Hi all!

I don't know if any of you are aware of this, but PingZine has a section in their magazine where you can add a directory listing for just $25 an issue.

If you're interested, use this link to get to the order page directly: https://www.pingzine.com/directory.php .

We have a listing in the next issue, so I'll let you all know if we get a good response from it.

Happy hosting! :)

How do you plan on measuring this? Word of mouth? Or do you have a landing page setup for just the magazine?

I'm curious what kind of traffic :)

Well, I know this sounds crude, but I'm just going to be measuring our website traffic and signups when the ad appears. Our $3.95/month plan is specifically mentioned, so I'll especially be looking at the signups there.

Isn't PingZine a magazine targeted towards the hosting market? How many hosts need hosting?

Yeah, I don't see the average provider doing very well with this.

Make that 7! I enjoy each issue, but I feel this magazine is probably a better advertising platform for datacenters.

Yep or resellers/dedicated providers possibly, I added an ad for my stuff to it, good magazine so at least I'm supporting something I get for free. Plus its for resellerguide.com so might actually get some visits :)

I read somewhere that it's over 100,000. Could be wrong.

BTW, and a bit off-topic, but man your web site looks a lot like http://www.mediatemple.net/services/webhosting/

Velostream,

We had some issues with a small firm that we'd hired and have had several problems brought to our attention. Since then, we've taken on a design partner that's in the process of redoing our site, but it's still a few weeks away from completion. If you're interested to see how it turns out, I can keep you posted. BTW, the design team that's doing our new site is CKBE; they're pretty good and serious. http://www.ckbe.com

Stealthy One, how did the directory listing in PineZine work out for you?

Hey dude.... did you realize the thread you're responding to is almost 2 years old??? He's probably forgotten all about it....
