Promotion on Indies Unlimited
When it comes to promotion, we approach things a little differently than most sites.
- All vendors who want to advertise must go through a vetting process. Not all vendor adsare accepted.
- Our ads have permalinks. Most websites run a promotion for a short time, and then those links are gone.
- Each ad is broadcast in our weekly digest email to our subscribers, to our Facebook fans, on Tumblr, StumbleUpon, Google+, and to our Twitter followers. Our admins often also share posts, and our staff writers, if they see a book which interests them, will do the same on multiple platforms.
- We don’t track visitors, per se. What we do follow is our Alexa ranking, which is more valuable since they allow a comparison to other web sites, and tell us how long people stay, and how many articles they view on average while they’re here. If you’re not familiar with Alexa, this very short article explains it. Our current rankings are at http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/indiesunlimited.com
Some of the effectiveness of the ad also depends on the vendor. If the vendor is disinterested and unresponsive to comments (if there are any), then the ad will not pack the punch it could. We recommend an article called “Putting Your Indies Unlimited Features to Work for You” which we recommend everyone read.
If you are interested in purchasing an ad or pursuing any of our free features, please use the contact form on the advertising page. If your site is approved, we will send you the link to our PayPal page so you can make the purchase.
Once PayPal has notified us of your purchase, we will contact you using your PayPal e-mail address. If you use a different e-mail account or name than you used to make the query, we may ask for verification. If additional material is needed from you to prepare your promo, we will advise you of any remaining information we may need. Since promos comprise only a portion of overall site content, it may be a couple of weeks before your ad can be scheduled.
Thanks for supporting Indies Unlimited.
