Why advertise on www.DogsbreathDivers.com?

Unlike most web sites ours is diving specific. Few web surfers arrive here from our adverts or search engines if they're not interested in diving, so they will be interested in your diving and travel products ~ there are over 700 diving pages here.

Our search engine entries are very specific allowing surfers to go to the page they want. Your advert needs to be eye catching and interesting to make them want to click the link to your product as we don't expect surfers to stay on our site long as they want information quickly and easily.

Inclusion in our directory: If you are a dive center able to supply air/nitrox/mixed gasses then you can be included in our directory for free for (at least) a year. We will show only your company/dive centre name, the address/location of your air supply i.e. your dive centre and contact details.
If you want to add a description of up to 100 characters we will add it to the line entry for GB£10 or US$20 per year. Alterations during the year are charged the same fee per alteration and are valid for the following 12 calendar months.

Advertising a link to your own site:
Companies tend to ask us for either A Directory Listing without pictures, or a picture Advertisements

A Directory Listing Example 2. You want your hotel/guest house details listed in our directory, .
For GB£100 or US$200 per year we will list your details e.g. Top Town Apartments, address ...town ...zip/post code ... country telephone, fax, email and web link.
Marine and diving related charities are listed for free on a temporary basis at our discretion.

We accept US dollars or English pounds by check/cheque in payment. Please let us know which pages you want your advert on and when.

Our 650+ pages do not use Frames, they are all individually designed and arranged. So, if you are a retailer serving a local area you can advertise on just one of our pages, whereas national retailers may want to place adverts on several pages to reach all of their prospective customers. So if you want to target just Dive Clubs in one region that's what you will get. If you want to target a whole country you can place the same (or varied) adverts on many pages.

When you contact us at dogsbreathdivers@hotmail.com please outline your requirements and we will contact you for the details. Following which we can create a test page for you to see.
Do not send any attachments other than .gif, .bmp or. jpg pictures.

Picture and other Advertisements:

An example:
Picture adverts show in the left column or base of any page and are linked to your own web site. There are several layout options illustrated further down this page.

Picture averts are negotiable and dependent on size and location within a page. These guidelines are layout examples and are not part of the Terms and Conditions. See the full Terms and Conditions.

Page layout within the Directories and Dive Site descriptions are generally set in two columns. Both are available for advertising except within the directory list itself. Adverts can appear in the left border or at the end of a list, for example:
