Advertising On the Fountain Pen Network
Why advertise on FPN?
FPN is the number one and truly independent fountain pen site in the world. With more than 4.7 million pages delivered to real people in June 2015 according to Google Analytics, and more than 6 million according to server statistics (AwStats; includes pages search bots cannot see), we are well within the top 25,000 sites worldwide (of 25,000,000+ and counting, source: Alexa.com).
As an example, in June 2015 FPN was visited by more than 270,000 unique visitors, in over 635,000 visits, on average looking at 5.30 pages per visit with each visit lasting 05:50 minutes. And June is traditionally the slowest of all months ....
In short, not only a large captive audience, but one that continuously expands as well.
Demographics support this too. Several years ago, FPN was visited mostly by US citizens. These days our members and visitors form a very diverse group, although US citizens still account for approximately 45% to 50% of traffic. Europeans make up another large part.
Top countries other than the US include the UK, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, Italy, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, India, and Australia. All in all people from 193 countries worldwide visit FPN, many on a regular basis.
More than 37% of people browsing FPN are new visitors.

Options and Possibilities
We have a variety of advertising types and layouts on offer, ranging from large to small, either at the top below the header, or on the right hand side of the board, as displayed on this page and listed in the tables below.
New for 2015: Advert space is now not only sold on a monthly/quarterly/half yearly or annual basis per position, but also on a per 100 clicks or per 100000 impressions basis. All adverts must be approved and paid in full prior to being put online, and to keep our advertising rates as low as possible, our rates are non-commissionable. The FPN Wide Leaderboard and IAB Skyscraper ads are shared with ads from ad agencies, but directly sold adverts will always have a higher display priority.

(7) Half width sidebar adverts (Small Tiles and Micro Bars) are always displayed in pairs. |
