If you are looking for a low-cost place to advertise with a solid rate of return, consider placing your ad on TalkSport.com and ScoresLine.com. For one low price, your ad will appear on two great sports related sites! Talksport.com is one of the largest sports forums on the web, and ScoresLine.com is one of the fastest and easiest to use scoreboards. Together they produce well over 1 million page views per month during the September through April period (football and basketball seasons), with an estimated audience of more than 10,000 unique users.
Fixed Position Ads (120 x 60) and Rotating Banners (728 x 90)
We offer six fixed position ad spots that appear on EVERY PAGE of both TalkSport.com and ScoresLine.com. You can run a 120 x 60 banner ad, or a boxed text link ad containing a maximum of 10 words. The advertiser that owns these positions can rotate multiple banners or boxed text links ad in their space at no extra charge.
We also offer rotating 728 x 90 banners that appear on the bottom of the page, and are sure to catch the eye of potential customers. They are sold by a percentage of the banner rotation, in 10% increments. A 10% slice of the rotation will produce more than 100,000 banner impressions every month, and a 20% slice will produce exactly twice as many impressions. The advertiser that owns a percentage of the rotation can can rotate multiple banners within their space at no extra charge.
There are only seven ad spots (six buttons and one 728 x 90 banner) on the sites. Unlike other sites, we don't cram our pages full of advertising, so your ads will get the full attention they deserve.
The table below lists the monthly cost of each advertising spot. After comparing our low prices to the competition, we think you'll agree that TalkSport.com and ScoresLine.com offer more bang (and more potential customers for your business) for the buck!
