Lawyerist.com advertising options

Lawyerist offers three distinct options for marketing your products or services to our readers and forum members:

1. Display advertising

We currently offer banner ads in four highly-targeted locations on Lawyerist.com. (Ad impressions will be displayed on the blog and the forum.)

• Ad Position 1 (Leaderboard), a 728×90 banner at the top of the site
• Ad Position 2 (Sidebar1), a 300×250 medium rectangle at the top of the sidebar
• Ad Position 3 (Sidebar2), a 300×250 medium rectangle in second position in the sidebar
• Ad Position 4 (HalfPage), a 300×600 half-page ad in third position in the sidebar

Banner ads are $15 CPM for all positions, with a $500 minimum purchase. CPM means “cost per thousand impressions.” In other words, 100,000 impressions at 10 CPM would cost $1,000.

We accept ads in JPG, PNG, and GIF, in the above sizes. We do accept tasteful animations, but if you plan to animate your ad, please consult with us beforehand.

2. Sponsored posts

Want to get your post on the front page of Lawyerist.com? Sponsored posts are published just like any other post on Lawyerist.com, and they become a part of the archive. Just like regular posts, sponsored posts are automatically published to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Sponsored posts must be purchased on packages:

• 3 for $1,500
• 6 for $2,900
• 9 for $4,300
• 12 for $5,700

For examples of sponsored posts, check out our previous sponsored posts.

All links in sponsored posts will be rel=nofollow.

3. Sponsored emails

Our sponsored emails give you access to our list of 13,000+ opt-in subscribers with an average open rate of 23.3%, and an average clickthrough rate of 7%. Here’s how it works:

1. Your message will be the focus of our weekly email newsletter. That means you get the subject line and the featured content within our email. (We can provide examples of recent sponsored emails.)
2. You must give away something of value to our subscribers. Typical giveaways include white papers or video seminars. You will need to share your giveaway with us beforehand, and it must be actually-valuable, not just a warmed-over sales pitch.)
3. You may require our subscribers to exchange an email address for your giveaway, or to complete a short form or survey.
4. We will help you craft your message to help you achieve the best results.
5. You pay $5/click on the link you provide, measured after 1 week.
