Web Site Advertising Guidelines

See below to list your product or service on this Web site.
See this page to advertise in the weekly newsletter.

Overview

We invite you to have a 24/7 presence on the SNN Web site.

Web site advertising info

There are two ways to list your product or service on the SpeakerNet News Web site:

Why should I have a listing on the SpeakerNet News Web site?

This Web site gets more than 7500 visitors each month, visitors who are looking for specific information targeted to them.

For many visitors, SpeakerNet News is a known and trusted source of information.

We think you’ll find that listing with us provides you more new customers than advertising in industry magazines.

General listing guidelines

  • Each listing is limited to 25 words describing the product or service. If you have more information, put it on your Web site. Count each word in hyphenated words: “Father-in-law” is counted as three words. Phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs each count as one word.
  • A listing is all one paragraph, not “stacked” in separate lines or paragraphs.
  • We do not use all caps titles (e.g., BEST IN THE BUSINESS). However, if you want to offset key words or phrases, put them in UPPERCASE and we will put them in bold, or use an *asterisk* before and after and we will italicize them. Note: bold and italics are used for emphasis. We won’t put your whole listing in bold or italics.
  • To track the results you get from your listing, have your email link point to a unique address, not your general mailbox, and have your Web link point to a unique page.

How do I pay for my listing?

By check or credit card. See details below.

Terms and conditions

Renewal. All listings are automatically renewed until you tell us to stop. Any cancellation after the first of the month will be charged for the whole month.

Quality control. SpeakerNet News reserves the right to refuse or cancel listings. Listings may be removed if SpeakerNet News receives unresolved complaints from customers—or if you tick us off! (You, of course, can cancel at any time if we tick you off!) Pro-rated (by month) fees will be refunded if a listing is cancelled.

Acceptance. By submitting your listing, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these terms and conditions.

Tips

  1. Although you may list several pieces of contact information (name, company, address, phone, email address, Web URL), you don’t need to list them all. If you just want your name and city and state, and not a company name or street address, that’s fine.

Compilation Page Sponsorship Listings

Description

The Compilations section of the SNN Web site has collections of responses sent by SpeakerNet News readers to a question posted in the newsletter. These pages are popular because they give answers to common questions.

If you have a product or service that’s related to the topic of a compilation, sponsoring that page would put your message in front of people who are looking specifically at that page. That’s a targeted audience.

See a sample compilation page with sponsors.

Compilation Sponsorship Listing rates

  • $99 per year per compilation category

  • $30 per quarter per compilation category
