13, 2006 - A Message from Brian First,
thanks for checking out the site. I appreciate it. You probably
came to this particular page to look for an advertising
opportunity. As you might have guessed, I get a ton of offers
for advertising on the site. Until today, I have rejected about 98% of
them. That is now going to change. This
site is a powerful one and I feel that it's time to harness its
energy. As such, I
have re-designed the advertising packages offered on this site.
As you decide which one you want, consider the following:
-
The
site began in 1997 and in 2000, this domain was purchased to
reflect its growing popularity (longevity factor helps a lot
when it comes to advertising)
-
The
website's traffic has been increasing steadily over the
years, with over 700,000 page views in May 2006. The
number of overall monthly readers and unique visitors continues
to increase daily. As the site grows, so does the reach of your
ad.
-
Most
of the traffic comes from search engines meaning it's target
market, legitimate traffic
-
99%
of pages on the entire website is a Google PageRank 3, 4, or
5 meaning that it's well spread out.
-
Over
the last few years, Alexa has consistently placed the site
in the top 60,000-90,000 sites (Alexa, for what it's worth,
is good for a general overview of traffic and website
rankings)
-
BrianX
Magazine is a powerhouse search engine website meaning that
Google and Yahoo rank its pages very high (typically in the top
5 or top 10). Additionally, any website that has a link from
BrianX.com is automatically increased in search engine rankings.
-
BrianX
Magazine appeals to both the male and female markets in the
18-45 year-old demographic. However, the majority of visitors
are men.
If you have any questions and/or
would like to advertise as soon as possible, please contact
us.

did.)
If you
received a spam email from test@brianx.com
or something similar over the past few days, please note that it
did not come from this website. It was a spammer who made it
look that way. You can read all about this spammer here
and here.
He is one of the world's most notorious spammers.

* We
reserve the right to discontinue any ad at any time if it does
not meet with our guidelines.
* Note
that we are not interested in "pay for performance"
type approaches. We are offering high power ads that supersede
those in many ways.
General
guidelines to unacceptable ads:
No affiliate links, no adult content, no advertising-only sites
(with no real content but full of banners).
Format
2: Advertorial
An advertorial is an
article that reviews or discusses a particular product, service,
or event, but is paid for as opposed to a regular article. Your
advertorial on this site will be very powerful because it will
be optimized for search engines. The article can contain a link to your website. The article
will be placed on the homepage and appear "normal."
These are outstanding promotional opportunities. Advertorials
frequently have a high position in search engines and as such,
generate niche market traffic. Moreover, the link to your site
is an added bonus.
The fee ranges from
about $350-500. Contact
us for details.
Format
3: Recommended Product Links
This is a merging of
format 1 and 2. It is essentially a description and link within
a target paragraph somewhere on the site. Think of it as an
endorsement within an article. Great for viral marketing and for
search
engine optimization.
The fee ranges from
about $95-250/month. Contact
us for details.
Format
4: Banner Ads
Banner ads
are accepted in different sizes and can be placed on specific
pages. Banner ads range in price based on the size and placement
throughout the site.
Please contact
us for site-wide possibilities.
