RF Cafe typically receives 9,000-15,000 website visitors each
weekday and about half that on weekends (see chart). RF Cafe is a favorite of engineers, technicians,
hobbyists, and students all over the world. With more than 12,000 unique pages in
the Google search index, RF Cafe returns in favorable positions on many types
of key searches, both for text and images. New content is added on a daily basis.

NOTE: I reserve the option to refuse ads which I do not feel are appropriate
for the RF Cafe mission.

Website Traffic Trend July - November 2021
Things are looking up for RFCafe.com website statistics. The trend lines for
Page Views, Visits, and New Visits all have a positive slope. I have put a lot of
effort into making pages compliant with Google's "Mobile Friendly" requirements,
so that probably has something to do with it. Also, you may have noticed that I
have been modifying and re-publishing some of the earlier RF Cafe webpages. That
involves updating the narrative, verifying hyperlinks (many go dead over time),
and cleaning up older graphics. Much has changed in expectations from visitors -
especially from the early days in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Competition for
visitors is fierce. As always, thank you for your visitorship and stewardship.

Two plans are available. Please contact me, Kirt Blattenberger, with any
questions.
- Banner Plan: Hyperlinked graphical
Banner Ads in page borders + Highlighted Ad(s) on Vendor Pages + thumbnail
logo in right border | $300/month
- Standard Plan: Hyperlinked
Highlighted Ad on Vendor Pages + text listing in right border |
$40/month
All Banners will be randomly displayed in any of the six (6) page border positions
(see screen capture), so every company's Banner will have an equal chance of appearing.
A random number generator determines which company's Banner Ad will go in a particular
position, and no company's Banner Ad will be displayed in more than one position
for a given page view*. I wrote the PHP code myself and it
is very simple and foolproof.
You provide a pair of industry-standard Banner graphics are needed for page border
impressions - one 160x600-pixel graphic for the vertical format and one 728x90-pixel
graphic for the horizontal format, and also, a 330x400-pixel graphic for the Highlighted
Ad impressions on Vendor pages.
- Contract Length = 3 months
- Price: A flat price of $300 per month is charged, with a standard
3-month term ($900/term).
- Additional Banner Pairs* (up to a maximum of 3) may be
purchased at discount rates to increase the odds that your company's Banner Ad will
be displayed:
- 1 Banner Pair = $300/month
- 2 Banner Pairs = $270/month (-10%) x 2 ($540)
- 3 Banner Pairs = $255/month (-15%) x 3 ($765)
- 4 Banner Pairs = $240/month (-20%) x 4 ($960)
- * Each Banner Pair option adds another set
of Banner Ads (160x600-px and 728x90-px) into the random display engine, thereby
doubling your likelihood of being displayed. Unique Banner Ad designs and hyperlink
URLs can be provided with each additional Banner Pair.
- If your company is a parent to other related companies, the above additional
Banner Pairs can be applied for each company, up to a total of three (3).

meeting the file size, I will be glad to help - there has never been an ad I couldn't

website server statistical analysis is a much better reporter of inbound links from
RF Cafe than I or anyone else can provide.
