Your web banner advertising buy will include:

• Visitors to SeattleWeekly.com

• Visitors from the Seattle DMA (Designated Market Area) to the Village Voice Media family of web sites.

Research has shown:
• The most effective promotion for a web site is to be visible where the target audience is located.
• A web site greeting its visitors based on their location or displaying relevant offers, depending on their location, is sure to generate more clicks and garner a higher conversion rate.

Benefits of Geo-Targeting:
• Online businesses can present targeted ad content to the user based on his/her physical location.
• Allows businesses to target relevant local consumers and realize maximum return on investment.
• Plays a vital role in creating a level playing field for both small and large businesses. Small businesses with a local flavor (and smaller budgets) can achieve greater results with geo-targeted ad buys.
• No additional charges to geo-target on our sites - our only goal is to maximize return for advertisers.
