the time.  Thanks again.
