Advertise on Beer Guide Australia

Are you interested in getting your product or service in front of a large, and passionate audience who are interested in Beer, Homebrew, Breweries and Tours, Technology and the Internet? Beer Guide Australia has a couple of perfect sponsorship opportunities available.

Banner Advertising

Beer Guide Australia currently accepts a variety of Banner Advertisements including unique placements within the main site, our Forums and our Article pages (or Blog). Each of these sections is the perfect network for reaching Beer, Brewing and Homebrewing professionals and consumers.

We offer two paths for advertising - Shared Sponsorship and Exclusive Sponsorship. Please see below for rates and more information.

Shared or Exclusive Sponsorship

Shared sponsorship will place your advertisement into a pool of sponsors and your ad will be served in a round-robin fashion. The pool will never consist of more then 5 sponsors at any one stage and no priority will be placed on one sponsor over another, we only offer priority sponsorship on our Exclusive Sponsorship deal.

Exclusive sponsorship will provide your organisation with exclusive rights to all sponsorship sections at Beer Guide Australia. Your logo or advertisement will be shown across all three main areas of Beer Guide Australia (main site, forums and blog/s). There will be no other sponsors shown during the period that you or your organisation holds exclusive rights.

Advertisement Placement Options

Main Site - Left Column

The primary sections of the site, including the Beer Reviews and Brewery information pages use a 160 x 600 resolution vertical banner. This placement will provide you with the most exposure based on current statistics for your service or product.

The area in question is highlighted in blue within the image to the right of this paragraph.




Forums - Upper Screen

The forums utilise a wide horizontal style banner of a 728 x 90 resolution. The section is displayed at the top of the screen directly below the 'Member Functions Bar' and is highly visible to all users on the Forums. This section is exposed to a lesser number of visitors, however has a higher screen placement for higher visibility.

Articles/Blogs - Upper Screen

As with the forum placement the Articles use a 728 x 90 pixel resolution banner area. It too is displayed at the top of the screen for higher visibility. This section currently holds the least number of visitors, however the Articles are tied in with the articles posted on the Homepage allowing for a more targetted advertising approach.
