Advertisers wishing to promote Arts & Crafts related
products to our audience have a choice of three different levels of advertising.
Details and prices given here are correct at the time of publication and all prices are exclusive of VAT.
All prices are for the display of an advert,
in rotation,
on certain pages,
for a period of time - no charge is made based on the number of clicks or impressions.
We are able to offer graphic design services upon request (at extra cost).
The benefits!
The main thing you need it know is: "How many people will see my advert?" so we've included our
traffic statistics below for you to see. They go all the way back to 2009 so you can see how hard we are
working on building the amount of attention the site receives.
Figures in italic indicate predicted traffic for future months (based on past performance and current growth).
All revenue from advertising goes directly towards the maintenance and development of handmade-crafts.co.uk.
Remember, advertising options start from just £5 a month + VAT

Which pages show adverts?
We are currently showing advertisements on all pages of the site, however, if we feel that adverts compromise the quality of a specific area,
we reserve the right to make some pages advert-free. We will always show advertisements on the main (landing) page of the site.
Please note that all craft advert links are marked as no-follow in order to comply with
Google's Webmaster Guidelines on Paid Links.
We're happy to add a do-follow link to our craft directory for you, though!
How does advert rotation work?
All adverts will be rotated evenly, e.g. if there are ten
Premium Adverts in the system,
a different one will be shown on each page view, and each advert will repeat once every ten pages.
If you want your advert to show up more often, you can always buy more than one block, to obtain more places in the rotation!
Can I use an animated gif for my advert?
In general, the answer is no. We'd rather not have too many moving/distracting elements on the site - and in broader
terms, we reserve the right to reject an advert if it is very brighly coloured and might prove a distraction.
However, that said, we always try to be reasonable and might be prepared to accept an animation if it is subtle and
does not detract from the site/it's content in any way, so please do ask first.
