Thank you for your interest in advertising with HomeschoolReviews.com. We are the
largest homeschool curriculum review site on the internet and want to help homeschoolers
know about your product or service.
Who will see my ads?
Specifically, people come to our site because they want to see what other homeschooling
families think about various curricula. Whether they do this through the Reviews
or the Forums on our site, they come with the intent of purchasing. Advertising
with us puts your product directly in their path.
In more general terms, homeschooling families are normally two-parent, single-income
families. Since many homeschooling parents are of a traditional persuasion, it is
normally the mother who stays at home to educate the children. A quick trip to our
Forums will bear this fact out. On average, the median income for homeschooling
families is higher than other families.
To summarize, the most likely user of HomeschoolReviews.com is probably a stay-at-home
mother from a nuclear family with better than average means.
What kind of exposure will my company receive?
HomeschoolReviews.com typically averages 56,000 unique visitors and 1.4 million
page views per month. The peak season runs from April through September, but we
achieve fairly consistent traffic throughout the year. We have 4 ad slots and your
graphical/sidebar ad will run randomly in any of the slots.
We get tons of Google and Yahoo traffic. In fact, search engine traffic is the largest
single source of traffic for HomeschoolReviews.com. Most people arrive here by searching
a particular product name or using search terms like "curriculum reviews." Chances
are the customers you want to reach with your Google or Yahoo ads will end up at
HomeschoolReviews.com.
How much will this cost?
There are three methods of advertising with us:
Sidebar/Graphical
These ads measure 160 x 160 and appear on the right-hand side of the page. Pricing
is based on a CPM or Cost per Thousand model. In this method, you pay per 1,000
impressions (ad views). For instance, if you purchase 10,000 impressions (ad views)
then your ad would run randomly until those 10,000 ads are displayed. If you are
worried about the ad views running too fast (i.e. all in one day), you can request
that we limit the number of views per day to stretch your ad campaign.
Site Sponsorship:
This program is designed to allow publishers an economical way to advertise across
a variety of products. For a flat fee per year, you will have hyperlinks on all
review pages of your products. You'll also be able to add an image or product shot
and a "buy now" button that will link to your chosen website.
Product Shot / 'Buy Now' button
If you're a publisher with only one or two titles, this option makes the most economical
sense. Affordable add-ons, like an image, product shot or company logo, and a 'Buy
Now' button can deliver buyers directly to your website.
How do I know how effective my ads are?
Our ad server software is feature packed and allows each of our advertisers to know
exactly how many impressions they have used as well as how many clicks they've received
in a given timeframe. You will receive a unique username and password so that you
can log in at any time and check the progress of your ad campaign. In addition,
we will automatically notify you before your ads run out so that you can purchase
more if you wish. Site sponsors will need to rely on their own web server statistics
for any review links.
If you are ready to start advertising with us, the first step is to
fill out this form. We will then contact you and get your account set up.
