Pike County Times.com



Welcome to the Advertising with the Pike County Times.com Page.

The Pike County Times.com has been a source of public information for Pike County residents since November 13th, 2006. Local events are posted free of charge and citizens are excited to have a website where county and city government information can be easily accessed.

The web counter at the bottom of the page tells how many times the website has been accessed by an individual computer during a 24 hour period. The statistics below are much higher because my website server counts every visitor to the website even if someone visits two or three times during the day looking for news.

I have added a monthly hit counter to the bottom of the home page. It will count every time the front page is accessed.

June 2008 Statistics
  Average Max
Hits per Hour 343 1722
Hits per Day 8236 12071
Pages per Day 964 1569
Visits per Day 229 295


Total Hits 247,081
Total Pages 28,920
Total Visits 6,872


July 2008 Statistics
  Average Max
Hits per Hour 488 3,238
Hits per Day 9,101 23,140

This website is a good way to reach customers who do not get their news through conventional means. We can work together to promote our businesses. Let Pike County Times advertise your give-a-ways, Open House events, and more!

Customers often choose their products or choice of business purchases based on name recognition. Name recognition of your business is achieved through your advertisement on The Pike County Times.com. Even a business without a webpage can have their information pulled up through a search on the world wide web.

Flash graphics are available. Look at the Crumb Crazy advertisement for an example. Call or email for pricing information. Danny Shumate from CGA Comp does my flash.

The rolling scroll bar for advertising has been running since February of 2008. It makes sure that everyone's ad will be viewed beside the latest stories. Movie trivia is also on the ad bar to encourage readers to view the advertisements. Ads are stationary on the Calendar of Events page.

Customers have the choice of being above or below the purple weather bar on the front page. The weather bar gets more hits than anything else on my website! The placement from the top of the page and directly under the weather bar is determined on first-come, first-serve basis.

Please note: Advertising on the side bar is Buy One Get One Free for new customers. Another thing to note is that I am working to revamp my advertising on the website to include standard sizes. My current advertisers will be grandfathered in with their current ad rates as long as they have no breaks in their advertising with me.

New rates will go online shortly. Update 7.7.08: Pike County Times.com now accepts payments by Mastercard, Visa, and Discover.

Please email me with any questions that you have about this. Feel free to drop me a line at editor@pikecountytimes.com if you have any questions or call 770-468-7583. Thanks for supporting The Pike County Times.com!

Word Only Ad

Word only ads with a background color are $10.00 per month for 10 words or less.

Anything over that 10th word is an additional $.25 per word.

Think of having your classified ad on that front page rather than having people go to a certain page of the newspaper. It's certainly a new option that is open for you!

$15.00 per month as long as the ad is 15 words or less.

Anything over that 15th word is an additional $.25 per word.

You can make a classified ad for your business and put a link under your ad with this option. Technology is making it easier for people to find your business through the web!



Advertising on the Side Bar

1, 3 and 6 month invoices are available. Providing the best service possible to my readers and advertisers is my goal. Please note that an ad running for 3 weeks instead of a month still takes the same amount of time to program as an ad that runs for one month so there will be no reduction from these already rock bottom prices.

I can send a pdf invoice by email or a paper invoice by mail or hand-delivery. Pike County Times.com will soon be able to accept payment from Visa and Mastercard for customer convenience.

Flash advertising is available. If you see something that you like, email a link to me so I can send it to my webmaster. He will give me a price and amount of time that it will take to put your advertisement together and we'll get your advertising online ASAP!

Please note that advertising on the side bar is Buy two months, Get one month FREE for new customers.

Feel free to drop me a line at editor@pikecountytimes.com if you are interested in advertising in the greater Pike County area or have any further questions.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND!

8.8.07


Happy Birthday, Anniversary, and Other Special Occasions

Your special occasion message can be seen by Pike County on the home page with the main stories for the day in a stationary advertisement. Political advertisements can go here with a link to your website if needed. Advertisements for businesses can go here as well.

This stationary advertisement will be directly below the purple CGA Comp advertisement that is always directly above the leading story. More than one advertisement in this position will cause the first advertisement to be directly above the leading story at all times and all future advertisers to be placed between the CGA Comp advertisement and the first advertiser.

Prices are as follows: $10 for one day. $15.00 per week or $60 per month for an ad similar to that of CGA Comp. Please note that the "Buy two months Get one free" deal for new advertisers does not apply to stationary advertisements.

Prices are being revamped according to the number of pixels in the advertisement. Feel free to drop me a line at editor@pikecountytimes.com if you have any questions.



Campaign Advertising

I will print one submitted article advising the public of a candidacy for office. This is limited to 250 words. All other public announcements will need to be on the Side Bar with the regular advertisements or placed in with the top stories like the happy birthday message above.

Please note that the "Buy two months Get one free" deal for new advertisers does not apply to political advertisements.

Political ads can be stationary on the home page directly beneath the purple CGA Comp advertisement for the ad rates listed in the Happy Birthday, Anniversary, and Other Special Occasions stationary advertising above. This can include a link to your website.

If you would like to discuss a banner advertisement in another area of the website, please call me or send an email.

5.5.08: For those who do not have websites and would like to have an ad on the ad bar with a bump to a simple web page for your campaign, Pike County Times.com can put together a page for your campaign. Drop me an email if you are interested in this and I'll give you the rates.

Danny Shumate from CGA Comp will put together the ad design for the webpage according to your specifications. A couple of pictures with a biographical sketch of your campaign including your local affiliations and qualifications for office could go on a page like this. Your advertisement on the home page ad bar and calendar of events page will click over to this page so voters can find out about your qualifications for office.

Feel free to drop me a line at editor@pikecountytimes.com or call me at 770-468-7583 if you have any questions.
