PhinneyWood.com is the only dedicated neighborhood news source for Phinney Ridge and Greenwood. Since launching in July of 2008, PhinneyWood has grown to 20,000 unique users and more than 100,000 page views a month — and still growing.

In a unique opportunity to reach a large number of Phinney Ridge and Greenwood residents in a single place, we offer advertising starting at just $150 a month. (For select nonprofits, announcements may be free.)

We also offer coupons free-of-charge to our advertisers. The coupons will be linked from just below the ad to North Seattle Guide, where the coupon is hosted. The deals will be promoted via Facebook, Twitter and email.

Check out our Advertising FAQs below. If you still have questions about advertising on PhinneyWood or other Next Door Media neighborhood sites, click here, or email Doree at ads@phinneywood.com.

What makes up an ad on PhinneyWood.com?

We have three different ad sizes:

1)  180 x 180 pixels image, which links to the website of your choice. The image can be a logo, message or even a photo of your business. You can see the ads right now in the right-hand column of this page. They rotate randomly but evenly through the six spots on the home page and the story pages (so if we have 12 ads, your ad will be seen on 50% of the page views).

Cost: $150 per month. (We also offer a FIXED position for $350, so your ad will be on every page view.)

2) 970 x 35 pixels banner. This premium ad position is at the top of the page, right below the PhinneyWood name and picture. We sell a maximum of three banner ads per month that would rotate through that position, so your ad will be seen by at least 33% of the page views.

Cost: $500 per month.

3) 300 x 250 pixels rectangle in a FIXED position below the third story on the home page.

Cost: $300 per month.

With any size ad, we offer a 5% discount for three months and a 10% discount for six months.

What if I don’t have an image?

We can shoot a photo of the exterior of your business for no charge. We also work with a graphic designer who charges $50 to create the ad if you provide an image, $100 if she starts from scratch.

What if I don’t have a website to link?

We can create a simple page on PhinneyWood with text that you provide. Please contact us at ads@phinneywood.com for more details.

How many page views do you get?

We’re averaging more than 100,000 page views with 20,000 unique users a month. And we’re still growing.

When will the ad run?

Ads are put online the 1st and 15th of every month.

Can I change the ad image and/or text during the campaign?

Yes, once a month. Just email us the new information at ads@phinneywood.com.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes! You can either pay in full by check or credit card. Payment must be received before the ad goes online.

Do you post public service announcements for free?

Yes, for nonprofits in select circumstances. Please email us for details.

Can I buy ads on your blogs in Ballard, Magnolia, Fremont, Queen Anne, Wallingford, Maple Leaf, University District and Wedgwood-View Ridge, too?

Are there some kinds of advertising you won’t accept?
