Soaring Café is now just over nine months old and we continue to provide excellent content for our viewers. We have created over 550 posts to the website—a delightful surprise for us!
The steady stream of articles, news, and classifieds has generated more than 267,000 visits from over 101,000 unique visitors, who were responsible for more than 792,000 page views. More importantly to you, all of these page views generated 8,808,000 (and growing) ad impressions. All these numbers seem absolutely incredible to Rand and me.
We hope you will consider advertising with us. As you can see, we have allocated advertising space in several locations. We have 125 x 125 pixel image ads in the right sidebar, banner ads in the header, and more ad space throughout the site. All our ad space is designed to allow for click-throughs to your site. Your advertising objectives may be to establish your brand or to target specific products to which visitors can click through directly and purchase from your site.
Below are the number of visitors and page view statistics through the current month.

We realize that everyone’s budget is tight and there are many opportunities for you to select where you place your advertising dollars. We believe that we provide advertisers a valuable tool in adspeed.com. You will be able to see exactly how many times your ad is displayed and how many times someone clicks through to your site or your product listing. You can monitor how effective your ad is and determine for yourself whether your ad is producing enough traffic to justify the expense.
Below is a table of our advertising rates.
Advertising Rates
| Location (Zone) | Size | Introductory Rate | Click to See Example |
| Header | 460 w x 60 h | $95 per month | 460 x 60 Banner |
| Right Sidebar Company Ad | 125 w x 125 h | $65 per month | 125 x 125 Square |
| Right Sidebar Product Ad* | 125 w x 125 h | $25 per product | 125 x 125 Square |
| Lower Left Sidebar | 160 w x 600 h | $75 per month | 160 x 600 Skyscraper |
| Footer | 728 w x 90 h | $75 per month | 728 x 90 Banner |
*To place a Product Ad in the Right Sidebar at the $25 rate, you must also place an ad in one other zone.
We have the ability to constrain ad placement. For example, you may not want your ad to display on a page at the same time as you competitor’s ad; so, we can create a rule that prevents you and your competitor(s) from displaying on the page in a zone at the same time. Restrictions will not be allowed which prevent other ads from displaying as often as your ad.
How to Setup Your Advertising Account
We use Adspeed.com to manage our advertising. We will do all the work for you: setting up your account, creating your ads, and applying them to a zone. We have someone on staff who can develop your ad banner or square for you. ust send us your logo and a brief description of what you want and we will develop your ad and let you review it. We charge $35 per hour for this service with a one hour minimum; most ads take less than one hour to develop. Once the ad is approved by you, we will upload your ad to our site and you will have full control, if you want it, through Adspeed.com.
