To Advertise with us
One of the best ways to get your establishment, accommodation or attraction online is to advertise it on a web site. Did you know that when people are looking to visit an area for a holiday, short break or a day trip - the majority now search online and they look for web sites which contain a range of information about an area, which are easy to search, friendly to use and that rank highly on search engines.
If you have got this far, you will be aware that our web site fulfills these aims, so all we need now is you to join us and advertise on our site too.
We have several different options available - please browse below for more details. We believe in letting you choose the package that suits you best. Please contact us if you require any further details.

How do we know this site will work for you?
It is easy for us to say that this web site will work for you and that advertising with us is one of the best ways to promote your business in the New Forest. But when advertising budgets are tight and there are lots of New Forest Sites to choose from, why choose us:
- We do not contact advertisers to advertise on our web site. All our advertisers have come from word of mouth, recommendations from other businesses or from direct contact. In other words - all our advertisers have asked to join us - they found us just as you have!
- If advertisers have found us and want to join us, the great news is that the clients can find us too! If we are easy to find, then why would they want to look any further...
- We can get your advertisement online with a couple of weeks if all the paperwork is completed. We do not inspect, we don't even need to visit, yet we can come and take photos and help you sell your business if you would like us to.
- We are local. We are based in the New Forest - we know what is great about the New Forest, we know what local events are happening and we know why people should enjoy the area.
- Explore the New Forest is our business, we do not specialising in designing individual web sites (although we can), we do not have any business in competition to yours (attractions or accommodation establishment), but we do specialise in updating the site monthly, providing up to date events, seasonal photographs, fresh content and emailing newsletters to remind interested parties what a great place the New Forest is.

For your interest the "Unique visits"- indicates each new visitor looking at our web site. The often quoted huge number "Hits" are very misleading:- Each web page is made up of more than 1 file. Each file delivered by the server to make up the page that a surfer sees counts as a "Hit".
Bandwidth is the amount of data and usage our server has. The majority of our site it text and pictures which take up relatively little bandwidth compared to flash dynamic web sites, music files and video. Our site analysis this in Gigabytes, mainly sites just analyises megabytes(there are 1,024 megabytes to a GB).
Most personal or small business sites will not need more than 1GB of bandwidth per month (source http://www.findmyhosting.com/bandwidth.htm). Look up at our statistics and some months in peak season we are generating 27 times that... need we say more...
We are so delighted in our statistics we are even happy to publish them
We look forward to your call.
