Advertising on the Flyfishing FORUM

Thanks for your interest in advertising on the FORUM.  Our program offers great value through the significant growth period achieved each year.  In the month of September 2004, here are the numbers according to ENSIM Statistics:
September 2004:
Total Requests 3,377,377
Total Page Requests 876,092
Distinct Hosts Served 38,844

We are bookmarked on the "favorite channel" short list for over thousands of registered members and enjoy over 20,000 unique visitors every month with almost 4 million hits / month and new members are registering every day.  We are currently the FIRST site listed for search engines when the words "flyfishing forum" are typed (lycos, google, yahoo, etc).

Bottom line - we are a great advertising value, and your support helps a good cause promoting flyfishing worldwide through camaraderie, knowledge, good times on the water.  This is good for your business.
Rates and Programs

 This community is supported by member contributions and business sponsors like you.  As we grow the FORUM can afford to offer great rates while serving the best interests of our sponsors...
 		More Than Just Hits

We are more than just a website - we are a true community.  Members enjoy new levels of success and enjoyment from the sharing and camaraderie we provide.  We don't just talk about it - this is a participation site.  Charter Captains join us for our Conclave events and participate actively in our discussions.  We've fished with anglers from Australia, Europe, Argentina, and all over North America.  We publish the stories from members who've fished Patagonia, Alaska, Iceland, Eleuthera, just to name a few.  Many folks even live in these great destinations.  We review products, recommend equipment, and promote professional guides and lodges - and we're already reaching further for the upcoming year.
We're committed to providing a unique presence on the web while bringing a good value to advertisers wanting to create excitement.  

I think you'll agree that our Ads are well worth the rates...

**Note: For a free Ad Design, we will need to recoup our costs if you want it to be used on another website.  The charge is $100 in that case.

The cycling ad on the main page is located at the lower corner of the homepage.  The ad is chosen randomly per every refresh, such that ads could be showing on the desktops of many people simultaneously.  Each time the user goes to the page or refreshes, the ad is chosen randomly to provide a fair occurrence of ad displays.

Main page ads carry the prestige of being viewed as primary supporters of the site.

This is a non-cycling ad that is associated with a particular story.  The banner appears at the top of the story beneath the banner with a note of sponsorship also at the end of the story.  Incorporation into the story is often suitable - in other words "on the good advice of Capt.Jack's flyshop I went to the south side".

It will be maintained as long as the story is published on the FORUM.

! If you have another idea for how we an cooperate to our mutual benefit, let us know!  Just email advertising@flyfishingforum.com

Non-Cash Payments

Equipment in lieu of payment is accepted.  Each case is discussed on a case-by-case basis.  We consider it a win-win situation to receive gear, services or promotion in exchange for ad space.

Field Testing Equipment

Although this is not an advertising discussion we would be pleased to field test equipment.  With thousands of eager testers on board we could provide a serious amount of manufacturer's evaluation forms, etc.  We would be happy to mention the equipment test in articles if deemed appropriate at the discretion of the FORUM staff.

Special Programs

We enjoy organizing epic flyfishing events and there is always room for support from manufacturers, small businesses, guides, etc.  Where there is a mutual benefit, feel free to suggest something that works for you, as I will mention my ideas to you through the year.

THANK YOU!
