Keyword focused content on a well-optimized website attracts motivated traffic for your product or service, forever. Your ad dollars are working for you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Advertisers can and do spend much, much more on advertising that is a "one time" thing. A good informational content website is the most cost efficient method of advertising in existence. Many visitors to this site are primed to commit to buy at the moment that they type a query into a search engine box, and there are others who will bookmark a page on this site and come back to it when they have arrived at a decision. Most company website are well optimized for their name, but not for other keywords. In actuality, it is very difficult for a small website to be well optimized for keywords. Take a look at this example. Though there are several companies in the area that rent kayaks, Gulf Shores Travel Guide comes up at number one and two for a Google search query, above all of the company websites. We also send traffic to Beach'n'River through internal site navigation from several of our pages. For an example, check out this page and click on "rent a kayak." - While traffic peaks in the summer, people search the Web for information on the Alabama Gulf Coast year round and begin planning their vacations months in advance. For example, I'm writing this page in the dead of winter. Traffic for yesterday, on February 9, was 701.
- While this Google trend chart shows searches for the query "Gulf Shores," the stats for the queries "Orange Beach," "Fort Morgan," and "Perdido Key" chart close to the same as the "Gulf Shores" trend line. This is total Google queries for the keyword "Gulf Shores." (Wandering about those those upwards spikes in 2004 and 2005? - the hurricanes.)
 Those who advertise when others aren't are likely to pick up some business that they otherwise would not have. - Social Networking

ADVERTISING OPTIONSSite Sponsor
This option places your ad in the right column of every page on every page of Gulf Shores Travel Guide, including the home page. The ad will be a 180x180 pixel image like the one in the right column on this page. The image will be a clickable link that leads to a page on your website. You can also choose the option of having the link take you to a dedicated page of your own, at no extra charge, on this site. If you would like a larger ad for more impact, we also have 180x360 pixels (an example is on this page) and 180x540 pixels (an example is on this page). There are a limited number of site sponsorships available. Topic Sponsor
This option places your 180x180 pixel ad, with a clickable link, on every page on any one topic. Choose this option and you can target those who are most likely to be interested in your product. A dedicated page on our website also comes with this option. Dedicated Page
This option will give you your own page on Gulf Shores Travel Guide. Provide the content and we will optimize it for the search engines and give you a clickable link to your website at the bottom of the page. We will also link to your page from several other relevant pages. We want traffic to all of our pages and yours will get the same attention as any other page on this site. It will be well linked, well optimized, and promoted. Here is an example of what can be done with a dedicated page. Dustin's page for that search query currently shows up at number six on page one of Google Search Results for the query "Gulf Shores bowfishing." I also link it from my main fishing page, which gets huge traffic. When written as an "advertorial," a dedicated page is an extremely effective selling tool. For these pages, the "hard sell" doesn't work well. Keywords and site navigation drive traffic to these pages just as they do every other page on Gulf Shores Travel Guide. People find the page because they want what you offer. Gulf Shores Travel Guide reserves the right to refuse an dedicated page that doesn't fit the needs of our readers. Banner Ads
Banner ads are available in a variety of sizes. They can be placed on pages that are relevant to your product or service, subject to space availability. We offer discounts for multiple banner ads. You can find an example of a banner ad on this page. You can provide your ad if it is the correct size or can be re-sized to fit. If you don't have a suitable ad, that's not a problem. We can have one designed for you for a small set-up charge. If you would like to hear more about advertising on Gulf Shores Travel Guide, just fill out this form and I will get back to you.
