 What is ‘carpwebsites.co.uk’? |
Carpwebsites.co.uk is a website designed as the ultimate 'one-stop' link site to help carp anglers surfing the net find exactly what they want quickly and easily. Split into 6 clearly defined areas, carpwebsites.co.uk easily navigates visitors to a page of banners that link directly into websites of their particular interest.
| History of carpwebsites.co.uk - CarpWebsites Version 1 |
The website ‘carpwebsites.co.uk’ was initially set up in March 2006 as a logo driven visual links page to over 120 of the best carp websites on the internet. The site has been continually advertised in some of the monthly carp magazines as well as on many of the websites it already promotes. The site has proved extremely popular and received an average of 11,356 visitors per month over the 10 months between January and October 2007. It is due to this popularity that we decided to re-think our initial concept in order for it to be better laid out and easier navigated.

Your banner will be added to our database for the particular category or categories relevant to your area of business. Each time a visitor to the website opens a category containing your advert it will appear on the screen. The system is set up to list all banners randomly so there is no set position on the page thus ensuring impartial, unbiased advertising.
| The Categories |
There are six main categories you can advertise in:
- UK Carp Fisheries
- French Carp Fisheries (and other fishing holidays)
- Online Tackle Shops
- Carp Bait Companies
- Carp Tackle Manufacturers
- Forums, Online Magazines (and General Interest)

| What you get |
We will create your banner advert free of charge (although you are welcome to design your own). Each week (or month if you prefer) you will receive an automated email showing you:
- the number of visitors that have seen your banner, and;
- the number of visitors who have clicked on your banner.
The frequency of this report can be altered at your request. Accuracy of the figures on the report can be checked against your websites own statistic package.
