- Google Ad Sense has suspended our account. Seems we had too good of a December. They said they will do some research and decide if we can remain in their program. This was after being with them for 6 years and bringing millions of views to their advertisers. Added bonus they told us there was no timetable for a decision.
- Our current contract with our website provider ends on February 1st 2021.
- For our next yearly contract they want a healthy increase to support the added increase in traffic.
- This is putting us in between and rock and a hard spot. As our traffic increases the more the website costs us to run.
- As I type this….I am leaning more towards pulling the plug than renewing for another year of increased website provider costs. WoC is leaning towards moving forward for another year.
- Just figured I would let people know what was going on behind the scenes at UMR.

Thanks to all for the support. Happy to say we have re-upped our contract for another year. Call it bad timing. But in a 24 hour time period….we got (a) two bills to maintain our Ultimate Movie Rankings LLC status (b) an e-mail from our website provider requesting us to renew with them and how much they wanted for the next 12 months (c) our website going down again! and (d) Google saying they were suspending our account for the time being. This dragged my normal positive attitude through the mud. Four days later, that positive attitude is back….as well as UMR for another year. Thanks again for the kind words and the support.

Thank you bob cox…I will look into concert….thanks for sharing the link.
Cogerson, please let UMR users help with a donation paypal account or something.
i encourage you to contact the publicity departments at movie production companies and theaters and movie channels(TCM) to see if they would like advertising space.
Hey bob cox….WoC and I are discussing lots of options…..doing a “keep this website running” campaign. Good suggestion about TCM….we have sent out an e-mail to a marketing director at Netflix…..seems we would be a good match as well. Thanks for the kind words, the support and the suggestions.
Hey Bruce,
Sorry to hear that. You’re a victim of your own success! Hope you find a way through it. Seems January 6 2021 was a terrible day in more ways than one.
Hey PhilHoF17…I think you are correct. Victims of our own success. But we will continue on. Sorry I got frustrated. Dealing with Google can be difficult at times. We once had to spend days arguing over a Michael Caine trailer page….The Romantic Englishwoman. On the good side…I will not have to worry about issues like that. Thanks for showing your support for UMR.
Sorry to hear this Cogerson. I hope you do not give up. I like others would be more than happy to support this website.
Hey Helakoski…..thanks for stopping by and sharing your feedback. If you can take care off of the utilities for the UMR Hall of Fame Musuem….I think we can make it…..lol. In all seriousness…I greatly appreciate your willingness to help out…..currently……we will take care of all expenses in house. Happy New Year.
