2012 Advertising Rates & Options

Screen shot 2012 01 24 at 5.00.16 PM e1327446245285 2012 Advertising Rates & OptionsClickNewz total site traffic more than doubled in 2011, compared to 2010.

Last year the site saw well over half a million unique visitors (666,014), compared to just over a quarter million in ’09.

The total number of visits in December 2011 was nearly triple the number of December 2010, with more visitors viewing a higher number of pages per visit.

Engagement is up!

And 2012 looks to be even more promising in terms of growth. icon biggrin 2012 Advertising Rates & Options

All of the traffic is organic and highly targeted. Top traffic sources are major search engines, social media and personal referrals.

To give you a side by side comparison, here are AWstats screen shots for the single months of December 2010 and December 2011:

Social Media Reach

These numbers are current as of January 24, 2012. I post manually and individually to each of these social networks, and interact personally there.

In addition to the social media reach, there are almost 10k subscribers between RSS & Email at any given time, with a high per-item click through rate.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Single Post Stats

While overall stats are fun and interesting, I pay special attention to the stats of a single page or post over time. Achieving a top 10 ranking and funneling highly targeted traffic into specific pages is my specialty.

For example, my post about starting a free online business was written more than 3 years ago (August 2008). In 2010 alone, it saw 31,883 visits due to top rankings in Google for multiple long tail keyword phrases. In 2011 it saw 71,594 visits. Yes, more than double the year before. Again, this is a single blog post that was written almost 3 1/2 years ago.

An optimized post here at ClickNewz using a very specific keyword phrase, with a strong call to action in the post, can be worth quite a bit… icon wink 2012 Advertising Rates & Options

Advertising Options

For a limited time I am going to continue the 2011 advertising rate. You can get side-wide exposure as a ClickNewz Sponsor for only $500/month. I only accept TWO at any given time.

You can secure a sponsorship for the entire year for only $3600 (40% off the monthly ad rate). See the two ClickNewz Sponsor spots in the right sidebar, above and below the “Hot Topics” section, as an example.

Ad Images will need to be 300 pixels wide minimum, with a maximum of 250 pixels high. Send a link to your graphic, the destination URL, and your preferred Alt Text for the image with your advertising request.

Please use the contact form to submit your ad details for consideration. Sponsors are hand selected, and so I will get back with you personally on your request.

Option #2: Featured Editorial / Review

I will write a quality blog post reviewing/discussing your product, book or website for $250. This includes a keyword-optimized post, minimum 500 words, targeted exposure to my active readership, and a permanent inbound link with the anchor text of your choice.

This post will also go out to my mailing list and social media channels.

As I mentioned earlier, one well-optimized blog post can continue to serve you for months – and even years. Here is an example of a sponsored post, to give you an idea what you can expect: Affiliate Article Writers.

Not all requests will be accepted. Again it must be relevant and of interest to my readership. I reserve the right to accept or deny post sponsorships at my discretion.

Please use the contact form to submit your ad for consideration.

Include your URL, preferred anchor text, and the angle/topic you would like covered. Please include as much detail as possible. If your editorial ad request is approved, I will send a reply with payment instructions.

If you are interested in text links only, please contact me through the form for current rates & options. And if you have specific advertising needs or interesting ideas… I’m all ears. Get in touch! icon wink 2012 Advertising Rates & Options

Brand New, Must-See: iBusinessOwner

ibusinessowner Brand New, Must See: iBusinessOwnerJimmy D. Brown has just released some incredible training material… with an interesting twist!

The cool thing is that it’s only $10, and that $10 is credited back to you to spend on any of his other products.

Sound confusing? It’s not. icon wink Brand New, Must See: iBusinessOwner

You can see the details at:

http://www.iBusinessOwner.net

I decided to sign up this morning and check it out. Honestly, it’s a steal at only ten bucks considering the source. Jimmy D. Brown is one of the longest running successful online marketers, and his training material has always had a gold reputation. I’ve purchased several of his products over the years and have never been disappointed…

While it’s great to be creative and innovative in your business, you can’t dismiss the power of learning from those that have figured out solid strategies that work.

Often I will purchase products or services from people in the industry just to study their model – with the product being the bonus.

Jimmy’s products have always been my favorite because he actually DOES what he teaches, so you often end up with a live working example in your hands along with the step-by-step training.

I’m off to log in and check it all out, and I recommend you do the same. At the very least scan over the page and take a look at what all he is offering for only $10:
