How come your ads are so cheap?

 

Overhead.  We have very little.  Most of our business is done by mail.  Without high expenses for employee salaries and benefits, and no large commercial space necessary, we can pass tremendous savings on to you, the advertiser.

 

Why should I advertise on your site?

 

Because we get results!  We give shoppers what they want – a large variety of products and services, and free personal ads.  We spend almost all of our time selling our site – not selling ads.  We feel that our chief responsibility to our advertisers is to get them results, and that means visitors to the site.  We have been on the internet since 1999 so we know our way around.  We have experienced steady growth from the beginning.  People visit our site because it is so much more than advertising, and offers so much more than the average daily newspaper.  We have the daily wisdom of Einstein and Ghandi below the header, the History of the Day, and the prominent Birthdays of the Day on the front page, not to mention a challenging daily crossword puzzle.  We also have online links to the best news sources in the United States, as well as foreign news sources printed in English.  We do not take any political position whatsoever.  You will find on our site in the blue column to the left the best known liberal political blogs on the net, and in the red column to the right, the best known conservative blogs, so you can read what you want or find out what the “other side” is saying.  Our site also contains one of the largest consumer advocate resource areas on the internet.  The Fast Food Nutrition Guide alone draws hundreds to our site, and is one of the largest restaurant guides on the internet.  We’ve also got a huge Fun Time Wasters on the Internet that will keep you occupied for hours and coming back again and again.  Once you visit our site, you WILL be back.

 

Why shouldn’t I just continue to advertise in the daily newspaper?

 

You can, but you are living in the past.  You are simply not spending your advertising dollars wisely.  Newsprint is dead, and your local newspaper knows it.  That’s why they are going online as quickly as they can find the resources to do so.  According to Time Magazine, the U.S. newspaper industry has entered a new period of serious decline.  The Rocky Mountain News closed, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and The San Francisco Chronicle owned by Hearst were some of the larger newspapers that went broke or began to publish only online.  Why?  Because newsprint is like 8 track music tapes.  It is obsolete.  And because the 21 – 45 age group (the group with the money to buy) read their news and shop on the internet.  Shouldn't your ad be where the Buyers are?
