Advertise
Gerry Keane, proprietor of The Anchor in Birmingham, was the first person to advertise within this website - hence his colour advert [200x275 pixels] is featured to the right so that you can see the sort of advertisements I offer. This attractive advert conveys a simple but effective message, has combined photographs of Gerry's business and is linked directly to his website which opens in a new window. And that is essentially what I am offering to businesses - attractive colour adverts linked to other websites in order to drive traffic, improve visitor numbers and, hopefully, generate publicity and/or sales. If you have a pub, brewery or offer any services to the licensed trade this site is a great place to be seen.

Why advertise on www.midlandspubs.co.uk?
My unique selling point is traffic. This site got over 1.7 million hits in October 2009. Similar
figures are achieved every single month. But I won't be happy until it's over two million per month. So, that's the hard sell over with - after all, the figures speak for themselves. Unlike many web people, I do not hide my figures and below is statistical proof of my figures. These reports are generated by my ISP. Figure 1 below shows the Daily Usage for this website in October 2009.

How much does it cost?
My rates are realistic and therefore very reasonable. A full page banner 728 x 90 pixels, excluding the homepage, will cost £2 per month on a single page. For multiple pages - add 25p per month per page. For example 10 pages would be a total of £4.25 per month. 

An advert like the one to right [200x275 pixels], excluding the homepage, will cost £1 per month on a single page. For multiple pages - add 15p per month per page. For example 10 pages would be a total of £2.35 per month. See - I told you it was reasonable. The only caveat being that these rates are for advertisements that will appear for at least one calendar year and fees must be paid in advance.

Can I sponsor the website and have ads on every page?
Yes you can. Your business can be featured at the top of every page OR the top of every page in particular sections of the site e.g. Worcestershire pages or Brewery pages. This is very high profile and a package can be tailored to your needs for a very reasonable tariff.
