The Forum gets around 4,000 unique visitors per month, with an average of 135,000 page views per month. That is more than 50x as many as the Online Business Link does for the Northern Echo. Banners will be displayed on the main index page, as well as every other page loaded. Banner ads will be rotated on a random basis. The site is also extensively indexed in Google, so we have traffic coming in from specific subject searches too. These could all lead to your company banner link being seen.
