Online Advertising At VeganCoach.com

VeganCoach.com is growing bigger (and better!) each and every month. And as time passes, online advertising opportunities present themselves more and more.

Of course, the number one goal here at VeganCoach.com is to provide our site visitors with free and valuable information. The happiness of our site visitors is our number one priority.

So this page will help to explain some very important information that you might like to know, whether you are one of our beloved site visitors, or a business/organization with a service or product you would like to share with our community.

Thank you so much for visiting.

Dear Darling Site Visitor,

First and foremost, thank you for visiting. Your presence rocks our world here at VeganCoach.com. If you're interested in how we work the advertising aspect of things behind the scenes, then this page will interest you.

You have our word that we will never recommend a product or service that we do not sincerely believe will be helpful to you in some way. If we like a product, business, or service, it is something that will naturally be shared with you in the normal course of writing about how to be a healthy and well-balanced vegan.

So you can be good and comfy if a product, business, or service is mentioned, we feel it is amazing and we want to show our support. And occasionally (although certainly not always), we may receive compensation for our efforts.

Again, thanks for visiting, and for your continued support of VeganCoach.com.

XO! :)

Dear Advertisers,

We work very hard here at Vegancoach.com to earn the trust of our beloved website visitors. And we will never do anything to lose the trust they have put into our hands. We cherish it.

You may notice there are very few ads that appear on our website. Since the very first days (February 2007), we have elected to work with only a handful of online advertisers.

Why have we turned so many advertisers away? Because they were promoting something that was NOT vegan. Clearly, this is a vegan website, with many of our customers embracing the vegan philosophy, or finding their way to "vegan". Offering ads for non-vegan products is confusing to our website visitors, especially those who are new to this way of eating/living/being and look to us for help and guidance. [Sassy sez: On a personal level, there is nothing that bugs me more than visiting a vegan website and seeing ads for non-vegan stuff!]

In other words, your product or service must be vegan. Period. Exclamation point!

Now, as others have done, you might jump to conclusions that YOUR business, product, or offering is the one that will win us over if you throw enough money at us. We once turned down an offer of $25,000 for a weight loss program because it included the addition of eggs and chicken (clearly NOT vegan!).

If your product, business, or service is 100% vegan and it is something we deem would be appropriate for our website audience, then we can talk. :)

In that case, this page will explain who our visitors are and what they expect, who we are, and additional information about advertising on this site so you can make an informed decision.

Types of Online Advertising

In order to make your online advertising experience with VeganCoach.com optimal, the following formats are available, in no particular order:

1. In-Content Text Links;
2. Banners and Buttons:
3. Full Banner 468x60
4. Skyscraper Banner 120x600 or 160x600
5. Button 120x120
6. Image and Text Link With Write-up

You may choose from one of these options, or we can put together a package containing some combination of the above that suits your advertising budget and needs.

Examples:

In-Content Text Links

Choose 3 words throughout the site that appear within the content, and we'll directly link your website to these words.

In-content text links are extremely valuable and effective. Here is an example of an in-content text link. (This example will open in a new window so you can come back to this page. Your in-content text link will go directly to your page and no longer be attached to VeganCoach.com.)

Banners and Buttons

All Banners and Buttons are usually provided by the advertiser. We are happy to create yours for an additional charge.

A Full Banner (below) measures 468x60px. This horizontal banner can be placed at the bottom of a page making it the last thing the page visitor will see before clicking off the page. Full Banners are usually provided by the advertiser. We are happy to create yours for an additional charge.

468x60 Full Banners are available on individual pages or across categories.

A Skyscraper Banner (right) measures 120x600px or 160x600px. These vertical banners are placed along the right-hand side of a page (in the orange side stripe --->). Skyscraper Banners are usually provided by the advertiser. We are happy to create yours for an additional charge.

A Button (left) measures 120x120px and is placed below the navigation bar on the page(s) you like, depending on your advertising budget and needs. Buttons are usually provided by the advertiser. We are happy to create yours for an additional charge.

Image and Text Link With Write-Up

An interesting way to grab the attention of our site visitors. You provide a small graphic of your logo, product or other appropriate photo, a 40-word (approximately) description of your business, product, or service, and the URL to your website, and we'll build the ad for you. There is no additional charge for the creation of this ad (as there are with the Buttons and Banners as mentioned above).
