Don't Pay More Money for Less Return
Advertising online has several key benefits over print advertisements. For starters, it's far less expensive. Running your advertisement in a local newspaper can cost in upwards of $500 per month, but because your ad is often mixed into pages of other advertisements and very few of those viewing it are in your target audience, you'll see a much lower percentage returned of your investment. It's true that a large number of people will see your advertisement, but very few of these are actually prospective customers.

Why California Wine Magazine
Between January and May, California Wine Magazine and Sierra Wines have seen monthly page views rise by 800 percent and monthly visitor counts rise by 750 percent. We advertise directly in both print and radio formats in Northern California, reaching an audience in excess of 750,000 people. Over two thirds of our visitors are from Northern California, meaning you're not wasting you advertising dollars on visitors whose location makes it physically impossible/unlikely for them to take advantage of your goods and services.

Advertise on Sierra Wines for an even more focused demographic. Sierra Wines is the most comprehensive Foothill wine directory on the internet, containing detailed information on over 150 wineries as well as a message board and an extensive glossary of wine terminology.

What You Get
You can choose between a standard ad and a banner ad. Standard ads are 120 pixels wide by 100 pixels high; banner ads are 690 pixels wide by 100 pixels high. Banners may be shared/split with other advertisers at your discretion. Ads may be placed one of three levels of pages:

Primary Level: These are the most accessed and viewed pages on the site. Ads on these pages will show up no less than every fourth page view. This level includes the Zin Avenger and winery search pages. Example: The Medals Database

Secondary: These pages are one click removed from primary pages, and receive the second most traffic. Ads on these pages will show up no less than every fourth page view. This level includes glossary search pages and individual county pages. Example: Amador County Page
