<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFirst uploaded to the Internet on July 10, 1999, as Jimmy\u2019s Audi S4 quattro Pages, my site focused on the \u201992-\u201995 Audi S4 and S6, rare sport sedans with perhaps the best turbocharged engine Audi has ever made. It was also my first effort as a website designer. The site was built using an early version of Microsoft Publisher (WYSIWYG) and was heavily influenced by the color schemes of Audi\u2019s corporate web site at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On December 14, 1999, UrS4.com debuted, replacing Jimmy\u2019s Audi S4 quattro Pages with a new domain name, a new logo, and an all new design. I began using Microsoft Front Page (still WYSIWYG) to build and maintain the site. The site temporarily went black in horror of 09.11.01., but otherwise continued to serve as a technical FAQ for the Audi enthusiast community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2002, the latest version of the site was published, featuring much easier navigation and a cleaner layout. At it\u2019s high point between 2002 and 2004, site statistics indicate that UrS4.com got about 200 unique visitors per day, who generated about 100,000 hits per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time the site reached its high point though, my own interest in the site had started to change. I was adding more and more personal content on the site at the same time that I was ignoring the core content, which I haven\u2019t updated in over two years. So, I decided to let my friend Darin Nederhoff steward my old site here<\/strong><\/a>, at S-Cars.org. We have been cooperative sites almost since the beginning and even though it wasn\u2019t necessary, he will even be hosting a full \u201cclassic\u201d version of UrS4.com, when it was at its best. Of course, the site is also completely archived at the Internet Archive here<\/strong><\/a>. Even in disrepair, UrS4.com leaves its independent status as the 1,677,575th most visited site, according to Alexa<\/strong><\/a>. That\u2019s not bad for a homemade enthusiast site without any traffic generating features (forums, classified ads, etc.) Well, until you consider that Zombo.com<\/strong><\/a> is at 108,884. My own employer is only a little better than 1.2M. So, my new goal is to crack a million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new site will obviously be much more personal in nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About Me I’m a blogger from Austin, Texas.
