Benefits

Gearspace doesn’t run tacky ‘network’ ads or text only adsense ads so your banners will never sit on the same page as ads for ‘payday loans’, gambling, or buy a bride ads. Our visitors aren’t retargeted from previous web searches for household goods or car parts. Gearspace is a hyper relevant audience for pro audio products and all our ads are strictly pro audio specific.

Got questions on how best to get your products message across? We are here to advise on how manufacturers and vendors can participate out in the forum. How you can run competitions, new product alerts, reviews, what targeting options to try.

Traffic

Having started back in 2002 the ever growing user generated content of over 13 Million+ posts in over 1 Million+ discussions make a huge SEO ‘footprint’ for search engines. Links to discussions on Gearspace frequently appear on page one of Google search results for recording equipment, sometimes higher on the page than its manufacturer! We have 400,000+ registered members and at peak times we can have over 17,000 visitors looking at our pages within a 45 minute period. Our banner ads and product page buy now buttons combined send a total of over 22,000 clicks to advertisers sites per month.

User Base

The site’s visitors are from all over the world: studio owners, professional engineers, producers and self-recording musicians. While the audience of Gearspace has a 70% North American bias, there is a very strong international presence. This represents a unique global platform for your product. Gearspace is the place to announce new products on a global stage!

Product Database

In 2014 we started cataloguing new and old pro audio equipment into our Gear Database. We can detect product name matches within forum discussions and turn those into underlined hyperlinks, linking off to what we call our ‘product pages’. On our product pages we curate and display the following types of info about a product. a Photo, a Video, a brief description, links to reviews, we display the most popular post about the item, links to see more discussion threads discussing the product and importantly, where to buy the product. The concept of the Gear Database is that forum readers can, at any time while reading forum content, click to get more info on the products being discussed.

Manufacturer participation is free, with an optional paid, permanent banner on product pages linking viewers to the manufacturers websites. We encourage manufacturers to supply us with their product name data, brief descriptions, images and YouTube video links. If it’s being talked about… … why not link it? Help us promote your products!

Vendor participation is on a paid or affiliate basis so please call for more information. We can display a link on all our product pages of your inventory that will take visitors directly to the product on your sales pages. These are very engaged potential customers.

Competitions

As an advertiser we can work with you to help run competitions and give-away initiatives with our dedicated competition section. We like to see a minimum prize fund of $1,500 and we gift you additional banner ad inventory to the value of the prizes to help promote it. We also use social media to blast out news on our Twitter and Facebook fan pages.
