Castlebar.ie Advertising Rate Card

Advertising with www.castlebar.ie

Castlebar.ie had over 1,2400,000 page impressions in June 2003. Traffic is increasing steadily and in June 2003 over 200,000 visits were made to the site with each visit lasting 16 minutes on average. We can put your message on our pages.

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.
