Why should I advertise on the web in 2008?

Broadband and wireless internet access is now mainstream, it's not the year 2000 anymore, advertising online is now a proven success. Just consider the following statements;

• Internet Advertising Revenues Again Reach New Highs, Estimated to Pass $21 Billion in 2007 and Hit Nearly $6 Billion in Q4 2007 - Source, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Interactive Advertising Bureau.
• The growth forecast for online advertising is roughly seven times that of major media overall, according to ZenithOptimedia,
• "Internet ad spend will grew by over 28 precent in 2007, while the rest of the market grew by 3.9 percent," the media agency said in its most recent quarterly ad spending report.
• "It has taken only 11 years for internet to overtake two long-established media: cinema (which it overtook in 1997) and outdoor (which it overtook this year), and by 2009 it will be larger than radio," ZenithOptimedia said.

Platinum listings package

These packages allow advertisers to select very precisely the information against which they wish their details to be listed. They offer the following features and benefits;

Visitors to AZoM search the database of over 30,000 pages using a range of search methods e.g; Keywords, Materials, Applications and Industry.

Articles are found by searching via the various methods on AZoM and then the user views the particular technical article, data sheet, application guide or news item.

Published alongside the article are the advertisers details under the headings of 'Suppliers', 'Service Providers', 'Experts', 'Books' or 'Products'.

The user then clicks the advertisers link, taking them to their 'Supplier Profile' page which contains comprehensive information about the advertiser's company e.g; their contact details and a comprehensive summary of their activities and key products or services.

The user then clicks thru to the advertisers own website, a specific web page within their site or even a quote or enquiry page, thus making the lead highly qualified.

There are many generic articles on AZoM that anyone can list against, but only your company can be listed against your own information, thus affording you a high level of exclusivity!

Due to AZoM's inherent high level of 'search engine optimization', articles within AZoM usually rank highly with majore search engines. We're confident that in most cases we can distribute your content further via AZoM, than you can with your own website!

To provide advertisers with maximum flexibility and coverage, the 'tiered' Platinum listing package allows you to select the optimum number of articles to list against and the rates are outlined below.
