We are (arguably) the most visited homeschool site on the web for used and new curriculum, groups, and activities -- with monthly averages of 800,000 pageviews, 80,000 visits, 30,000 unique visitors, 4000 group/activity listings, and 24,000 "For sale" and "Wanted" listings. Our site traffic does fluctuate substantially, with curriculum-related usage highest before the start of the school year and activity-related usage highest during the year.
We post a limited number of paid text and banner listings for products and services that are useful to our audience.
We are quite selective in accepting listings. Please see our conditions of use.
Current business listings are shown here.
Our rates are deliberately kept low, in order to develop long-term relationships with our advertisers --
providing a service that works effectively, with a minimum of effort, for both of us.
We currently offer the following business listing formats:
These business listings are placed on many, but not all, pages (we don't think they are particularly effective
while the user is filling out a form, for example).
In the past, like many other sites, we rotated banner listings randomly. We have become convinced, however, that a listing is more effective if it is constantly reinforced in a known (and topically appropriate) location, so that even if the
viewer doesn't need an item or service now, when they do, they'll remember where to find it. Remember the furniture store listing at the bottom of the newspaper that you ignored for all those years until you needed a sofa?
For this reason, we try to place listings on topically-related pages, without rotation.
