Want a kick-ass advertising deal?

The value of money spent on advertising is a major factor in businesses today. As the new generation of car junkies are taking their throne in-front of the computer screen increasingly, the value of online advertising directed at auto enthusiasts gets better every single day.

Cedar Rapids Underground offers a unique and amazingly affordable advertising solution for ANY business in need! The type of business doesn't matter, if you've got $50 and a desire to advertise your business to auto enthusiasts, then don't waste your money anywhere else! If you're intrigued, then read on:

Cost:

$50 per YEAR is all it costs to advertise!

Benefits:

-Banner rotation on the footer of all CR:U pages. (CR:U Averages 1.6 MILLION page views per month. So essentially, you're paying for a share of almost 20 MILLION page views per year!)

-The ability to send one email out to ALL CR:U members advertising a special product or sale! (Your email will be seen by the ever-growing population of CR:U that currently stands at 1,040+)

-Unlimited "Sticky" topics in our most popular forum. (Limit of one sticky at a time. Excellent way of advertising a special price or sale)

-Your link displayed at the bottom of any administator-issued email sent out to members. (Any special e-mail note sent by the administrator will have your link displayed at the bottom. We average 5-10 of these per year)

-*Coming Soon* Your link displayed at the bottom of all "Topic Reply Notifications." (Hundreds and sometimes thousands of these emails are sent out everyday. These are the emails that most members get when a topic they have posted in has been replied to!)


What is the BEST part!?

The BEST part of this is that the price is $50 per year, but your value gets better everyday! This means that you originally pay your $50 for one year's worth of advertising, but we might have 800 more users and be averaging millions more hits per month in one year. Your value gets BETTER everyday due to the amazing growth of the website!

What if you have a lot of advertisers? Won't my banner get shown less?

Yes, but statistics have shown that users are more likely to pay attention to the banners on the page if they are rotated, thus keeping the image fresh with every reload of the page. So actually, you will benefit with every new advertiser gained. "Google Adsense" has appreciated millions of dollars in benefits due to this theory.

What are the requirements for this?

There are only a few requirements:

-You must have a website banner that is approximately the same size as the ones already displayed at the bottom of the page. We can resize it for you as needed, but it needs to be approximately the same size.

-You must own a real business that does real transactions. We will not advertise personal websites and/or other online forums. If you are interested in participating in a free link-sharing program with CR:U, please let us know.

-Stickys will be approved by the administrator before being added. The stickys need to be promoting REAL, sales generating events. We will not allow you to advertise events such as house parties, birthday parties, dinners, or any other type of event of that nature.

A Moderator and/or Administrator sent me this link in a private message. What does this mean?

Since CR:U has paying sponsors, we do not allow free advertising to take place on the site. This is disrespectful to our paying sponsors and endangers our advertising relationships. You may have been sent this link because within your signature, avatar, or a post, you have advertised something and a moderator or administrator has removed it.

If this is such a good way to advertise, why is it so cheap?

It is so cheap for many reasons! Any profitable business can afford $50 for advertising. Especially since the $50 also gets you an entire year's worth! However, for many small businesses, it is difficult to afford the $300+ that it would be fair to charge for this advertising opportunity. We like to give these businesses an opportunity to grow and expand with the help and guidance of CR:U, and trust us, your business will be bigger and more well-known if you choose to advertise with us.
