Promoting UK tourism industry businesses on the Internet - ads FAQs
Tourism advertising on the Internet is an effective and growing portal
helping to promote UK tourist businesses. Adverts are placed in an eye
catching ad box where they're potentially seen by website visitors already
looking for similar tourism possibilities - 'warm' prospects who've arrived
after doing an Internet search with related keywords. They read the
advert and can follow the website link. Bingo, another potential
customer!
Our FAQs below should help answer some queries, see also our main tourism
& travel advertising details page.
I don't see many adverts on your site
We only just started this portal in early 2008 and it'll take a while for
it to develop. Our site's been around for a while though. Of
course, being one of the first with an advert means less dilution!
Can I have more than one ad?
Yes of course, provided each ad's on a different page. You may wish
to word each advert differently to maximise impact. Each ad will be
costed individually.
Can I devise my own ad box style?
Sorry, it's not possible at this time to entertain an advertiser's own
advert style. However, we're open to suggestions and may introduce
bespoke facilities in the future!
Is the ad box style restricted by business type?
No, just choose whichever ad box you feel suits your tourism business
best. Any style can have your logo or image and web link within.
How do I place my logo or image on my ad?
Simply provide us with the URL (web address) where we can download it, or
e-mail it to us and we'll do the rest. We'll re-size it to a max 100
pixels width or 65 pixels height - similar to the images you see in our
sample ads. Note that any small text within a logo may not be readable,
although we do sharpen the image.
What if I need to change my ad's text later on?
We're happy to make occasional small changes (eg once or twice in any
paid for period) to your advert free of charge. We can also add a link
later on if you don't have a website at the time of advert booking.
How can I monitor click throughs from my ad's link?
Check your web server logs or website statistics for referrers from:
micbinks.co.uk At this low cost we don't undertake to provide
statistics.
Would the link to my site be 'search engine friendly'?
Absolutely! It will be a simple text link fully spiderable by the
Internet search engines. We would only block search engine access if it
became apparent your site is using underhand optimisation techniques.
Do you require a link back to your website?
It's not compulsory, but if you wish to link back from your site then
this could help bring us both more traffic!
I don't have a website to link to, but would like to provide further
details
We can provide you with a page on this site which will be linked to from
your ad. On that page you can provide your visitors with all the
details you wish, including your logo, a selection of images, map link,
e-mail link, contact details, etc.
I'd like to create a website for my tourism business, can you help?
Yes we can! Please see our web
development site. We have a number of years experience of designing
and promoting tourist related websites for our business clients!
Can you issue a receipt for my advert's cost?
A receipt will be issued electronically by e-mail on completion.
Do your ad rates include VAT?
We're not required to charge VAT as, thanks to our low ad rates, our
turnover's below the VAT threshold.
There's more details and an advert order form on our advertising
page.
