Advertising Information

Why should I advertise on FlashlightNews?

Online advertising is all about reaching a specific target audience. And FlashlightNews is one of the most highly targeted sites on the web. If your company makes or sells flashlights, LEDs and associated electronics, or other portable lighting-related products, and you want to gain the attention of consumers who are looking for flashlight-related information, FlashlightNews is the web site you want your ads to appear on. In fact. over the past 90 days, our top 50 search keywords have all been related to either flashlights, batteries and chargers, or light emitting diodes (LEDs) and electronics.

What can you tell me about your viewers?

Over the most recent 90 day period (ending December 20, 2009), FlashlightNews had over 36,000 unique visitors and served more than 100,000 page views. Our reach is worldwide with visitors from 145 countries and territories over the same time period. Additionally, over 65% of our traffic is from various search engines, with less than 2% of our visitors coming via referral from the various flashlight-related message boards. This means that your advertising message will reach a wide spectrum of the general public, instead of a small niche of flashlight enthusiasts as is the case with ads placed on flashlight-related message board sites.
