"In the 4 years (now 6 years) that TMS has advertised on StorageSearch.com, we've found it delivers high-quality leads without breaking our marketing budget."

editor's 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.

Classified advertising (or featured advertorial) can provide the most cost effective advertising in any media. Classified advertising on ACSL's portals typically delivers qualified leads at a cost which is typically 5x cheaper than keyword advertising on search-engines and 10x cheaper than banner advertising.

Our readers tend to have bigger budgets than those on other publications and are heavily weighted towards the enterprise and government markets. Many of our advertisers have successfully advertised products with selling prices in the range $10,000 to over $100,000.

Pageviews for this type of advertising are unlimited and are priced on an elapsed time basis, and not by pageviews. So your ad budget doesn't suddenly run out part way through your advertising period just because your subject becomes more popular, or just because our pageviews have doubled and readership has grown another 27% / year.

We can estimate the monthly or annual pageviews for most ads in advance and quote you a figure for minimum expected guaranteed pageviews based on our experience of running these web ads for over 10 years. We can take corrective action to ensure you exceed the agreed minimum. Corrective actions can increase your visibility by targeting more pages, or adding more featured products - or running your ad longer - depending what suits you best. But we never adjust your visibility downwards. So if you get 2 to 10 times what we predicted that's your gain and we're happy to be wrong.

No design costs! Minimal wasted time!

You don't incur any design costs. We design draft classified ads based on what we see on your website and inputs by email. You can correct or update text, images or links at any time by simply sending us an email - which can be as simple as "this product has been replaced / upgraded please substitute ad details from new model xxxx."

• lower cost per lead, than banner ads:- typically 10 times lower

• better reader hit rate than banner ads:- nearly every reader who is interested in your type of product will see something about your company. (With banner ads - the ratio of readers who see the ad in the target group is dependent on the amount of banners you have bought compared to the pageviews of the subject.)

• unlimited visibility:- unlike a banner ad where your visibility is precisely counted by the impressions you order, the classified ad provides unlimited visibility for the period of the ad

• better quality communication than a banner:- readers see much more information about your company / products than they can in a banner, and they trust the format. Information within the classified ads includes your company profile, company logo, product information...
  
  Readers can quickly evaluate if your product is of interest and link to your site or contact you from the ad (the classified ad is the web equivalent of the entries which we started running in the print editions of our directory in 1992 - and has been a proven concept for millions of readers who have used our web directories)

• less work for you:- if you've got a web site, we can typically extract the info we need to create your classified ad. If we need more we'lll ask you. You can change the text at any time by sending us an email. There's no set up charge for this service.

• flexible:- you can add additional products at any time via a simple email. You can also add banner ads to run in addition at any time

• guaranteed visibility:- we restrict the total number of classified advertisers, which means that as our readership grows you get increased visibility over time. That's in contrast to banner ads where, unless you manage it carefully, your banner is seen by a declining percentage of the readership over time as the readership grows.
