1. Content and Design: HavanaJournal.com is one of the largest Cuba related websites in the entire world and it is very reader and advertiser friendly. We produce a wide variety of fresh and unique content that is interesting to our visitors. The site is designed in such a way that our readers can focus on the content that interests them and avoid content that is not interesting to them. This gives our advertisers the opportunity to place ads along side content that is relevant to their product or service.
3. Network of Sites: There are 37 other Cuba related sites in our Havana Network each with its own unique content and business model giving our advertisers reach across a variety of content, visitors and websites.
4. Limited Opportunities at other Cuba Sites: We did a thorough search for medium to high traffic Cuba related sites and found over 50 worth reviewing for our Cuba Select Ranking review. We created several top ten lists based on different ratings criteria. Most sites are run by individuals or small enterprises without ad space. We were only able to find one site with a ad rate page and that’s a pro-Embargo anti-Castro blog site.
We offer a variety of ad placement opportunities for banner ads and text link ads:
-- Home page
-- Cuba Forum
-- Right column (run of site)
-- Replace any AdSense ads with your own
-- Miscellaneous pages like Events Calendar, Castro Watch, Marketplace and Photo Gallery
-- Havana Journal Media Network sites
-- Sponsor Category (your own category in the appropriate Section where you can post original content)
-- Directory placement (Global directory page, Section directory page, directory category, directory listing - standard and bold)
-- Section placement (Business, Culture, Politics, Travel, Cuban Americans, Marketplace, Cigars, Castro Watch, Events Calendar and Photo Gallery) and placement in categories
