Advertising Overview
At The Loop, we’re approaching the concept of web advertising a bit differently from other websites. For starters, we firmly believe that ads perform at their best when the content of the website is at it’s best. After all, strong content brings in active and qualified readers like bees to honey, and those active and qualified readers are interested in YOUR products.
And the proof is in the pudding (or the honey as the case may be) … while the industry average click-through-rate (CTR) for banner ads is between 0.17% and 0.22%, our average CTR for all banner ads is an impressive 0.55%, more than double the industry average, with some of our advertisers enjoying CTRs between 1.00% and 3.00%. To cap it all off, advertising on The Loop costs a mere fraction of what our competitors charge.
And with The Loop, you’re not going to receive a bunch of calls from sales people trying to sell you ads. Rather, we’ve partnered with BuySellAds, a fantastic service where you buy your own ad space(s) on The Loop and run your ad for as long as you wish … or stop your ad whenever you wish … based on your schedule. That’s the huge benefit: YOU tailor your ad program to fit YOUR needs. Of course, if you’d like us to assist, we’re there to help every step of the way.
