Advertising on swansea.ca web site
(Must Read This Page) Due to the overwhelming response from the media and many requests from local businesses Swansea.ca started to offer ads on this web site. That was not the intention at the beginning but ads are part of most web sites today and it should bring some funding for further improvement of this website.
Based on the fact that visitors to the Swansea web site are 90% from Swansea and immediate neighbourhood - this has a unique value for advertisers who provide services and products within this area. For instance: advertising a flower shop or mortgage broker on a global scale does not make sense because most of the viewers are from outside of local area. Yes, they are from Toronto however in Scarborough you can also find hundreds of other mortgage brokers too. Therefore, this niche web site is a perfect resource for most local businesses.
Types of Ads: Graphic & Textual
We do offer three types of ads. Graphic ads without the link to a web site.
Graphic ads with the link to the web site. Textual ads with the link to the web site. All types of ads are offered at the same price.
Types of Links: Standard and Redirect Linking
First type of the link is standard (regular) hypertext link as many web site owners prefer standard links for improving their PageRank by search engines.
However, when regular links are used we can not track impressions and clicks
(visits) and therefore web site owners should do that by themselves. Another type of link is called a forwarded link and by clicking on the ad users will be forwarded to the ads web site. We use proper 301 redirect such that the incoming link credit is still given by search engines. If this is too technical simply choose a forwarded link for your ad for your web site.
