I know we’ve been a little quiet on the blog-front lately, so here’s a quick update about where the network is at. We now have just under 900,000 unique users a week across the network. 500,000 of them are de-duplicated according to Nielsen//NetRatings and that number doesn’t include MySpace NZ. We estimate around 750,000 – 800,000 de-duplicated users including MySpace. 

We’ve put together a consolidated rate card across the network, which includes consistent display, email, integrated and performance formats for all AdHub sites. You can access our latest rate card here.

We’ve also pooled our publisher sites into channels; Male, Female, 50+, Entertainment, Retail and News. This allows you to buy much bigger audiences across sites that are linked with common demographic, content or usage themes. Of course you can still buy sites on an individual basis and we’re happy to pull together custom channels that suit your needs. For a comprehensive break-down of our sites and channels – you can download this PDF; adhub_network__channels_presentation08(6.5MB).

Here’s the AdHub March 09 rate-card

We’ve added two more exciting sites to the AdHub network – Voxy.co.nz and Sella.co.nz. Voxy is a premium news, sport, politics and opinions site. On top of great hourly news from the wires, the site also has a growing list of bloggers who contribute their thoughts on the world around them. The site has just over 60,000 monthly users and a 60% male audience.

Sella was born of New Zealand’s demand for a simplified fee structure for listing and selling items online. The site is an online Classifieds and Auction site that is completely 100% free to list and sell items online. Users enjoy a simplified store structure and listing process along with tens of thousands of products for sale online. Monthly users – just over 175,000 with a 67% female audience. 

AdHub now sports an estimated 500,000 unduplicated users per month across the network and an email database of more than 100,000 people. If you’re looking for broad coverage across high quality niche sites or specific audiences and high-profile placements – please get in touch. We currently have a number of sponsorship opportunities on the table:

1. Wine and dining sponsor – MenuMania.co.nz
2. Men’s fashion sponsor – GetFrank.co.nz
3. Home & Garden, plus a Motoring and Marine sponsor – grownUps.co.nz
4. Classic Films sponsor – FLICKS.co.nz
5. Entertainment sponsor – biggie.co.nz

Happy New Year! I hope this post finds you happy, well and not too plump from all the trifle. 

Things are moving fast for AdHub, with many of our sites recording positive growth. Both Flicks and GetFrank saw big increases in unique browsers in December (a trend which is carrying through January).
