(You may send us a different text for each advertisement in any case)1.2- BANNER ADVERTISEMENT
-A graphic banner (468 x 60 pixels) that does not occupy more than 30 Kbytes in a GIF (whether animated or not so) or JPEG format. The Graphic will be supplied by you. In the case that you own your own web in internet, you may request a link from the banner to your URL (without additional charges, of course). The banner will be placed in the pages of the Amazing Sounds web until it reaches the number of hits (impressions) you want (an impression is when someone views your banner). If you prefer your banner to appear only in a few pages, you may choose one, two, three, four, five or six pages; the banner will be displayed only in this/these page(s) selected by you. Keep in mind that the top pages have more visitors than the page of a review or a musician bio-discography, so if you choose one of these minor pages, it may take some time until your banner may reach the requested number of hits. We send you the logs and other data generated by the statistics programs, so you may see how your banner has reached that number of hits.
30,000 hits: $38.00 or 30.00 euros
75,000 hits: $63.30 or 50.00 euros
200,000 hits: $126.60 or 100.00 euros
1.3- LINK TO COMMERCIAL WEBS IN OUR LINKS PAGES
The insert of a link to a commercial web in our pages of links is free if the client also inserts a link from this commercial web to Amazing Sounds as well. Otherwise, the cost is $5.19 or 4.38 euros a year.
1.4- GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR SERVICE
Keep in mind that the language of the readers who visit the Spanish Half of the web or are subscribed to the Spanish version of the email newsletter, is Spanish, and that not all of them know the English language. You may send us two versions (English and Spanish) of the text advertisement and the banner if you think that it is important for your marketing purposes. It has not additional charges.
If you want us to translate your text from English into Spanish, the rate is 4 cents (or 0.03 euros) for each word.
The translations have not any discount, sorry.
For longer or more elaborated advertisements, ask for an estimate.
There is the information about payment.
2- WHICH IS THE CIRCULATION OF AMAZING SOUNDS?
Amazing Sounds is free for the reader and is written both in English and in Spanish.
(It is possible that in the future a German version may be available as well.)
Amazing Sounds is also available in text format with e-mail distribution, in English and in Spanish. Twice a month, we compile all our new articles, interviews, reviews and news, and email it into a text message to our subscribers. Text and links are included, no pics.
All issues of Amazing Sounds text-email version (English and Spanish) are stored as ASCII files in ZIP format in a web linked to the Amazing Sounds main site. All those ZIPs will stay available on the web for an unlimited time also.
Several articles, interviews, reviews and news are reissued in other zines & media. For example, in two CD-ROMs produced by multimedia companies, three Spanish printed magazines (one of these is featuring Amazing Sounds material in every issue), and several webs. Some projects are being negotiated: The distribution of all new material on teletext format in some digital and cable TV channels, the monthly publication of all new material into a CD-ROM enclosed in a printed magazine, and the creation of some web mirrors.
Currently, Amazing Sounds has about 100,000 visits (pageviews) in its pages per month in the web (about 300,000 hits / month including banners and other images), and more than 15,000 different monthly readers. Quite a lot of our readers come from search engines such as Yahoo, Altavista, etc.
The email-text version has more than 2600 subscribers for the English and Spanish versions. A 40 % of Spanish version readers are from Spain. The remaining 60 % are from countries of South-America. The 50 % of the English version readers are from the U.S.A. The other 50 % are from the rest of the world.
Because the email-text-version issues are stored in ZIP format for an unlimited time in our web, all published writings, including the text advertisements, will reach more readers besides our email-text subscribers and our online version visitors.
About demographics, hits and circulation, they can be seen in our statistics file (if you are interested in it, we may send you it by email)
