Hi there,
Is there a website you can recommend worth paying for advertising to promote my fonts?
TIA.

    I don't know of one. You could set up your own on Wordpress.

    I think supporting Fonts In Use or Typographica are worthy causes in and of itself, but Stephen I'd be interested in hearing if you have any additional information that might entice sponsors/advertisers. (E.g. Monthly visitors, click-through rate, etc.)

    For what I can see Typographica and Fonts in Use ask for 'sponsorships' but do not offer the possibility of promoting fonts through banners. Am I wrong?

    Now I realize I wasn't seeing many of the banners... because of the ad blocker :smile:

    Yeah, it's interesting to live with the conflict of using an ad blocker yet representing an org who wants to advertise on the web. Not that I blame you! I have used ad blockers too, simply because websites have been so corrupted and cluttered with inconsiderate ads. But I speak from personal experience when I say blockers are really a killer for indie publishers.

    Anyone interested in sponsoring Typographica or Fonts In Use is more than welcome to contact us via the sites. (Here are some of our recent FIU sponsors.)

    We don’t post the ad rates in a forum like this because the traffic figures fluctuate, and the rates and availability of slots are subject to change. We’d also rather have a direct conversation about your needs.
