Advertising opportunity for a sailing related business

Post by Nick »

As I no longer have an interest in Sailroom (other than a passing curiosity in seeing how my brainchild fares in the future) I no longer see the point in advertising it so profusely on BlueMoment.

The top right hand slot at the top of EVERY page (except the home page which is reserved for G-Comm) is therefore available. Any of you business types out there care to make me a sensible offer?

. . . but then there aren't many sailing-related business owners reading this.

I have now put a banner rotation at the top rhs of most pages. Many of these banners are links to affiliate schemes or other Webcraft sites, but some are (currently) freebies for existing advertisers.

Eventually spaces in the rotation will be offered for sale on a first come first served basis. BM has had 1268359 page impressons in the last eleven and a half months, so say 1 million page impressions a year (discounting the home page) split 25 ways means 40,000 page impressions. Say £100 per annum per advertiser - that means a quarter of a penny per display - does that sound reasonable?

Put like that, it does sound very reasonable. One month without cigs would pay for it. Now just need a sailing related business. Maybe recovery of abandoned yachts from the Atlantic?

But - I can feel a poll coming on. How many users jump from the Home page straight to this Forum, with only occasional forays into remaining wealth of info, thereby bypassing the potential adverts.
