For FREE OVERVIEW ON PROMOTING YOUR SITE CLICK HERE. You may have noticed that AntiguaToday! has an unusual approach to income. YES we need money in order to continue this FREE service but NO we don't want to compromise our integrity for a few $$$. We don't design custom web pages (try here if that's what you want). We don't clutter our pages with zillions of banners.... and we don't recommend sites, businesses or services UNLESS we believe in what they have to offer (our readers rely on our independent recommendations so we ONLY recommend services that THEY tell us are good). Having said that we can't survive on the sponsorship of Island Arts Galleries alone. We offer the following options from inexpensive links to sponsorship.
If you want to be associated with our site email us with details of what you have in mind. We will check you out.
LINKS You probably know that we provide FREE LINKS to all websites (directly related to Antigua & Barbuda) PROVIDED they put a reciprocal link to AntiguaToday! somewhere prominent on their site. Just email Nick@AntiguaToday.com . SITES THAT DO NOT PROVIDE A RECIPROCAL LINK CAN STILL PROMOTE THEIR SITE IF THEY PAY US$ 25.00 per year for the link service. That's less than 50 cents a week!
NEWS LETTER SPONSORS Another good way to promote your site is through the AntiguaToday! Newsletter. This promotion is cheap AND doubly effective. Firstly newsletters go out whenever we have tourist related or hurricane news, but then the newsletter is also posted on the site. Initially it appears on our latest news page and then becomes part of our PERMANENT newsletter archive! It is sent to surfers who have SUBSCRIBED to the service because they have a specific interest in our islands so its a TARGETED promotion. For only US$ 20.00 you can sponsor an issue of the newsletter. All you have to do is email information of your services and site to us and we will do the rest.
DIGITAL BILLBOARDS An extremely affordable option for those wishing to establish on-line contact information is a digital billboard. One image with 200 words of text AND contact address/fax/email/phone#. COST: only US$ 75.00 per year !
In addition... you can attract tourists to your services by making a special offer via our special offer page aimed not only at individuals but also at tour operators and incentive groups.
THIS PAGE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA as FREE STUFF pages receive vastly more surfers than regular pages. The page will also be promoted widely on the AntiguaToday! pages.
You can strengthen your on-line presence by combining a Digital Billboard with SPONSORSHIP or a NEWSLETTER release.
ASSOCIATE'S PAGES If you don't have your own site or would like an independent intro to an existing site you should consider a AFFILIATE PAGE. Accessable from search engines and listed in our link pages,each page includes two images, up to 1000 words (delivered by email), and is formated to blend into the AntiguaToday environment for stylistic integrity. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY OF GAINING AN INEXPENSIVE INTERNET ENTITY. Selected businesses will be invited to participate for an annual fee of US$ 160.00 inclusive of design and a year's hosting. If we overlook your business and you feel you should be included in this promotion please contact us.
AntiguaToday affiliates can include any NEW information about their business, personnel, new services and special promotions in the AntiguaToday! Newsletter AS OFTEN AS THEY LIKE FOR FREE. The only limitation is that news MUST be supplied to us via email and MUST be fresh information. Your message is sent out to surfers with a specific interest in our islands so its a TARGETED promotion and then the newsletters are posted as part of our PERMANENT newsletter archive!
In addition... FREE... associates can attract tourists to your services by making a special offer via our special offer page aimed not only at individuals but also at tour operators and incentive groups. THIS PAGE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA as FREE STUFF pages receive vastly more surfers than regular pages. The page will also be promoted widely on the AntiguaToday! pages. We want to be able to offer specials on accommodation, goods and services. Associates determine what specials or discounts they can offer, we promote them through the SPECIAL OFFER PAGE and through the AntiguaNewsletter. The surfer prints the offer on their home printer (it will state that the offer is limited to one coupon per couple) and could perhaps be confirmed by you via email (that's a good way to get surfers to make contact with you). This promotion becomes a draw for your business BEFORE THEY EVER REACH THE ISLAND. (Yahoo! and Altavista statistics show that "FREE" is the most commonly searched word on the internet!)
All YOU have to do is email us with details of the special offer and we design and promote the page.
ALL PAGES WILL CONFORM TO THE REGULAR AntiguaToday! FORMAT You can strengthen your on-line presence by combining your ASSOCIATES page with SPONSORSHIP or a NEWSLETTER release.

SPONSORS SPONSORS: Sponsors can be broken into three categories....
1. Those who sponsor the whole site and are promoted on many different pages via a rotating banner (their banner linked to their web site or "associate" page). Rotating banners will be used on ALL "introductory" high traffic pages AND on any pages not specificly sponsored by a fixed banner. COST: US$ 95.00 per year
2. Those who sponsor a single page (specific to the service they provide) via a an animated, non-rotating, banner (their banner linked to their web site or "associate" page). We are in the process of splitting our unwieldy links page AND the VIRTUAL ISLAND TOUR into specific categories. We're looking for SPONSORS in each category. COST: US$ 10.00 per month (paid annually)
3. Those who want both of the above. COST: US$ 175 per year.
Banners - A custom made, animated, text banner similar to the one below is included in the costs. To impart an overall sense of style, the banners will be standardized (but with different text). They will link to a sponsor's chosen site or a feature page about them.
You can provide your own banner if you wish. It must be less than 15K.
