Advertising Info

Thank you for your interest in becoming a sponsor on Progressive Pioneer. We are less than a year old and are growing rapidly.  I deeply appreciate the support.  Progressive Pioneer receives over 40,000 visits and over 60,000 page views each month.  Visitors are predominantly women, most are mothers, interested in natural family living and ranging from 18-45.  Traffic has been increasing an average of 20% a month.  You can reach these readers by advertising in my sidebar. 

Rates

I'm happy to offer introductory rates to help you get to know our readers and to help our readers get to know you.  Rates will be re-evaluated each time we average 500 additional daily page views.

Top Spot Sponsorship

These two sponsors will have a button at the top of the sidebar, above the fold.  The Top Spot sponsors also get sponsor thank you posts in the blog which will reach my readers who use feed readers. This post will also exist permanently in the archives. The sponsor thank you post will include a link to your site and a mention of what you do or a product I find particularly great. Each button is 125x125.  Top Spot sponsors have the option of displaying a 125x250 button for an additional $20.  The two top spots rotate every two weeks (each will have a turn at the very top).

The Top Spot sponsorship is $65 for a month.

Regular Sponsorship

The regular spots fall below the fold and are assigned on a first come, first placed basis.  As soon as a payment arrives via Paypal I assign the sponsor a position.  All new sponsors are added on the first of the month.  Each button is 125x125.

Each regular sponsorship is $50 for a month (My formula is page views multiplied by .001 with $10 off for a little wiggle room.  Just under industry averages.)

Want an Even Better Deal?

As traffic increases, rates increase.  Buying multiple months means that you lock in at the current monthly rates regardless of when we bump the rates up as we hit our traffic benchmarks.  You can purchase up to three months at once.

Now What?

If you would like to become a sponsor please email me at progressivepioneer@gmail.com.  Include the graphic you would like displayed.  Animation is welcome at no extra cost. Ads with multiple frames must be submitted as animated gifs. I will bill you via Paypal, as well as send you a warm welcome email.  Your button will go up the 1st of the following month.

Around the 20th of that month I will send you another bill via Paypal; if you would like to continue as a Progressive Pioneer sponsor for another month you can pay the bill, if not simply do nothing, no hard feelings!

Thank you for your support, I look forward to developing a wonderful relationship with you and your company!

Warmly,

Amy

The fine print: I reserve the right to refuse sponsorship for any reason and to change prices, display lengths, minimum purchases and other policies at any time. I will increase or decrease ad prices based on estimated page views and demand, re-evaluated per 500 additional daily page views. After a sponsor has paid for a spot I will not change the price or length of display. Payment for sponsorship is not refundable after the display session has begun. If you have any questions please email me.
