Most homes and businesses in the Delta Junction area now have computers, e-mail and World Wide Web access. 

Many Delta people visit the Delta News Web daily or even more frequently. During January 2005, our server delivered an average of  700 views of the home page each day. That's an increase of 40% from the previous year. While it is not possible to determine exactly where viewers come from, the data we have suggest most are from the Delta area. 

We offer four basic advertising types: 1) Delta News Web home page sponsor ads; 2) rotating banner ads; 3) hosted web pages, and 4) classified ads.  We also develop complete web pages and websites. Please email us or call us at 1 (907) 895-4919 for more information about these. Here are some representative websites that we have built.

Advertising Rates

1. Home page sponsor ads 

This is your most visible advertising mechanism for reaching the Delta market. These advertisements will usually be shown over 500 times per day, every day. Our rate is $192 per year….just $16 per month.
Here's what you get:

• A simple but effective 125 X 125 pixel graphic advertisement that is visible in rotation on most pages of the website, as at right.  The advertisements change each time the page is viewed (press refresh and watch the advertisements change).

• Your ad will link to your existing website, or, if you don't have a website, we can provide a simple hosted web page(s) for you.

• If you would like to have a sponsor advertisement on the Delta community information website, the cost is an additional $52 per year for each category, and includes a banner ad on both websites AND a text advertisement in the business directory.  This website has an average of over 400 visitors per day.

2. Hosted web pages

Here is an inexpensive solution for your first World Wide Web site. We charge a hosting fee of $156 per year for one to ten pages. Here's what you get:

• Your address would be www.alaska-highway.org/delta/<yourbusinessname>

• If you provide text and photos, we will design the first page for $195. That includes your first year of hosting. Additional pages can be added. Our design fee is $66 per hour.

• Hosting is $156 per year -- just $13 per month (for up to ten pages).

• We can provide a domain name pointer for an additional charge of $43 for the first two years. You could have, for example,  www.<yourbusinessname>.com which would automatically direct visitors to www.alaska-highway.org/delta/<yourbusinessname> For an example see www.alaskatoughtrailers.com  Not all names are available; check with us to see how your name can be put on the web.

• Hosted web pages can be sponsors for an additional $100. First year hosted web page and DNW sponsorship is $295. Thereafter, the price is $256 per year. Changes are billed at $66 per hour.

3. Classified ads

Non commercial classified ads with fewer than 80 words are free! Ads larger than 80 words and commercial ads will cost the following amount: $9/week, $27/month, $49/three months. Hyperlinks are permitted. We accept checks and credit cards. We accept non commercial advertisements only via our submission form (no telephone calls or FAXes, please). 

4. "Deltads" (text ads)

These text ads display on almost every page on the Delta News Web, including the classified ads page.  They are perfect for a business wanting to minimize advertising costs, but still realize tremendous visibility.  We recommend having your own website, or we can provide a hosted web page at low cost (see 3 above).  Introductory prices are: $30/month, $45/quarter, $80/half year, and only $120 for an entire year.  Maximum number of characters, including spaces and punctuation is 150.  Advertising space in this section is limited.

How to Place An Advertisement

Please note that these rates are subject to change.
