FAQs

Why advertise on the Web?

As newspaper circulation continues to decline, people are turning to the Internet as their primary news source. In fact, a Pew Research Center study found that the Web surpassed newspapers as an information source back in 2008 — 10 years ago!  — and use of the Web over newspapers has only grown since. Moreover, people who get their news from the Web tend to be more engaged and well-educated, a sought-after demographic for small businesses. Is it any wonder local newspaper and radio are both trying to sell web advertising on the side? They know it works.

There isn’t a better way to reach local residents than with an ad on SweetwaterNOW.

Will SweetwaterNOW write an article about my business if I advertise on the site?

No — our advertising is independent from editorial. Advertising with SweetwaterNOW is not a guarantee that the content team will write about your business. If you have Sweetwater-related news please email our news department at news@sweetwaternow.com

Do I need to make my own ad or does SweetwaterNOW provide it?

If you need a designer for your ad we can refer you to our graphic designer who works with you to create a compelling ad at reasonable rates. For clients who sign 6-month and 12-month contracts, we do offer some design work at no charge.

How many people will see my ad on SweetwaterNOW?

SweetwaterNOW’s readership varies with the news, but sweetwaternow.com has averaged more than 90,000 unique visitors each month. That’s over 1 million pageviews a month. And per Google, we have a solid daily audience of over 12,000 readers who come back day after day to stay informed. Our audience penetration is outstanding.

How do I know this will work?

The success of a campaign depends on many factors including ad placement, creative copy and design. This is true with any type of advertising, but with web – it’s measurable. We recommend that you use your ad primarily to increase brand awareness. Think of it as your billboard on Sweetwater County’s busiest virtual intersection – with the added value of driving traffic to your website over time, and the power to change your message on a regular basis. That said, we measure results with standard online advertising metrics and receive hugely positive feedback from our advertisers all the time.

Is there a pageview guarantee?

SweetwaterNOW does not guarantee page views or “clicks.” (But see above for our outstanding readership penetration numbers.) We can give estimated minimum impressions based on the ad placement you are interested in and also average click-rates for the site, but CTR has a lot more to do with the creative and message of the advertisement than anything.
