SAMPLE 300x250 Large Rectangle:

This format is the hottest unit on the internet right now, and is the favored format for Flash and Video Ads. It works very well on editorial pages, and two units can be placed side by side. Large Rectangle Ads typically generate higher click-through rates than conventional 468x60 banners. Ask about this new format and flash movies.

We offer 300x250 units on our home page and most of our editorial pages.

SAMPLE WIDE Standard (600x60)
This is a new format showing proving very popular across the web. It's a PERFECT FIT for our page lay-outs, spanning the entire page.

SAMPLE GIANT Banner Advertisement (600x120).
The Giant Banner is a very effective, eye-catching placement. This works great as a page-topper on our home-page or a feature article. We also offer a 160x600 Vertical (Skyscraper) format.



ADVERTISING PLANS
Banner Ads will run on the home page, at the top of EVERY Message Board page, on the Gun on the Week page, Gun of the Week Archive, Article Archive, and in numerous other locations throughout the site (Our site has over 700 content pages). All Advertisers' Banner Ads will appear on a dedicated Sponsors Page. For tracking purposes, our ad server logs ad views, click-throughs, and CTR. We can deliver weekly or monthly reports on request.

One 468x60 Banner

Price: $300/quarter or $999/year (20% off quarterly rate)
Guaranteed impressions: 1,000,000/year
Effective CPM: $1.00
Our highly-effective basic banner is an excellent value. Other shooting websites charge as much as $650.00 per quarter for the same size banner, while delivering half as many impressions.

This 468x60 banner links directly to your website. It can be a variety of media: JPEG, GIF, Animated GIF, Flash. (Note: We also have a "small business plan" for solo operators and gunsmiths, which delivers fewer impressions per month, at a lower base rate.)

One 468x60 Banner PLUS One 300x250 Banner

Price: $2000/year
Guaranteed Aggregate Impressions: 2,000,000/year
Effective CPM: $1.00

PLUS...

This plan gives you a dedicated (non-rotating) button on our Forum. Your button is visible ABOVE the fold on EVERY Page Load. Purchasing a Forum Button ensures that the most active and serious site users, Forum visitors, can reach your online store with just one click. Forum users are actively researching gun gear and eager to buy new products--you couldn't ask for a better audience. A maximum of six (6) 88x31 buttons are sold each month. This gives your company more than half a million impressions a month at a very low CPM--around $0.50 per thousand impressions. Button sponsors also receive a prominent link in our popular AccurateShooter Daily Bulletin.

PAYMENT METHOD
You can pay by check, PayPal, or major credit card through PayPal. In some cases, we can also accept barter or product in trade. No refunds after ads commence running.

ARTWORK Requirement
Just email your 468x60 Banner file to Mailbox@6mmBR.com. Maximum file size should be about 25 kb. We can display GIF, JPEG, PNG, and Flash files. Flash ads work great, produce a higher response rate, and can hold interactive (clickable) elements within the banner. If you don't have artwork, for $40-$80 (depending on time spent) we can create a GIF or JPEG banner for you (animation is extra). Here are ads we built for Baer Custom Rifles, MT Guns, Master Class Stocks, and Shadetree Engineering.

SUPERIOR Advertising VALUE

We currently guarantee 1,000,000 impressions per year to each Tier One 468x60 banner advertiser, who pays $300/quarter or $999 per year. That's a Cost Per Thousand (CPM) of just $1.00, a great value. And in recent months, we have OVER-delivered on banner impressions, effectively reducing your net CPM. On average, we drive over 1500 visitors to each advertisers' site every quarter.

Another shooting website (call for details) charges $250 per MONTH for roughly 45,000 impressions per month on a 1-year contract. Plus that website charges a $250.00 "Set-Up" fee. We charge no set-up fee, and no 1-year contract is required. Including their Set-Up Fee, six months of advertising with our competitor costs $1750.00 versus just $400.00 with AccurateShooter.com! We deliver More Bang for your Buck.

Your site has brought me a lot of good business. Just recently I got orders for two $4000 rifles.
I plan to expand my advertising presence because I know this works. When we ran a Big Banner for our DVDs on the home page, we were immediately swamped with dozens of orders.

Mike Bryant, Bryant Custom
6mmBR.com | AccurateShooter.com is one of only three internet sites I support through advertising. You guys are doing a good job and you deliver quality referrals.

What AccurateShooter.com users are saying about us:

"I would like to say 'Thank you' for running the most informative, no-nonsense accurate shooting website out there. I just got back into shooting last year, having never reloaded before, and really never into the accuracy game. I can tell you that what I have learned from your articles and on the forum would have taken many years to learn through trial and error and spending a lot of money experimenting with loads, barrels, etc.; this would be daunting to say the least without a resource like AccurateShooter.com." -- Andy Wiese

G'day, Awesome web site. You guys have spent a huge amount of time and effort and it certainly shows. Keep up the good work." -- Muz in OZ (Murray Hicks)

"6mmBR.com is the best shooting site—bar none." -- R. Schatz, 1000-Yard Record Holder

"Thanks for making your website the most informative SHOOTING site on the internet. Thanks to you, I have been able to come to a decision on which dream rifle to get built. Gunsmith Clay Spencer, action Kelbly's. I have already been in contact with them." -- Mike Darlow

"Just wanted to let you know what a superb site you have. I am a 6PPC BR competitor and roam Benchrest.Com extensively. I just surfed around and must say it is perhaps the finest shooting web site I have seen! Great work." -- Jeff Stover

"To make a long story short, this website is my go-to guide for precision shooting. The information available on this website has bettered my education in precision shooting, my game and my supplies and equipment." -- Scott Murphy

"[Without question] the best done shooting web site on the internet." -- Boyd Allen

"Since I found your site last year I have devoured nearly everything on it. I have been building target and varmint guns since 1981, and 6mmBR is the best source of information I have ever run across." -- Ray Walters

"This website has got to be one of the best on the Internet! I have been considering a 6BR and had a lot of unanswered questions. In short time I found the answer to EVERY question I had about this extraordinary cartridge." -- Glenn

"Great looking site. I can't believe how fast the graphics load even on a dial up when I'm on the road. Better yet it doesn't freeze up my admittedly ancient laptop. Unique, or close to it is all of the information on smiths, barrelmakers, stockmakers, action makers and gadget makers. Even scopes. Even the wildcat forms of the cartridge." -- Rust

"Here's a donation. This is the best site on the www." -- C. Wetherington

"Thank you for the help. This site is by far the best shooting site out there." -- Jon Kujawa

"I have been accessing the 6mmBR.com site frequently over the past 6 months enjoying all the various articles. I even had two 6 BR rifles built by Richard Franklin (I was convinced that [it] would be a great 'hog' rifle). I just picked up the rifles a couple of weeks ago and I'm very happy with the performance. In perusing the site, it appeared to me that someone or some group was contributing great effort as evidenced by the quality of the site. [My] donation was intended, in part, to indicate my appreciation for all the work that goes into maintaining this excellent site.... I feel it is I that owe you folks a thank-you for all your efforts." -- J. DeMeo

"I am new to the 6mmBR/AccurateShooter site and am of the opinion it the best precision shooting site on the net. Great work." -- R. Waugh, Australia

Thank you for all of the great info on your site. I entered and won my first f-class match last weekend shooting a 6BR, without your site I probably would never have considered building a rifle for the caliber that has become my favorite. -- Ben Winget, MN
