Advertising Rates

BellaOnline runs all of its advertising on a CPM - or Cost Per Thousand - payment system. We have focussed on developing a site that has quality content and very few ads. We never run pop-up, pop-under or other intrusive ads. Therefore, each ad we DO run is paid great attention to by our visitors, and we generate extremely high click-through rates. The rate is set based on the location of the ad.

Each site at BellaOnline puts out its own newsletter. You can subscribe to a number of the newsletters to see what the different styles are that our editors use. Use The Newsletter Listing to choose newsletters to subscribe to. Most newsletters go out weekly, but some go out bi-weekly or monthly. Site newsletter memberships range from 100 to 5,000 names.

Please note that our editors are all volunteers and work from their homes. They do not always put out newsletters on a set schedule. We recommend that you consider newsletters an 'added bonus' to your advertising efforts, but not your primary means of getting your message out.

Large Volume Advertising
If you are looking to purchase a large volume of advertising, please Contact our Advertising Department to set that up. Please be sure to mention the volume level you are interested in.
