The value of placing an ad on a website can be measured by the number of times the ad is displayed, which is a function of how much traffic the website gets. The traffic on Dunstable Commons has been growing steadily since the site was launched in February, 2006.
In addition to constantly providing new content, we actively drive traffic to the site with our email newsletter and subscription services. With nearly 500 people on our newsletter distribution list, we are reaching a significant percentage of the 1100 homes in Dunstable, and our newsletter statistics show that we far exceed other sites for the percentage of people reading the newsletter and following the links from the newsletter to the Dunstable Commons site.
What all of these statistics add up to is a reasonable level of assurance that ads on Dunstable Commons will be seen by people in the Dunstable community.
If you need help creating an ad image, we offer ad design services at reasonable rates. Your ad can be linked to your website or to your directory listing on DunstableBiz.com. That allows readers to click on your ad to get more information about your business. All your ad needs to do is to get their attention.
Ad Types
Dunstable Commons currently offers two ad placement types, which we refer to as "buttons" and "banners".
"Banner" ads are the wide (500x90 pixels) ads that display across the top of the content area. These ads are more prominent give you more screen area to display information.
 Button ad | "Button" ads are the square (120x120) pixel ads that are displayed in a group in the right sidebar of the site. |
If your want your ad to draw a little more attention, you can choose the "animated" ad option. In an animated ad image, all or part of the image changes periodically. Animated ads also allow you to deliver a little more information in a small space. Watch the image on the right for a few seconds to see what we mean. |  Animated button | |
