WHY ADVERTISE WITH GoNOMAD.com?

People plan trips based on ideas they read about and friends they talk to. Articles on GoNOMAD are very quickly indexed on Google, so they show up as results in searches for places and activities.

If you want to judge whether GoNOMAD is a good place for your company to advertise, consider the companies already advertising here:

Swiss Tourism
Air New Zealand
Mass Tourism
Japan Airlines
Avis
La Quinta Hotels Maine Tourism Expedia
Delta Airlines
DK Eyewitness Guides
United Airlines JetBlue
Palm Springs Tourism


and hundreds of others.

Your travel business benefits by being on GoNOMAD. We are a well regarded travel content site where people's travel ideas are born.

Attracting Visitors to Your Website

Travel magazines still have a role to play in the industry and some large metropolitan newspapers still have travel sections, but very few travel businesses would survive for long if they depended on print media to attract customers.

On the Web: an internet user does a search for information about the Canary Islands (or some other destination), goes to GoNOMAD and sees a link to a hotel or a tour company, and then visits their website.

GoNOMAD's advertising is especially effective because we start with a base of "self-selected" travelers. More than 80 percent of Americans, for example, have never obtained a passport and probably never will, so travel businesses looking for customers have to target the 20 percent (or fewer) who are actually going to travel.

Narrowing the Field

The viewers who see your ad on GoNOMAD have already shown they are interested in traveling, and in many cases they have already shown that they are interested in traveling to a particular destination. This narrows the field very precisely, so you get a maximum return on your advertising dollar.

As an alternative travel website GoNOMAD is especially effective at attracting customers who are interested in sus

tainable travel and participatory travel that allows them to experience the culture of the destination they're visiting in a way that benefits the community and the environment. We also draw many travelers who are interested in the rapidly growing fields of adventure travel and women-only travel.

You simply have to have a website, an attractive one, and you probably paid a substantial amount of money to design and update it. So now what? Do you sit and wait for people to come and find you?

There are two ways of attracting visitors to your website: traditional advertising and search engine optimization (SEO).

GoNOMAD is in Good Company

Look at the ads on this page, the large display ads are served by our advertising agency, the Travel Ad Network. This network of more than 50 large and mid-sized travel websites publishes millions of pageviews of ads, and GoNOMAD has been with them since the very beginning.

If you want to judge whether GoNOMAD is a good place for your company to advertise, consider the companies who already advertise: Swiss Tourism, Air New Zealand, Mass Office of Tourism, Japan Airlines, La Quinta Hotels, Expedia, DK Eyewitness Guides, Palm Springs Tourism and dozens more.

They know we're a reliable source of top quality, fact filled information, and that's the travel market people are looking for. They want information, recently published news, and reports about where they might go for their next big trip.

Partnerships

 
Visit our booth at the Boston Globe Travel Show Feb 20-21, 2010 Seaport Convention Center Boston!

This year GoNOMAD again exhibited at the biggest travel show in the US, the New York Times Travel Show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center and we have signed on to do this show again February 7-11, 2010 for our third year.

Our editors shared a podium and a lively stage presenting a forum about travel writing and how to get into the business. At the Boston Globe Travel Show, editor Max Hartshorne entertained a packed room for a presentation on search engine optimization for the travel business.

We have partnered with the New York Times because this is the finest and most prestigious travel event of the year, and there we hope to meet many travelers and tourism board representatives who will network with our staff and with more than 30,000 show visitors. This is the kind of partnership that yields great exposure and benefits for anyone in the travel business.

We are looking into doing more with travel video and currently have our editors appear on several national travel radio shows. We would like to develop our own radio and television shows, and are looking for the right people to help us make this happen.

GoNOMAD.com is looking for win-win, strategic partnerships and opportunities to work together with like-minded organizations. Please contact us for more information. If you have a travel content website and would like to work with us, please contact us by email or phone.
