WHY SHOULD YOU ADVERTISE OR SELL WITH JHO?

No need to mess around with expensive search engines and costly print media ads. Your business will see instant results as a JHO sponsor. The costs amount to a fraction of traditional advertising fees yet the audience is worldwide and available 24/7. Your ad or link info will be seen many times, by many different people, for a relatively small amount of money. Advertising costs for your business are also tax deductible.

LOTS OF EYEBALLS. The JHO website is very sticky. In Internet lingo this means visitors spend a lot of time here reading and looking around. We have a very content rich website which is kept fresh with new articles, Pro Staff reports, Journal features, RSS feeds and reviews of guides and outfitters.

SO HOW BUSY IS JHO? How can you tell how big and busy JHO really is and how much business your ad will generate for you? Many websites list hits per month, page views or unique visitors but these figures are almost useless to show how many people actually visited the website. Take any website statistics with a grain of salt. A hit to a website can be a request from another website for a file or image and a potential customer never even visited the website. Unique visitor numbers show a more realistic idea of how many people visit the website but are not totally reliable. At some point, the focus has to shift from quantity toward quality. What are customers getting for their money? How likely are they to come back? How many of them will preach the site's virtues to their friends? Those questions are not answered by looking at website statistics alone.

EASY PEAZY ADVERTISER USER INTERFACE. To track your advertising campaign we use the highly acclaimed phpAdsnew ad software which contains an excellent advertiser user interface. You can see screen shots of the advertiser user interface pages here. Screen shots Of Advertiser User Interface.
