Baseball

“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.

Culture and Criticism

From Norman Mailer to Wendy Pepper — everything on film, TV, books, music, and snacks (shut up, raisins), plus the Girls’ Bike Club.

Donors Choose and Contests

Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

Stories, True and Otherwise

Monologues, travelogues, fiction, and fart humor. And hens. Don’t forget the hens.

Anything unclear? Need more info? Want to try something that’s not listed here? Just ask!

A quick preview: in May 2011, 28,200 unique visitors came to the site (three-month average: 31,000 uniques), and created over a million pageviews. 91% of TN readers are ladies (although they may not be lady-like; you’d have to ask ’em); 53% are in their 30s; 80% live in a city of more than 50,000 people; 31% make more than $75,000 a year; 22% have at least one child, and 65% have at least one pet; 70% enjoy an alcoholic beverage at least once a week; 82% watch at least one movie a week; and 99% shop online.

Blogroll placement: $60/month, $600/year

Text link(s): $16/month, $180/year for up to 3; 4-6, $30/month, $330/year
You can place a text link in any story. Use existing text, or provide a framing sentence or two.

Dedicated story: $50/one-time, $100/month
A dedicated story is a headline or feature story that appears above the fold — in other words, the main story (headline) or one of the four stories beside it (features). A sponsorship of one of these spots runs with a graphic as well as text, which you can write yourself or let me put together for you, and guarantees exposure to homepage visitors.

If you select a one-time sponsorship of this type, you can expect to see the ad above the fold for about one week; after that, it will rotate down through the homepage content, and be removed when it falls off the homepage.

If you select a monthly buy, the ad will remain above the fold (space permitting*) for the duration of your buy, and be removed at or around midnight ET on the last day.

Exclusive dedicated story: $125/one-time, $250/month
Your dedicated-story ad is the only one of its type on the homepage for the duration of your buy. (Limit 6 months.)

Other ad runs: cost TBN
You can sponsor a month of Vine letters; you can sponsor baseball-related content only; you can place links on the most-commented pages, or on popular pieces from the archives; anything you want to try, we can discuss.

I’d love to work with you. Drop me a line to talk about your product, service, and/or sponsorship fantasy at bunting at tomatonation dot com.

 

*If space is a concern for a dedicated-story ad, you’ll be alerted when we discuss your sponsorship.

    I like the hint at a correlation between our enjoyment of adult beverages and online shopping habits. I, for one, find it much easier to buy a bathing suit online after I’ve had a drink (…or two).
