ADVERTISING A BUSINESS IN FRANCE
Why advertise with us?
(This page discusses direct advertising on this site. If you prefer to advertise here through the Google AdWords programme see HERE.)
For FREE advertising see the very bottom of this page.
France This Way has 7,000 - 10,000 page views each day. We are promoting the site heavily, and we are confident that we will continue to expand rapidly. We are currently on page 1 of Google for phrases like 'France travel' and 'visit France' as well as numerous others more specific to individual places, so we have a highly targeted audience.
We also rank highly for individual site sections related to property, renovation, cookery, and French language.
There are two main placements for ads:
- a 486*60 banner advert in the header (see example at top of this page)
- a 150*150 advert at the bottom of the menu (maximum two per page)
Adverts are shown as graphics which when clicked lead the visitor to your website.
The current default for each page is that a selection of ads are shown in rotation. When you pay for an advertising space your advert will be the only one shown
Advertising prices depend on the page where the ad is to appear. There are several classifications of page - 'normal', 'extra', 'premium', and 'super-premium'. Separate prices are also shown for the home page and the main car-hire page.
A list of the pages in the special categories is shown further down this page. Other pages may be considered to be 'normal'.
