Great Dance Sponsorship Opportunities

Next month I'll start offering sponsorship and advertising opportunities on Great Dance. If you'd like me to send you the details when they're ready, please email me.

As I write in the blurb in the right-hand column, the Great Dance Blog focuses on topics that relate to dance, technology, the Internet, participatory art-making, emerging sponsorship models and new approaches to building dance audiences. Dancers, presenters, educators and students will find news stories, how-to advice, opinion and analysis about trends and developments that are reshaping the dance world.

Initial advertising opportunities will primarily be in the form of banner ads. In addition, I will soon start doing more audio podcasts featuring dancers and others involved with dance. So there will be opportunities to submit audio sponsorship messages as well.

Editorial and Disclosure Policy

Great Dance offers independent editorial content. If I write about a company or organization for whom I offer Internet consulting or related services, I will disclose this relationship in my post.

Summary Stats for Great Dance

For the benefit of potential sponsors and because I promised this information yesterday, here are the highlights of my traffic stats for February 2007:

Total User Sessions: 13,346
Total Pageviews: 24,297
Average Pageviews Per Session: 1.82

I always find the referral log interesting. These are top 20 sources from which I generate traffic. I obviously like Google! You'll notice toward the end that there are 2 dance blogs: imagesdedanse.over-blog.com and thewinger.com.
