 Editorial Links Sponsorships Text Ads Banner Ads
Caribbean-On-Line continues to show why we are the affordable, highly targeted advertising medium of choice for Caribbean travel-related businesses of all sizes. Our family of Caribbean websites currently average about 200,000 user sessions and one million page views a month. We are constantly adding new material, features, and changing and adapting to meet both our users' and advertisers' needs.
You can advertise directly with us utilizing our Editorial Links package (a block of tex with your copy, links to your business with an image or logo, place directly into the content of our pages on the most relevant pages). Our pricing remains at an annual flat rate which works out to mere pennies per click. We have found this system facilitates both the advertiser and us in terms of simplicity and cost effectiveness.
You can also take advantage of our traffic by participating in Google's AdWords program (Text Links) or with various size banner ads (Banner Ads), available through our agency, Travel Ad Network.
Editorial Links: (prices given are for 12 month terms)
• Hotels, Resorts & Villa Rental Agencies $795.00
• Private Villas, Charters, Car Rentals, Water sports, Real Estate, Wedding Planners, Golf Courses, etc. $395.00
• Shopping & Dining $295.00
Effective:
A text link (or links) from our pages to your website is the most effective way to advertise your Caribbean business. Depending on the type of business and the island you are on, your site can expect to receive 100 to over 1,000 visitors a month from us.
Contextual Marketing:
Our existing clients also frequently tell us that leads that come from us are more "highly qualified" - one of the reasons is that by the time someone comes to your site from Caribbean-On-Line they didn't come from doing a search somewhere on the word "Caribbean" or "Hotel" - they were already at the St. Lucia Hotel page for example - they got that far, they already know what they are interested in, and then they find your link - your website becomes the answer to their question in a relevant context, where the content of the site has already matched their interest.

Link Plan Extras:
If you feel you need more links than what the above plans offer extras links are available (where appropriate - on pages with relevant content), prices vary on your business type and the page you wish to be on.
Sponsorships:
For a larger budget or for those seeking greater coverage (more Caribbean wide than island or topic specific), site or topic sponsorships (your fixed logo/ad in the upper left hand or right hand column and additional editorial on appropriate pages) of individual pages, islands, specific topics, or whole websites (Caribbean-On-Line, Virgin-Islands-On-Line, Bahamas-On-Line, Mexico-On-Line) are available. Sponsorships are developed on a case by case basis with the potential sponsor. They can include banners, buttons, editorial, promotions, etc.
Some of our current site/topic sponsors are:
• Bolongo Bay Beach Club & Villas (Islands Sponsor - St. Thomas)
• Caribbean Way (Topic Sponsor - Villa Rentals)
• Trip Advisor (Site Wide Sponsor - Caribbean-On-Line)
