We launched Cell Phone Forums in January 2002.
It's been almost 2 months since then and we have grown to nearly 110 members strong.

We are still a growing community of cell phone users who use the web daily to communicate with others.

We are offering a special on advertising:

1,000 CPM (impressions) only $2.00
5,000 CPM (impressions) only $5.00
10,000 CPM (impressions) only $10.00

If you need more, we can quote you.

The banner will be displayed at the top, near the logo.

I understand that we may not be the correct site to advertise your hosting services, but we have many users who have websites and need hosting services.

Please pm or email if interested.

Thanks.

The CPM is quite high, especially for a forum based site. No ad agency would accept us just because of that, and we had over 11,000+ members in 1,000+ different communities. Those who accepted us, the CPM is like .15 cents. I think you'll only get a higher CPM if you have content and not user contributed posts, otherwise CPM is just a waste, especially for forums...

I assume that's because on a website with alot of content people spend more time reading pages, which is what advertisers would want.

On a forum-based website people don't spend much time on 1 page.

Yes, that is very true.

We are in the middle of growing our forums only website and integrating it with a community type of site.

We will build something that people can come to and sit back, relax, and catch up on the latest. It will be some type of a hub for cell phone users.

Thanks.
