| Why you should be advertising on eQSL.cc |
Unique, popular web service
Over 1.6 million page views per month!
With over 150,000 registered members in over 300 different countries, eQSL.cc is one of the top 3 most popular amateur radio web sites.
We offer a unique service not available anywhere else.
Because of the unique nature of our service, our users don't come at random times to casually "surf".
Instead, they come to perform specific transactions on a regular basis.
Demographics
eQSL.cc members tend to be sophisticated amateur radio operators and short-wave listeners (SWLs)
who are computer-literate and open to new ideas and technologies.
83% of them bought ham radio equipment in the last 12 months. Of those, 16% spent over $1000.
Many of our members are users of digital modes, satellites, and other advanced technologies that are difficult to target with conventional amateur radio advertising.
One third of our users are not members of ARRL and are not reachable via QST.
Unique Targeting
If you have a product or service that appeals only to specific countries,
we can set your ad up to be displayed ONLY to users who are from that country or countries using COUNTRY targeting.
If you would like your ad to be seen only by hams who work CW or people who would buy a triband antenna,
hams who work UHF, or if you have a VHF mobile transceiver to promote, you can request BAND and/or MODE targeting.
Please contact us and let us discuss our "targeted advertising" options with you.
Targeting gives you much better results for your advertising dollars. It is like aiming with a rifle, compared to the shotgun approach a magazine offers.
Targeting is now a free feature with all our ads!
|
| How ads are priced |
CPM (per impression)
We offer Per-Impression (also called "CPM") advertising.
Per-Impression advertising allows you to purchase a certain number of page views (impressions)
so you have complete control over your advertising budget. You only pay for the number of ads actually seen.
Fixed Monthly Budget
If you prefer a fixed price for one or more months of advertising,
we also have our ads priced on a per-month basis.

Fixed, Left column of most pages |
These are often referred to as "sponsorship" ads.
They are always present on most pages and so will be viewed by everyone.
When the user clicks on the graphic, it will take him to a URL of your choice.
Only a limited number will be accepted as space permits, on a first-come-first-served basis.
This is an example of the type of logo or ad that works well.

125x125
or 130x130 |
$ 0.50 |
$ 200 |
Randomly selected, Left column of most pages |
As each page is displayed, an ad is randomly selected from the pool of banners from various advertisers.
When the user clicks on the graphic, it will take him to a URL of your choice.
This is an example of a valid size.

| Comparison Shopping |
We think you will find our rates extremely reasonable!
For comparison, take a look at the rates of some other ham radio ad venues (as of May, 2001):
- Nobody offers the country, band, and mode targeting that we can provide you
- We are less expensive than a full page ad in QST magazine
- We are less expensive than the typical web ads
- For comparison: ScubaDiving.com: $50CPM,
