Key benefits

Over 4 million unique visitors
Get your product or service in front of millions of people along the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast of the United States. The vast majority of our visitors live in hurricane-effected areas. In 2008, our top four known traffic sources were Texas (5 million+ visits), Florida (1.5 million+ visits), Louisiana (750,000+ visits), and Georgia (350,000+ visits). While many sites can deliver page views, our pages are served to a highly-specific audience--the audience you want to reach. Our site also enjoys a strong presence in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Bahamas.

Citizens, emergency officials, and professional decision-makers
The make-up of our audience is unique among websites. In addition to millions of weather watchers viewing from home, our site receives hundreds of thousands of visits from Fortune 100 companies, including those in the petro-chemical, aerospace, defense, insurance, and communications industries. Many of these visits are from coordinators, managers, and executives, who use our site as an information dashboard during critical times. As a demographic, our audience trends towards affluence and higher levels of education. Not all page views are created equal. Let us help you reach the audience you need to reach.

A high-quality brand people love
The Stormpulse brand is fast becoming a trusted, dependable, high-quality resource. By focusing on presentation and display, our site has found its way on to the screens of an increasing number of loyal fans that appreciate the relevance and tight integration of our content. We want our advertising to excel in the same way. By building our own advertising network, we retain editorial control to guarantee your advertisement will appear in the context of other severe-weather related, high-quality ads and content. Elevating the quality of our entire network means customers are more likely to view and click your ad.

Targeting cities or geographic areas
Although Stormpulse.com attracts an already-niche audience, you may want to target only those viewers living in a certain region. For example, as a Houston-based hurricane shutters company that installs locally but ships nationwide, you may want visitors from Houston and Galveston to see one advertisement while visitors from other parts of the country see another. Or maybe you'd like to spend your ad dollars within your local metro area only. We can do this for you.

Programs

Stormpulse offers three ways to advertise your product or service on our site or affiliate network.

Stormpulse Click - Pay-per-click (PPC) - Think of this as lead generation. Your ad appears as a text link with a description. When someone clicks your ad, they are sent to the page of your choice on your site. You pay only when someone clicks your ad.

Stormpulse Display - Pay-per-pageview (CPM) - Traditional advertising on the web in the form of graphics or banners. You pay for a certain number of page views on certain pages. We place your ad on those pages and then monitor traffic. Your ad runs until your page view limit is reached.

Stormpulse Sponsorship - Pay-per-day (CPD) - Advertisements embedded on the tracking map are handled on a sponsorship basis, which means a flat fee payment that covers a duration of days. During those days, your ad can be viewed and clicked an unlimited number of times.
