MOVING TO THE FRONT FROM DECEMBER 12: There is still at least one advertising spot available for every month in 2008, and both spots are still available for most months. In addition to ads for books and journals, I am also willing to take ads for conferences, events, on-line surveys, jobs, post-docs, and the like. Please contact me.
====================================================
So back in the summer, I inquired about advertising sponsorship for the blog; my thanks to those presses that got in touch. We did not, alas, arrive at an exclusive sponsorship agreement, so I am going to open up advertising space in one-month slots: book publishers, journals, or even authors that want to promote their work may purchase advertising space at the top left or top right of this blog; so, too, departments wanting to advertise job openings, or departments or organizations that want to advertise conferences and the like. Advertisers may buy either space, or both, in a given month, and they may also purchase multiple months in a row (with a 10% discount for purchases of three or more months). The fee structure will be as follows, reflecting differences in traffic at different times of year:
January, February, March, April: $500 per ad per month
May: $400 per ad per month
June, July, August: $300 per ad per month
September: $400 per ad per month
October, November: $500 per ad per month
December: $400 per ad per month
Just to reiterate: since ads will appear in both the top left and the top right columns, two different advertisers may secure space during any one of these time periods. We are able to run the first set of ads starting January 1.
Let me remind potential advertisers that this blog is far and away the most widely read blog by philosophers (faculty and students) in Cyberspace. For example, there were 184,311 page views this past September, rising to 214,635 pages views in October, and 250,056 last month. About 75% of the readership comes from the United States, about 7-8% from Canada, about 10% from the UK and Ireland, and the rest from a mix of Australasia, Continental Europe (esp. Germany and Scandinavia), East Asia (esp. Japan and Hong Kong), Turkey, Mexico, and Israel. (The percentage from Australasia goes up in the Northern Hemisphere summer, for obvious reasons.) Unlike many blogs, where the average length of a visit can be measured in a few seconds, the average length of a visit to this blog tends to be close to two minutes. You can see more details about readership by clicking on the site meter icon on the left, at the bottom of the list of links.
Please contact me with any questions or to secure advertising space.
