Need cost-effective advertising? look no further!

HEXUS is recognised as far and away the largest, most influential and best-trusted online PC technology resource in the UK, bar none.

HEXUS continues to grow apace. In the month of June 2007 alone, HEXUS attracted over 1.8 million unique visitors - all of them potential purchasers of technology products - and they read more than 27 million pages of our unique content.

Those figures are measured by an open source stats measurement package, to a very high degree of accuracy, which fully exclude all irrelevant traffic generated by robots, worms or replies with special HTTP-status codes.

... if you want to get your message across cost-effectively, look no further than HEXUS.

We've got the reach, with an audience of high-spending buyers of the latest computer hardware and software - for home and for business - and consumer electronics.

But what exactly can HEXUS offer you?

A massive, big-spending audience

This covers,

• Hugely-knowledgeable prosumers, corporate IT decision-makers and long-time PC enthusiasts
• Console and PC gamers - hardcore pros (and wannabes), serious, regular and casual
• Digital-lifestyle enthusiasts integrating HDTV and around-the-home media with their PCs

A sophisticated advertising system

This lets you,

• Geo-target advertisements by region - so you only pay for ads seen by the people in your target country
• Spread your campaign over an agreed period. Rather than waste your ad spend by delivering in one or two days, it's spread out through a month
• Run animated GIFs and video advertisements, including Flash (SWF)

Other solutions

Below is a selection of some of the additional options HEXUS offers.

• SmartAds - delivering volume-buying savings but letting you use advertising as you need to through the year. And page-impression not used one month can be carried over to the next month
• Focus groups - interact with our readers in a closed forum for market research
• Site-takeovers - create a huge splash for a big launch. Take over every ad-location on a specific HEXUS site and have the site mirror your corporate colours and carry your logos and images
• A massive range of sponsorship options. Rather than offer a one-size-fits-all compromise, we always tailor sponsorship to precisely match what's needed. Email David Ross to discuss the many options
• Newsletters - daily, weekly and ad-hoc. And, yes, they can be sponsored
• Support forums - keep customers happy and get your message across

But whatever your needs, we can create bespoke solutions that really do deliver - with accurate stats so you can see that your key targets are being achieved.

Mechanical data

Advertisements can be run in a variety of formats, sizes and locations to suit your needs.

File formats

• Flash or Gif, static or animated. Please ensure that any Flash file has a Click_tag

Advert restrictions

In the interests of protecting both our readers and advertisers, and to ensure that our pages operate smoothly on as wide a range of Internet enabled devices as possible, a number of restrictions on adverts exist. These are listed below.

1. Adverts should be provided in animated GIF (or static PNG/JPG) format if they:
1. Only link to a single place (e.g. clicking the advert takes the user to a specific page)
2. Have no dynamic content (e.g. are a looping animation that the user doesn't interact with other than to follow a link)
2. Flash (SWF) adverts will only be accepted if, when viewed on their own, they use less than 5% of a 2.6GHz CPU.

Any advert submitted in Flash (SWF) that meets the criteria set out in clause 1 will be rejected and a GIF conversion requested in its place. If the advert doesn't meet the criteria in clause 1, then the advert must meet the restrictions in clause 2 in order for us to accept it and include it on our sites. HEXUS reserves the right to determine, using its own methods, whether an advert meets the aforementioned criteria, and can apply additional restrictions where deemed necessary.

Advert sizes and locations

• 120 x 120 - Maximiser banner advertisement that runs only on the main site
• 120 x 600 - Skyscraper, a larger banner advertisement that runs only on the main site
