WANTED: Advertising slots

Do you know of a high traffic site which has banner space for us to purchase?

Please post your ideas here as UnitedHosting needs to find new venue's to place its banner adverts.

We preffer:
- Targetted sites (webmaster related?)
- No other hosts advertising
- The more visitors the better

Thanks.

Have you tried WHT Matt? I dunno about their prices, but after the good reviews from people at WHt, and having your ad at the top of the page, may persaude people to have some interest.

Make a few banners and give some Web Hosting newbies some free hosting, if they agree to put an add on the page and promace to bring in some good hits.

I'm not sure on any community gamming forums, but alot of gamming forums have alot of members and recieve some large amount of hits. You should look into the most popular gaming sites. Or even community related websites.

Away from websites, you should try and see if you can get like a page in a popular computer magazine(s).

i know slashdot.org has banners... and mostly nerds... and a lot of nerds want webspace... but i think it's possible that /. just does it through one company... but i'm not sure.

and it's VERY high traffic.

We already "sponsor" several large sites

WHT is around $1200/month to advertise - in my opinion that is far to much considering you are advertising on a site which has about 20,000 other hosting companies competing.

Probably not what you want but they do offer cheap advertising packages.

(I had to edit this and delete killersafelist.com because they offer web hosting as well. Woops! Their hosting is not near as good as unitedhosting ;D )

Ever thought about trying an affiliation program? Like those who generate traffic to you would get a few cents per hit or something?

UH-Matt · 7th December 2002, 11:15 PM

We are starting a sort of affiliates scheme soon - basically bounty payments to anyone who reffers a customer.

(around £5 per refferal).

Matt, one of my sites (the GhostRecon one in my sig) gets 5000 Uniques a day - I'll put a UH banner up if you want.

It's a games site so I would not really anticipate that it would generate huge interest for you, but exposure is exposure I suppose.

For the next two months I am only running 1 advertiser, then I'm going back to the ad company I use, so for the next 8 weeks or so, I could slip a 468 banner top centre for you.

Message me if you want it.
