That's right, $600 gets you an ad spot for the rest of 2010. If you start in March that is less than $67/mo to be on one of the most influential design sites around.
Drawar opened its doors at the end of November 2009 and has been skyrocketing through the community with quality content that has been missing for so long. Drawar leaves the list posts to other sites and focuses on bringing thought-provoking articles to an intelligent audience that loves to have discussions.
Drawar just isn't a site with some articles. It's a community where users are able to join in on the discussions in the forums, browse the gallery, post links and write articles. Your product or service won't be hitting readers that come from Digg for two seconds only to leave, but influencers in the design community.
New design sites that have been open for 3 months are lucky to have broken 100,000 pageviews. Drawar has already surpassed 250,000 pageviews and over 100,000 visits. As the site continues to grow these numbers will only increase.
There is a good chance you are already advertising on a number of design blogs. There is also a good chance that you aren't the only ad on the site. You are probably sharing ad space with 4-10 other ads and many of them are your competitors. How does this help you out at all? Visitors to the site tune out the huge ad sections and focus on the content. On Drawar, your ad will be the only ad on the page. The only thing keeping users from ignoring your ad is how ugly you make it.
In most cases simply offering you ad space for the entire year would be enough, but not on Drawar. Each advertiser to the site will get their own page on Drawar that will include an interview with your company. Sometimes it just isn't enough for a reader to see an ad, sometimes they want to learn more about the company and what better way than an interview on Drawar?
Your company will also be featured in an article in some way during the year. I'm not saying the article will be about your company because this isn't the site to get sponsored posts. However, I will find a way to integrate your services or product into an article naturally.
You will also have an ad included in the Articles RSS feed. You can't beat that kind of exposure.
Now comes the part you will care about. Because I am confident in Drawar and what it will bring to advertisers and the design community this year I am putting a couple of guarantees behind this offer. If any of these guarantees don't occur I will refund your money and still keep your advertising on the site. I'm dead serious.
