I don't
want to bore you with a long winded speech about why your should advertise
here. You can decide that for your self by looking at the content, reading
posts in the forums, and taking a look at site statistics. This site
has experienced phenomenal growth since launch about two years ago,
partially due to the growth of the Tablet PC market since it's launch
on November 7th of 2002. The growth is also due to the quality of the
Tablet PC users in the forum area who are constantly discussing likes
and dislikes, problems and great features of the Tablet PC platform.
We
now have over 8,500 members, and serve over 780,000 pages a month. Of
those we have nearly 200,000 unique visits, and well over 5 million
hits on the server. Our users widely vary in computer and Tablet PC
experience, some are just beginners, while others have been in the computer
industry for over 20 years. A recent poll of our visitors showed a fairly
even split between those who own Tablet PCs and those who don't. This
provides good advertising oppurtunity for not only software companies,
but also hardware manufactuers and Tablet PC retailers.
Now
enough talk about that... Here are the levels of sponsorship (advertising),
that I have made available. I think these numbers are reasonable, but
if for some reason you think they are not, please feel free to contact
me and hopefully we can negotiate something that will work for you.
Now it does take money to run this site, that is why I have advertising
available, so please consider these prices below carefully before thinking
about negotiating.
All
levels of sponsorship get a username to login to the ad system. This
allows you to check impressions, clicks, etc. Other things that the
levels come with are listed below.

Our advertisers
are usually very pleased with the results they get from advertising
on the site. Here are a few quotes from some of our past and current
advertisers -
"I can
say without a doubt that at least 75% of my Tablet PC software sales
were a direct result of exposure through advertisements, articles,
or forum participation on your site. [TabletPCBuzz]" -
