Please consult with our advertising manager before paying for advertising through our online shop

There are three ways to advertise to our readership of travel publishers, editors, producers, presenters, writers, photographers, PRs, travel industry professionals and tourism officials...

  1. Display Advertising on this website
  2. Enhanced Profile in our Contact Book on this website
  3. Display Advertising, Logos & Lineage in our yearbook

 

1) Display Advertising on this website

 

We have two advertising locations on each page of this website - a vertical slot in the left hand panel, and a horizontal slot in the footer. Any number of ads can be displayed by rotation. The slots are designed for large 'Skyscraper' and 'Leaderboard' ad formats, but they will also take the smaller-sized variants:

  • Vertical Skyscraper 160 x 600 pixels or 120 x 600 pixels.
  • Horizontal Leaderboard 728 x 90 pixels or 468 x 60 pixels.

Clearly the larger sizes make better use of those spaces and prices are based on ad location, not size (IE both sizes are the same price).

We can display most standard advertising image types - jpeg, bmp, gif, Flash, etc - and are happy to take animated ads as long as the animation is not too rapid or flashy.

We can also take third party ad code for those sizes (eg google adsense and Amazon affiliate code).

Ads are sold in units of 10,000 impressions (views) and priced by type (ie vertical or horizontal slots) and location in the website. There are three 'regions'..

  1. Home Page (only)
  2. Public Pages (all the public pages except for the Home Page and the RSS page)
  3. Private Pages (all the pages viewed by members only and registered visitors)

Advertisers can buy ad units in any one, two or three of those regions.

 "My Dead Sea stroll to the spa began unpromisingly. An old Jordan hand chided me for breaking every social taboo in the land: wet hair (suggestive of steamy sex, not a good look in Ramadan, when romps are banned till sunset); exposed nape of the neck (erotic provocation); bare knees (erogenous zone and poor sartorial sense); looking men in the eye (looser morals than Salome, that local minx). But the irrepressible staff smiled serenely at my crimes, while possibly consigning me to Sodom, just down the track in Biblical terms."
