Why advertise with us?  

Booze-cruise.net overtakes it's closest rival! We use a number of devices to monitor the popularity of our site; one of the most important being Alexa. Some 10 million Internet users across the globe have installed the Alexa Toolbar, which as well as offering the user numerous browser enhancements, helps to monitor websites' statistics. The figures quoted below are, of course, volatile, but they give a good indication of which sites are frequented by the 10 million Toolbar users. These figures from Alexa suggest that visitors view more than 5 times as many of our pages per visitor than those of the website we consider to be our closest competitor (who has asked us not to refer to them by name). 20th December 2005 Page views per visitor - 3 month average: Booze-cruise.net: 12.6 page views per visitor Competitor             2.2 page views per visitor One characteristic of a successful website is not one that just attracts visitors, but one where visitors want to stay a while. Potential advertisers should be aware that these figures suggest that when people visit booze-cruise.net they tend to stay on the site longer than some of our competitors. This may be because of the simple navigation, the fact that visitors like our content or that fact that according to Alexa, booze-cruise.net is somewhat faster to load: Booze-cruise.net: Speed: Fast (97% of sites are slower), Avg Load Time: 0.3 Seconds (20th December 2005) Competitor:                      Fast (64% of sites are slower), Avg Load Time: 1.3 Seconds   20th December 2005 Traffic Rank - 3 month average (The lower the better): Booze-cruise.net: 98,951 Competitor :       104,480 All our listings are 'enhanced'. Some websites charge the stores and hypermarkets for 'enhanced listings'. We do not. With booze-cruise.net, store owners do not have to pay for enhanced listings - we do it automatically, so why pay for what you get get free of charge? (Does not apply to advertisements for accommodation.) This also means that visitors can be confident that information is independent and unbiased. Advertisements on our site can be used to shepherd visitors to the listing in question, or to the advertiser's own website. Our Advertising Our advertisers may choose (subject to space) which page their advert appears on. We will design the advert for you at no extra charge or you may send us your own graphic. It is important to change the look of the advert from time to time, so we will either change the colour scheme periodically on your behalf, or if you want to use your own graphic, you may send us updated versions from time to time. Each month, we will publish a list of our most popular pages enabling advertisers to make informed choices about the placement of their adverts. Cost Comparison Our rates are simple to understand. We currently offer three sizes of advert and our prices compare favourably to those of our competitors. Judge for yourself: For example, our masthead advert (as shown at the top of this page) at 100 x 50 pixels cost £80 per month. Our masthead adverts appear on every public page on the site. General page adverts (not including our Calais, Boulogne or Dieppe pages) cost our advertisers from £30 for 3 months. If you do not have your own web site, we can build and host a page for you. One page, incorporating up to 2 photos and 400 words and 1 year's hosting will cost £100 per page. Your advertisement on booze-cruise.net will then point to your page. We will also allow up to 12 minor changes to your page each year.
