| Why should
YOU advertise on storagesearch.com? |
Many of our
advertisers say:- storagesearch.com delivers higher quality readers, more
RFQs and lower cost of leads than any other web advertising they have
tried (including Google).
Part of the reason is that over 1.3
million unique readers / year use STORAGEsearch.com to find products ranging
from SAS storage to
million dollar solid state disk
accelerators.
Another reason is our readers love our site - and from
company founders to professional buyers in government they trust our content -
use it to make important strategic decisions and recommend it to their partners
and customers.
We're good at ads. We've been selling web ads
for over 12 years. They work. That's because we respect our
readers - and reject ads which are likely to annoy our readers, or waste their
time.
We were the first enterprise storage site online, and we are
still the #1 online storage site for most of the important subjects in this
market. And despite the hundreds of me-too storage publications that have come
into this market - we've continued growing pageviews, readers and market share.
STORAGEsearch
offers attractive ad packages for companies spending from around $1,300 a
year to $20,000 a year.
Our advertising packages suit busy sales
and marketing professionals in companies ranging from VARs to multibillion
dollar storage oems. Our "hands-free"
classified ads
mean you don't even need to design your ad. We do it for you - at no extra
charge.
Unless you're scared of mice - or don't believe that
the web can generate significant business for your company - then you should
contact us to ask for an advertising proposal straight away. |
"In
the (many) years that TMS has advertised on StorageSearch.com, we've found it
delivers high-quality leads without breaking our marketing budget."

note:- TMS sells the world's fastest storage which connects via
SAN or
Infiniband. Typical
advertised systems cost in the range from $30K to $1.million.
They have advertising here continuously since 2001 - and have recently
renewed their ad packages for 2009. | | |

Recession... what recession?................................................... |
There was no recession
for us or our advertisers in 2009.
(Although I admit I was a little
bit nervous at the peak of the Credit Crunch in the 4th quarter of 2008. But I
needn't have worried.)
What's the secret?
Advertise
wisely in fast growing customer segments!
2009 was our best year for web advertising revenue in the
past 7 years.
There's no mystery about this.
Web
advertising is a scientific process which involves trial and error.
As
a result of sustained ad programs which work - and as a result of over 78%
increase in top SSD article pageviews - a lot of advertisers have been
asking how they can do more with us.
Our overall site readership has
increased by significant double digits this year too - despite a decline in some
traditional storage markets.
That's why I can spend more time working
on unique content, and zero time cold calling ad sales.
I'm very
lucky. We've got fantastically successful advertisers and fantastically high
reader quality too. How can you not have a good business with that winning
combination?
2010 looks like it will be a very good year for
StorageSearch.com too.
6 good reasons to advertise on
STORAGEsearch.com
- it works! - Even in a recession. It worked in the IT recession
which followed the dotcom bubble, Enron and 9/11 - and is working now too.
That's because increasing your incremental communications to thoughtful readers
(otherwise known as advertising) - in the right context - affects what they
know, what they think and what they buy.
- if you like our content - and you want to see it continue - that's
a good enough reason to support the site with an entry level ad in the region of
$1,300 to $2,000.
- unmatched reader quality! - Our readers include the biggest and
most important buyers in the storage market. They come here because it's the
best resource on the web.
- low cost! - Typically a year's permanent visibility costs about the
same as distributing a couple of press releases.
- improve your image! - Become associated with the highest quality
web site on the web covering strategic storage market issues.
- fill black holes in your Google ads! - We don't run Google ads*. So
none of your generic web ads reach our readers while they view our content.
* - exception is in a small number of low volume page used
to test how they compare
with banner ads.
- defensive! - advertising blocks competitive ads out from your
company profile. If your editorial strategy creates high interest and you're
not an advertiser - you're simply providing fertile ground for competitors.

STORAGEsearch.com's
Publisher Turns 16
Editor:- October 2, 2007
- this month is the 16th anniversary of founding ACSL - publisher of
STORAGEsearch.com
The storage market, which will generate over
$200 billion revenue in 2007, is the most important segment in the computer
industry and this is an exciting time to be covering storage as fundamental
changes are taking place in the way that enterprises architect their IT
infrastructure.
Gone are the days when the processor or the operating
system were the primary factors which dictated how everything fitted together.
In the future - the levers and gateposts which enable or inhibit fast
corporate change will be dictated by how well the storage systems support the
data needs of the enterprise.
Just as the internet gave rise to new
types of companies which didn't exist before, the new age of content will
generate huge markets where the success or failure of the enterprise will be
determined by the strength or weakness of its underlying storage systems.
Looking
back at the start of my publishing career:- one of the frustrations of
publishing a computer market directory in the early 1990s was the fact that new
editions were obsolete on the day they were printed. My data collection
methodology was to research and update data every day. Soon after it became
acceptable to make money on the web - we made plans to switch to a web format -
which we did in 1996. Although much has changed on the web in the past decade -
one factor has remained unchanged:- people migrate quickly to the sources which
give them the best information. Content providers (like us) and content finders
(like Google) need each
other (even though we compete in the same advertising market) and although
search algorithms have improved, I think human editors can still do a better
job of collecting together lists of all the important companies in a vertical
market.
STORAGEsearch.com
has been leading the way to the new storage frontier for 9 years, and before
that our
SPARC Product Directory
helped to shape and inform the needs of the people building the dotcom market.
It's been great fun working on these in the past 16 years - and I look forward
to reporting on the exciting developments still to come. ...ACSL profile |

STORAGEsearch.com - has been
leading the way to the new storage frontier since 1998. (And before that, in
our earlier Sun SPARC
publications we published a
SCSI directory since
1992, and a Fibre-channel HBA
directory since 1994.)
STORAGEsearch.com was the first enterprise
storage portal on the web, the first to cover emerging subjects like
iSCSI,
SATA and
SAS, and the first
market authority to recognise and report the disruptive effects of
solid state disks on the
server market. We have a bigger readership than any other publication in many
important storage subjects and are the #1 or #2 storage portal for
Solid State Disks,
storage manufacturers,
storage news,
RAID systems,
disk to disk backup,
storage events and
dozens of other storage industry topics.
Our advertisers have
included many of the world's
fastest growing storage
companies.
The storage market is on an upward wave and our
readers - who include the world's top spending storage buyers - can help you
get there faster.
STORAGEsearch offers attractive ad packages for
companies spending from around $1,300 a year to $20,000 a year. Advertising on
our site is proven to work. As a
publisher we have
a 13 year track record as a directory publisher in the high value enterprise
storage market, and over 10 years experience selling web advertising.
We're
easy to do business with. You don't even need to design an ad to run our
classified ads. We do it for you. You can pay by credit card, wire transfer or
check - whichever is most convenient for your company.
Contact me by
email, and tell me what products you want to promote and how much you want to
spend.
You can pay by credit card , check or wire transfer.
Satisfaction is guaranteed. If we don't think we can make a serious improvement
to your company's fortunes by advertising on our site we'll tell you and we
won't accept your order. If we do accept your order and you aren't delighted
with the results - tell us why and we'll work with you to understand what's not
working, increase your visibility and fix the problem.
Nobody else you
talk to in another storage publication or ad agency has as much experience
helping US based enterprise IT companies grow their business on the web. When
you become our customer you join a winning team team that helps the world's
fastest growing storage companies.
Sincerely
Zsolt Kerekes -

PS - You can always ask me for an idea of historic stats related to
the exact type of product or service you want to promote including your
own company profile or articles by you or competitors. That's much more useful
to help estimate the best size of your ad budget than just asking for general
info about the hundreds of thousands of storage readers who are searching for
other types of storage product which are unrelated to yours. We have very
precise granularity based on content which tells you the exact readership
available for targeting for example on
RAID controllers or
RAID systems or
chips, and discriminating
between readers interested in
iSCSI versus
Fibre Channel SAN, or
virtual tape backup versus
traditional tape backup or
backup software -
instead of lumping everything together. | |
