Why offer free listings?

Kent Island Online offers free listings to area businesses because every listing adds content to the site and provides a service to our community. The more content there is, the more often people will return to the site. Sites that charge for listings, are not complete resources, being that they only have a small percentage of area businesses listed. We strive to have everyone in the area listed here. It's good for local businesses and it's good for Kent Island Online. We get to provide a much needed service to our neighbors and visitors. We reserve the right to de-list any business that links competing websites to Kent Island Online.

Why pay for an ad if the listing is free?

Kent Island Online lists everyone for no charge, making us the most complete online guide in the area! Paid advertising on Kent Island Online definately has its advantages over a free listing. If you are in the middle of a group of listings with only a text listing, and your competition has a picture and link that stands out, readers will likely miss your listing. Think about when you used to look things up in the Yellow Pages. The listing that got your attention was most likely the one with a paid ad, a picture, bold, etc... The listings don't jump out like the paid ads do. We will work with you to come up with the most beneficial placement for your ad, and to design the ad that commands attention.

What does a paid ad look like?

We offer full-page sponsorships, banner advertisements, scrolling page specific image ads, and 2"X2" static graphic advertisements that can be placed on any page within Kent Island Online. We offer premium placement in your category and on multiple pages. All advertisements are created in-house and are linked directly to your site. If you do not have a website, we will make one for you. We also offer a single page site located on Kent Island Online which is perfect for menus and sale items. We can design any size ad, and can use your pictures and graphics. A good example of what our paid ads look like can be found right on our main page. We also offer sponsorships to our yearly charity festival, "Island Bay Day" that gets a lot of attention. We will work with you to design and implement the perfect advertisement to increase your revenue.

Why Choose Kent Island Online?

Kent Island Online gets approximately 50,000 hits per month. Out of that number, approximately 35,000 are "unique" hits. Our online web stats, provided by 'Stat Counter' prove that we are growing rapidly. The hits come from all over the local area, as well as around the country. In comparison, local newspaper delivery is about 15,000. Out of that number there is no way to tell if anyone is reading your ad. How many times have you thrown out the papers that are delivered to your home without even reading them? You don't read your junk-mail right? The local paper is delivered with the junk mail and in most cases is simply tossed. We polled area residents and found out that most do not read it, which is why they are now imitating this website.

Kent Island Online is like a "virtual" billboard for our area! Local newspapers are charging upwards of $350 for a one-time ad that is delivered only to 15K people and only in this local area. For a fraction of the cost of our competitors, you can have your ad on a site with not only local, but regional and a national reach of users that return to the site multiple times. That means you have access to locals, as well as tourists coming to the area. We also have a strong reach into Annapolis with our sister site, AnnapolisSite.com. Most people on Kent Island travel into Annapolis for various things on a regular basis, so we added a guide to the Annapolis area. If you run a hotel, restaurant, bar, or pretty much any business, this is the kind of reach you need. Don't be fooled by our imitators who are only looking to cash in on our proven formula.
