How To Advertise On
South Africans in Austin

Our goal is to attract targeted traffic to this site. The best way to do that is to provide plenty of high quality information to our target audience.

Our target audience is firstly South Africans who live in the Austin area who are looking to connect with other South Africans in the area.

Secondly, our target audience includes South Africans who live in other parts of the U.S. or the world and are looking into moving to Austin.

Thirdly, our target audience includes anyone who is looking for information about the Austin area for the purpose of either vsiting Austin, or moving here.

While our main goal is to provide useful information to our audience, and not overload them with just any advertising, targeted advertising actually improves our audience's experience by offering products or services that may be as useful as the information itself. This way everybody wins!

Methods of Advertising

• Google Ads: The primary method of advertising here is by using Google Adwords.
  
  It makes great sense for you to be doing that because not only could your ads show up here if they are targeted for our content, but they will show up on other web sites that could also bring you lots more business.
  
  You can do "cost per click" advertising where you specify how much you're willing to pay for each click on your advertisement. The minimum is 1 penny.
  
  You could also do "site targeted cost-per-thousand impressions" advertising where you can specify the sites where your ads show up.
  
  We have set up "targetable ad locations" with Google that allow you to specify which ad location on our pages you want your ad to show up in. We are working on expanding the amount of available targetable ad locations.
• Market Place: The second method of advertising is on our Market Place page. Since part of our mission is specifically to help South Africans, at this time we are limiting advertising on this page to businesses owned by South Africans in the U.S. As a special bonus to South Africans, we are offering advertising on our Market Place page at $10 per month, or $100 per year if paid upfront. for more information if you are interested in advertising here.
• Links: Our Links page is for those who would like to exchange links with us or for links to websites that would be useful to South Africans or people living in the Austin area. If we put your link on our links page, we ask that you will reciprocate by adding our link to your web site in a way that is visible to search engines. This arrangement helps us and our link partners with greater visibility in search engines, and ultimately more traffic. if you have a link that you think would be useful.

Acceptance of Advertisements or Links

We will look at all requests to place advertising on our Market Place page or add links to our Links page. However, we do reserve the right to refuse any advertisement or link that we think is inappropriate.
