THEGEOZONE

Become a Sponsor of theGeoZone!


theGeoZone.com brings you a highly targeted and receptive audience for a broad range of consumer and outdoor products. Our readers include outdoor enthusiasts, prospectors, adventurers, and a wide range of individuals and businesses who buy and use recreational products of every description. For some insight into product categories our visitors purchase, please see our Supplier List.

Advertising opportunities in theGeoZone lie in an annual Sponsorship model, in which we recognize you on this website as a preferred Sponsor, provide links to your company and/or products, and display one or more ads that you supply according to our specifications. Ads are positioned in the leftmost column or below the text on each page of a Lost Treasure Tale you choose. Sponsorship includes:

  • Your full-color logo, link, and description (up to 120 words) on our Sponsors page
  • A text link from our Supplier List to your website
  • One ad to our specifications below on a Lost Treasure Tale page of your choosing
  • Significant discounts on additional ads

These are provided as basic features of Sponsorship; significant discounts are offered for second and subsequent ads from a single Sponsor. The ad(s) you choose may be used to provide branding value or information on a specific product. All ads are presently served by theGeoZone.com.

Our uncluttered page format (example here) strengthens the readability of your message, and you can choose the page(s) on which you want your ad to appear (or leave it to us to determine the best context). For example, the Prospecting section of a Lost Treasure Tale provides an ideal environment for advertising metal detectors, topographic maps, or handheld GPS units -- but the choices are limitless!

You also choose the size and positioning of your additional ads. Our page format enhances the visibility of your ad in the leftmost column, and you can choose 'first' (topmost) placement; 'left column', which is a subsequent position; or 'banner', located below the text on a given page. These options can be seen on this page.

We presently receive over 400,000 'hits' per month (August 2008).
