dive site directory Banner Advertising, Advertorials & Business Listings

Since the launch of Dive Site Directory its popularity, as well as its content, has grown steadily and we now consistently receive over 30,000 unique visitors per month, viewing 215,000 pages of the directory between them (statistics gathered from Google Analytics). We are very happy with these figures, especially when you compare them with to BSAC's DIVE Magazine, which according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, is the UK's best selling print magazine, with an average monthly readership of 40,000.

The very nature of the directory is perfect for advertisers as we can deliver highly targeted, broad reaching campaigns which are great value, especially when compared to the costs of advertising in print media.

Banner Ad Pricing

For those that would like to advertise but are not confident in their ability to create the banner itself we also offer the option to design and produce the banner for you. Charges for this creative design are £15 but will be waived for those signing up for an annual run.

We sincerely hope that you'll see the valuable opportunity that this presents and get in touch as the income will help us to grow the directory and provide you with even more potential customers.

Advertorials

As well as serving as an index and jumping off point for the rest of the directory our home page is also the perfect place to feature advertorial and promotional content. We have a ‘Diving News’ section in which previous advertisers have promoted books and diving guides, competitions and contests.

For a flat rate of £250 per month you have the option of placing a 180x150px rectangle ad and up to 400 words of copy (including any HTML links you choose).

Business Listings

As the directory is something of a diver’s guide, it seemed natural for us to include links to hotels, dive charters, tour operators and travel agents offering services in the related regions. Our visitors would then be able to read reviews on the dive sites and also locate businesses in the area open to dive travelers.

To this end we have a ‘Resources & Links’ section on the left side of every page with sub headings for ‘Dive Centers’, ‘Apartments & Villas’ etc. If a subheading for your business does not seem to exist we can create it for you!

The links are shown in such a way as to be a natural progression from browsing the dive site pages for a location down into visiting the web sites of businesses listed in that location.

An annual fee of £48 (just £4 a month) will secure you a text link with your business name to a specified page on your website. The link will be placed on all of the directory pages in the country / region that is relevant to your business.

Examples of banner ad campaigns, placement, advertorials and business listing placement can be found in our media pack.
