Site Background

HondaSwap.com is a fast-growing community of Honda/Acura enthusiasts. The majority of our membership is here to ask and share information about parts, motors, and other aspects of making their cars perform better. With tons of technical information and helpful members and staff in the forums, each member can almost always find an answer to their question.

Why Advertise With Us?

There are many Honda/Acura web sites on the internet. When looking to advertise, it is only prudent for one to do so in the most cost-effective manner, all-the-while turning in results. So why us?

• Advertising 101 - Target your audience. If you sell performance parts for a Honda/Acura cars, you'd be hard-pressed to target a better group. We don't want lights and 20's- we want turbo kits, EMS systems, coilover suspensions, and 15x7's
• When it comes to advertising, the less you spend, the more you keep in your pocket. Cost-effective means of advertising are key to making this happen. Some automotive sites charge hundreds of dollars a month for a banner ad buried deep in rotation. Others, you end up paying for clicks or limited impressions and what looks like a good deal ends up serving your ads for 5 days before it's time to renew again. Moreover, you will find that our traffic is on-par to most of the larger Honda/Acura performance web sites. On average, we show roughly 30-40,000 banners a day. The less campaigns we have running, the more your ad gets shown. It is not uncommon for a banner to show 5,000 or even 10,000 times a day!
• Our site is built on standards compliant code and runs top of the line SEO software that has been customized to fit our exact needs. Our search engine referrals are staggering, making up nearly 3/4 of our unique traffic a day (proof below)

Statistics

Why pay more? Our traffic rivals, if not beats, other leading Honda/Acura websites out there, and our rates are either on par or lower than them. Why advertise elsewhere for more money for the same exposure?

We use SiteMeter™, Mint, and Google Analytics to keep track of our real-time statistics. At anytime, you can click on the counter on the footer of every page on our website to view our traffic trends on SiteMeter. 3rd party hosted, no staff member can alter the numbers to make us look better. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words:

We are also listed on http://www.big-boards.com. According to their tracking, we are in the top 100 (as of this writing) of ALL FORUMS based on Daily Unique Users. View our Big Boards page.

Mint also provides some unique datamining and comparison graphs to look at. We installed this software in mid April of 2006, so data before this time is not available. Check out our Mint stats page

The MAJORITY of our daily traffic comes from Google Searches. Here is a screen cap from Google Analytics for May 1 2006 to August 30th, 2006.

While the above data is fairly outdated at this point in time, I haven't found the need to change the image. The traffic percent split is nearly identical today as it was in 2006.
