Decor, Decorating, & Design
A FREE bi-monthly home decorating ezine!
published by KatieDid Design
 
 

Advertising Information, Rates, and Availability

      There are two ways that you may advertise your website or ezine through KatieDid Design.
 
      You may request a link exchange. If your site is approved, your link will be listed in the appropriate category on my links page. If you want to do this, review the important information and submit your link request.
 
      You may also advertise in Decor, Decorating, & Design, my free highly-targeted bi-monthly home decorating ezine. This is an opt-in ezine ONLY, and a copy of each subscription request is on file. If you would like to advertise in this publication, you may either request an ad swap if you have an ezine, or you may purchase ad space. The current rates and subscriber base are below. Rates are changed on an ongoing basis to reflect the growing subscriber base, and are therefore subject to change without notice. Please read the requirements, description, and rates below, then fill out the form to find out about availability and request a review.
 
 
From an advertiser:
 
"Hi Katie, I'd let to let you know that advertising in your newsletter has proved to be a great advertising opportunity. Every ad we have placed has paid for itself, (usually in one or two days the ad running). And hits have gone up significantly. Sometimes we've gotten over 130 unique visitors in one day because of the ads. I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future."

Subscriber Base
 
      The subscriber base as of 10/11/04 is about 13,000 opt-in subscribers. I offer the option of advertising in all published issues, or in 1/2 the issues (about 6,000 subscribers) for 1/2 the price. Both prices are listed below on the availability chart.
 
FREE BONUS
      Each issue gets posted to the website several months after it is published. They are posted in their entirety, which means that your ad will be included permanently. This is additional exposure indefinately for you, and a FREE web link back to your site. These pages ARE indexed by the search engines. If an ad spot is split, then both are included online, side-by-side.
 
 
Value

 
      This publication goes out twice per month. Each issue has one Premium Ad Spot, one Feature Ad Spot, and a classified section, for 1-3 classified ads. In addition, the second issue of each month has an 'Ezine of the Month' section which is available for advertisement of quality ezines. This section is regarded as content, rather than ad space, which makes it extremely noticeable. In addition, my readers know that I personally review and accept only quality ads that I believe will interest them.
 
 
Ad Requirements and Limitations
 
      All advertising submitted is subject to approval of the editor and publisher. These officers reserve the right to refuse any advertising content that does not meet this ezine's standards.
 
      I highly recommend that you read up on proven ezine advertising tips to increase the effectiveness of your ad. Articles such as 10 Tips for Successful Ezine Advertising, How Effective Are Your Ads?, and How To Get People To Read Your Ads include valuable information that may be able to assist you.
 
      My ezine is formatted to a 60 character width. Each ad is allowed seven lines for the ad, plus several lines for a coded link to make it clickable for 99% of readers, including AOL users. So you do not need to include your URL in the 7 lines allowed. If you are offering an email address, as well as a URL, then both will be included and coded. This is an added bonus for you since easy clicking results in more clickthroughs. I reserve the right to code these lines in the same way that I code all links in the ezine. They are generally coded coded as:
 
Your Site Title
http://www.YourSiteURL.com
AOL-ers:
<a href="http://www.YourSiteURL.com"> click here </a>
 
    The Ezine of the Month section is written as content, and may therefore be more than seven lines. I will personalize it, but please tell me how you would like me to describe and advertise your ezine.
