Advertise on This Site

Sacred Destinations is supported by relevant text ads from a variety of advertisers, who reach our audience of over 360,000 visitors per month. These visitors are specifically interested in travel, history, archaeology, pilgrimages and/or spirituality. Would you like to see your ad on our articles that are directly relevant to your product, service or destination? Read on for some advertising options.

Google AdWords

One popular way to advertise on Sacred Destinations is to join the relevant text ads that appear on all pages, which are served by Google based on the content of the page. Here's how: On the Campaign Summary page, choose "site-targeted" in the "Create a new campaign" section near the top of the page. Enter "www.sacred-destinations.com" as the website on which you want your ads to appear. You can choose your daily budget, targeted audience, and a whole lot more. Then, usually within minutes, your ad will appear among the Google text ads at the top of relevant articles on Sacred Destinations.

Direct Advertising

We also offer direct advertising for even more prominent and customizable visibility. If your product or service is relevant to our visitors, your text or image ad can appear on the related page of your choice. Advertising rates are very reasonable and depend on the position and type of ad. Payment is very simple - a monthly flat fee via PayPal e-mail invoice, which can be paid in any currency.

The primary direct advertising options are:

Text link and description under "Travel Resources" on any city page - $5 per month
Prominent text ad embedded in an article as shown on this sample page - $10 per month
Embedded ad as described above, but including an image - $15 per month

If you buy advertising (in any format) for 12 months or more in advance, you get one month free. We're open to other placements as well, so let us know if you have specific requests.

Please note that in order to keep Google happy with our website, we must use special code (rel="nofollow") that prevents paid links from passing PageRank along. So our ads will bring lots of visitors to your website, but not any benefit to your position in search engine results.

Please contact us at webmaster@sacred-destinations.com for more information or to set up your ads.

Spiritual Tours Directory

Do you provide a guided tour, retreat or pilgrimage to sacred sites? Reach travelers looking for just this kind of tour by adding your listing to our Spiritual Tours Directory. Listing is subject to approval and a small fee of $5 per tour per month, just enough to cover the cost of maintaining your listings. For this rate your tour will be listed on at least two pages - under both the relevant country(ies) and category(ies). We will create a new country or category page if a relevant one does not already exist.

Payment is via PayPal e-mail invoice, which can be paid by PayPal account, credit card, or bank account. You can choose to commit just a month at a time, or order as many months as you'd like ahead of time. If you order a listing for 12 months or more, you get one month free. If you have many tours to list, bulk discounts are available.

To add your tour to the directory, simply e-mail webmaster@sacred-destinations.com with the following information:

E-mail address for sending the invoice
Title of tour
Link (URL) to the tour's webpage
Brief description of tour
Price of tour
