The old Advertise page was slightly unprofessional - anyways, here’s one that stays short and to the point.

Advertising on TUK is not just extremely beneficial (for getting news about your website out) but also cost effective… you see, few other websites will allow you to reach such a targeted market for just pennies.

TUK readers tend to be aged between 18 and 40 on average, and very in touch with the internet marketing/webmaster world - should your product appeal to them, you will get traffic and sales. Due to the price relative to the quality you will get, ad slots tend not to last for very long - get in quick.

Blog Statistics

Of course, you need to see what you’re getting for the price you’ll pay - I wouldn’t spend money without seeing the statistics either.

As you can see, the blog received just over 23,000 unique visitors last month, with them viewing slightly more than 34,000 pages. For some of the ad slots, that puts it at a very affordable CPM - far less than you’d pay at similarly sized webmaster blogs.

TUK has a Pagerank of 3… and that came in just before I started marketing the blog. With over 25,000 inbound links it is more than likely that this will increase during the next update. Note: Links will be nofollow to comply with Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.

Alexa is 64,091 and this blog grows ever closer to breaking into the top 50,000 websites in the world. Again, this is on an upward trend and it is rapidly rising from the millions it was two or three months ago.

This blog is near to breaking into the top 10,000 blogs on Technorati (out of over 70 million I do believe) and with more and more blogs being exposed to quality content, backlinks to this website should only increase.

350+ RSS subscribers that read posts via RSS every single day. A statistic that is rapidly increasing as more and more people find out about the blog.

Paid Reviews

Interested in getting some exposure and feedback on your website? A paid review is the way to do it. Reviews will be written by me and are guaranteed to stay at the top of the page for 24 hours minimum (and at least a day in the archives).

The University Kid Dot Com tends to receive an average of 18 comments per post - this has not decreased for the last three reviews (in fact, it has increased). By ordering a paid review, you are not just guaranteeing yourself exposure and feedback from me, but also traffic to your website and my reader’s thoughts.

For examples of my past reviews, feel free to check out the archive.

Reviews are available at the moment. Please email me to ask about payment and any other details.

A paid review on The University Kid Dot Com will cost $55.00 and be a minimum of 300 words.

Paid Plugs

Paid plugs are essentially the same as a paid review, ie a post bought on my blog - the only difference is that you write the post. You can talk for a maximum of 1,000 words about your blog/website, and include as many images as you want (keep a hold on the links though - less than 10).

A paid plug on The University Kid Dot Com will cost $55.00. Please contact me to ask about availability for your website.

Sponsored Contest

I am always open to prizes being sponsored for a contest, especially if they are valuable and something that my readers would be interested in. If you have something you’d like to offer forward, please send me an email - prize value must be over $100.00 though.

I am always open to other advertising options - feel free to contact me if you have any ideas. You can find the rest of my contact details on my Contact page.
