Advertising on

In 2010 Ruislip Online change the package of adverts being offered.

Also, rather confusingly there are now two "Ruislip Online" web sites, were this was done primarily for the benefit of those placing adverts!!

The two domains are www.ruislip.co.uk and www.ruisliponline.co.uk.

This does make this page rather heavy reading - but stick with it!!!

The former, ruislip.co.uk remains largely unchanged and is still a massive web site covering all things to do with Ruislip. The second, ruisliponline.co.uk carries some information about the area but is mainly aimed at advertising - a sort of "Yellow Pages" for Ruislip.

However, BOTH have excellent ratings on Google, ruislip.co.uk is number one and has been for over 15 years, but a recent search for "Ruislip + double glazing" put ruislip.co.uk in at number five and the new site, ruisliponline.co.uk in at 13.

You, as an advertiser, have the choice now of trying to appeal to the Internet and Google as a whole by going on ruisliponline.co.uk or trying to appeal to the visitors to the main site by going on ruislip.co.uk. The choice is yours! Of course you could go on both! It is only £60 for a year ON BOTH!!

The main site, ruislip.co.uk, gets around 1,500 visits per day, or just over half a million hits a year.

Please note advertising starts from just £20 per year!!!!!

I have a small business and do not have a web site.

I have a small business and have a web site.

If you are reading this it is assumed that you have either your own web site or are going to take a small page on ruislip.co.uk.

There are various options, and various prices!!

In the table below, for simplicity, the main Ruislip web site is called Ruislip, and the newer, adverts only site, is called Online.

Below is a copy of the header that shows the tabs on most pages and sponsor etc.

The answers to some possible questions are shown below.

How many people will see my advert?

At the last count the page viewing per day were running at around 1,200 per day (correct as at 4/2/2010) - the counter was removed as the number was so high it became meaningless!.

Why are some TABS different to others?

In order to keep things "fresh" sometimes things get moved about. The persons on the lower TABS have just been on the site for longer (correct as at 3/2008)

Can I word my tab how I want to

For discussion. If you are an estate agent doing, for example ONLY lettings then "lettings" could run along side "estate agents" on different tabs......It also has to fit in the tab!!!

I need a free web site - is it really free - there must be a catch!!!???

Well sort of, yes it is free but I am not about to write a full all singing all dancing web site for nothing! So I will write something fairly simple, with contact details, address and a "this is what we do" look about it - rather like, say, an advert in the paper you might place.

I have is guesthouse in Penrith (etc.), can I advertise it on your site? Is there anything you will not advertise?

A guesthouse in Penrith is fine. The only kind of advertising we will not accept is that of a product that visitors might find offensive, such as adult web sites.

What happens after my advert expires?

We write to you and invite you to renew it, almost certainly on the same terms.

Will somebody come and see me?/I should like somebody to call and see me to discuss this advert.

I think one has to look at this from a practical point of view. If I need to collect information from you and you are in Ruislip and the information cannot be posted or e-mailed easily then I will call. But at £45 for a year it is obvious that if I had to spend ages discussing requirements with people any "profit" would soon have gone! Each request is treated on its merits, but mail/e-mail is by far the best way for me. If you want to speak to me go to the general enquiry form and provide me with a telephone number.

Can I have a tab and other page specific sponsorship?

You can if space is available.

What if something changes in the meantime, such as my phone number, or address.

No problem, if something changes just let us know and we will update your banner or web page. As long as the number of changes does not become onerous then this would be free. By example suppose you are a car dealer with a small web site on Ruislip Online and your phone number changes, no problem, or you decided to add Lada cars to the list of brands you now sell, again no problem (well apart from the obvious one with your brain!). What will not be free would be if we we asked to display a list of cars presently on offer and kept on being asked to change them, such a site would be charged differently.

If my business closes may I have a refund?

Sorry, no.

VAT?

Not registered.

Ruislip Online's ethical advertising policy

Ruislip Online operates on an ethical advertising basis. Should we receive any complaints about the service or conduct of any advertiser where we think that the good name of Ruislip Online could be called in to doubt by our carrying an advert for that person or company then, provided after investigation we are satisfied that the complaint is justified, and that the advertiser has acted in a way that we see as inappropriate, then that advert will be removed without notice.

In the event that such action is taken then Ruislip Online will refund to said advertiser on a pro-rata basis for any full months advertising.

My question was not answered by the ones above
