Advertising with www.castlebar.ie  

Castlebar.ie had over 3.4 million 'hits' and over 1.6 million page impressions in May 2010. Our traffic and visitor numbers are substantial - with an average of 6265 visits made to the site each day in May.

Thus, advertising with castlebar.ie makes sense - we can put your message on our pages. We can even tell you exactly how many people respond to your adverts in terms of pages read and clicks on banners. Newspapers and radio cannot do this.

Our demographic surveys show that 69% of our readers live in Ireland (with 47% of these within a 10-mile radius of Castlebar town and 54% in County Mayo). Of the remainder 15% live in the USA, 9% in the UK and 7% in the rest of the world. Virtually all have Mayo links so it is a highly targeted demographic for Mayo businesses.

The volume of traffic to the Castlebar site is quite extraordinary for a small town website in the West of Ireland. The site is updated 365 days a year with new photographs of life in County Mayo published every day.

Your business can take advantage of the traffic generated by www.castlebar.ie. Our special introductory rate card compares very favourably with the rates charged for advertising on the local press and radio.
