- Site history and performance
-
This site started regular publishing in April 2005. It now contains over 650 pages and is in continuous expansion, generating a steadily growing interest. Presently, it averages about 2000 visits a day.
The goal of the site is to provide quality information in those areas where the Authors believe they have something to say.
The revenue from advertisement is not our primary goal, but a way to keep the whole initiative alive.
- Webmaster's note (March 2012)
-
I have presently discontinued reporting this website's statistics because it was taking too much of my time from other, more important activities. I am most grateful to those who decide to advertize on the website, conforming to the website contents, banner formats and foreseen banner locations.
I think that the website is an excellent promotion forum for those who appreciate its specific content, but I am not going to spend time proving it.
Being a contents-man, I am not interested in renting advertizing space just for the sake of renting advertizing space.
I am also not interested in generic three-way link proposals or other SEO schemes, nor in pay-per-click schemes, nor in Google (or similar) generic ads. If you are thinking about sending me an e-mail proposing a 3-way link, please don't do so because I will shred it.
- Publishing your ad banners
-
There are ad-banner spaces available in the right-side vertical columns of those pages which are likely to attract many visitors
(link directories, lists of books or other references, blogs, etc).
The banner size for these areas is 136 px wide (no exceptions can be accepted) and 50 - 120 px high.
Acceptable graphic formats are JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG, and GIF. The latter may be animated with up to 24 frames.
Generally, all banners represent regular links to a single URL supplied by the advertizer, to appear in a new browser page.
If so desired, however, each banner could point to a different URL.
Advertizers generally specify the page/s where they would like their banner/s to appear. Please, try and match your ad/s to the contents of the chosen page/s. Remember that such targeted marketing is the only great secret of successful advertising.
Use the Site Plan and SEARCHES utility with YOUR keywords to find out which of the pages come up with a good search ranking.
- Prices (in US$, but equivalents in any currency are acceptable)
-
The pricing is very simple:
- One banner on one page, $20/month
