Advertising options

Fulfill your marketing objectives and reach your target audience with our online advertising placement options. Compatible banner formats are .gif, .jpg, HTML, and flash.

The image at right gives a general overview of the available ad spaces available on each page of the site. These ad spaces accomidate International Advertising Bureau (IAB) stand sizes including 728x90 'Leaderboard', 468x60 'Standard Banners', 250x250 'Square Billboards', 120x600 'Skyscrapers' and 120x120 'Square Buttons'. Pop-unders and Interstantials are also available.

Inventory: Index pages

The orange areas on the page represented below are your advertising options on American Sex Gazette's "index" pages. Index pages are those that contain summaries that link to complete articles on full-text pages. They include:

Front Page (index.htm)
Canada
United States 

All ads taken on index pages will also appear in the same position on all full-text pages that are "homed" on those index pages, unless you specify otherwise.

Other index pages:

Alternative Lifestyle
Sexual Health
Sex Work
Entertainment
Adult Industry
Book Reviews

These sections are subject-matter driven supplements, as such their stories are actually "homed" on the main indexes in the preceding section. For this reason, banners appearing on these indexes only appear on the indexes and not stories in that section.

Full-text or article pages for all sections

Your options are the same as with indexes.

SITE METRICS:

American Sex Gazette is a rapidly growing site and we try to update this page regularly.  As of July 2007 we are consistently serving 5,000 daily unique readers, with 1.2 million page views per month; giving us an effective ad inventory (all ad unit sizes, 9 available per page on average) of 11.6 million advertisment impressions per month.

In addition to these positive statistics, we enjoy the regular patronage and links from large, high referring sites such as FARK.COM, FleshBot.com and Asia Times.  When these heavily trafficked sites choose to link to our content, our daily readership can reach 100,000 unique readers. NOTE: The 10,000 daily reader statistic presented above DOES NOT include these extraordinary days, as that would be misleading.

American Sex Gazette is a Google PageRank 5 & 6 throughout all main pages of our site. This is a unique offering and posture for a news site dealing with the adult genre. External link popularity from SEO guru Marketleap (www.marketleap.com) rates ASG as a 'Contender' in the 'online property market' with more than 70,000 external links linking back to ASG and our content.

These statistics are updated regularly.
