Advertise at Popular Gaming Network - 06-02-2004, 06:08 PM

Hey, I am looking to sell some advertising for my gaming network, as I believe this can be more profitable for both parties if I avoid involving a third party into the deal (such as BURST!, Google AdSense etc).

The gaming network consists of two main sites, Zelda Universe (http://www.zeldauniverse.net/) and Planet Mega Man (http://www.planet-megaman.com).

In addition to these two main sites, both of them host a number of less popular sub-sites, which also generates some ad-views. It has been proved through demographic surveys that the websites main vistitor group for the network is the male audience between 15-25 years old, which typically use online stores as their main shopping alternative.

Many have also stated in the same surveys that they run their own websites, and are therefore easily interested in advertisements by hosting companies. This has been proven true, as I ran a rather small campaign for my own hosting company on the network, and I was able to get a few new clients from such a small campaign.

Well, now to the plans.

If you visit the site, you will see that there are two main types of advertisements we are selling, which are both 468x60 banners - Above and Below the content.

In a typical day we are able to deliever a total of aprox. 60,000 - 100,000 total ad views for each advertisement, so we have quite a bit to sell.

On Zelda Universe we also run a tower campaign where we generate around 30,000 ad views per day. It varies from day to day, just as the above.

Anyways, to the packages, here are some pre-made ones I have set-up:

Package 1 - Above the Content
100,000 ad-views distributed over a period of one month.
Pricing: $100 USD

Package 2 - Above the Content
500,000 ad-views distributed over a period of one month.
Pricing: $350 USD

Package 3 - Above the Content
1,000,000 ad-views distributed over a period of one month.
Pricing: $650 USD

---

Package 1 - Below the Content
100,000 ad-views distributed over a period of one month.
Pricing: $60 USD

Package 2 - Below the Content
500,000 ad-views distributed over a period of one month.
Pricing: $210 USD

Package 3 - Above the Content
1,000,000 ad-views distributed over a period of one month.
Pricing: $390 USD

---

We will also be selling some forum advertising which is sold at around $0.40 per one thousand ad-viewing.
And we are setting up a newsletter at Zelda Universe as well, which will start off with around 7500 members - We plan on sending out four editions per month, and you can get your business' name at the bottom of these, mentioned as "Check out our sponsor, YourCompanyHere, for the best web hosting plans" - or something like that.

If you are interested, please contact me through Private Messaging here, e-mail (webmaster(at)zeldauniverse.net) or Instant Messaging, my handles are in my profile.

Regards,
Lars-Christian Simonsen

Yes, the traffic is targeted at a 15 - 25 year old male gameing network.

Though it is still quite expensive... What is the CTR of the website EasyWebSol?

Well the price is as you can see, from $1 per 1000 ad-views for the premium ad-space, which is aproxomately what most of the campaigns over at BURST! go for (but they take half of the revenue in comission).

Of course, if you're willing to purchase a bigger package, the price per thousand views goes down significantly.

As for the clickthrough rate, it has varied a lot from advertiser to advertiser - The main factor here is how creative the advertiser is with their ad space, and how they manage to take advantage of it, and interest the visitors. But, clickthrough rate has been everywhere between 0,5% - 3% for the different advertisers we've had in the past.

Of course, these are just guidelines and packages. I just sold a custom deal to someone which inlcuded forum advertising, so I am of course open to other offers. Mainly I am just looking to sell the advertising.

Contact me if you're interested.
