Winton Forum

Advertisers

Five good reasons to advertise on this site.

  1. You get a full web page for your business. The standard format includes your logo, a picture of your shop/place of business, a short description of what you have to offer, address, phone number, email address, a map showing your location and link to your own web site. Apart from being regularly and automatically registered by search engines, your business is also linked to the main "Get it in Winton" page.
     
  2. For a tiny annual fee of £50, your page is a highly cost effective way of reaching local shoppers. It is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Compare it to any other form of advertising. The number of hits to the site is growing daily. We currently average more than 4000 visitors and around 119,000 hits per month. Some of these are returning visitors and the majority are from the Winton area. All have come to the site because they are interested in something that Winton has to offer.

    Explanation of the terms used in our web statistics:
    Unique Visitor: A unique visitor is one that has made at least 1 hit on 1 page of the web site during the current period shown by the report. If this visitor made several visits during this period, it is counted only once.
    Visits: Number of visits made by all visitors. Think "session" here, say a visitor looks at a page, and then requests three others without an hour between any of the requests, all of the "pages" are included in the visit, therefore you should expect multiple pages per visit and multiple visits per unique visitor.
    Pages: The number of "pages" logged.
    Hits: Any files requested from the server - includes pages, messages, pictures etc.

  3. The annual fee is small because we are not a profit-making enterprise.
     
  4. This site is set up to be regularly scanned by the major search engines. Small companies may find that their own sites are not found by Google, Yahoo etc. Having a link from a page at www.wintonforum.co.uk will increase hits.
     
  5. By spending a trivial amount a year you are not only increasing your own business potential at a minimal cost. You are supporting a unique regularly updated community website carrying information that has never been published before in this form. You are also demonstrating that you are playing an active part in the local community.
