Want to reach people who are tuned into the arts, politics and culture of Madison? You've come to the right place. The Dane101 Ad Network attracts loyal readers who either live in the greater Madison area, want to move here, or want to visit here. Our self-service system not only lets you place text ads but lets you modify them whenever you want - and run them for however long you want.

As with the content on our site, Dane101 is focused on providing alternatives to the traditional media structure. Our ads are priced to help local businesses who may not have the budget to advertise in the pages or on the websites of other publications in town. You are helping us grow by advertising on Dane101, we want to help you grow.

Dane101 is also unique; we are ahead of the advertising game in Madison by almost exclusively using text advertising. Many regular internet users suffer from "banner blindness" - they are so used to image advertisements on a website their brain tunes them out. Text ads are beneficial because they are often viewed as content and therefore have been proven to have a higher click through rate.

Additionally, many companies and users can set browsers to block image ads from appearing on websites. Text advertising almost always guarantees that your ads will be seen.

Finally, more and more people are browsing the internet via cell phones - like the popular iPhone. These new ways of web browsing do not currently handle "flash." Many of the ads you see on other local media sites are flash based, so if someone is visiting that site via iPhone, they won't see your ad.

Of course, if you do have an image ad to display, don't worry, we can easily accommodate (must of our leaderboard ads will still be image ads).

Rates vary depending on where you want your ad to appear. Check out http://ads.dane101.net for more information on how to get started! Welcome aboard!
