Chamber Website Hot Links and Website Advertising

The Homer Chamber of Commerce website receives an average of over 10,000 Monthly Unique Visitors!

These are people looking to see what Homer has to offer, and it is your chance to tell them about your business. You can speed up the connection between the Chamber website and your business by making your website address a "hot link" under your free and additional category listings and by advertising on the Chamber website. These services are available to Primary Business & Multiple Primary Business Chamber members only.

Website Hot Links

Eligible members who purchase a website "hot" link, must have their website address listed as one of their three contacts for published materials (members indicate this on their membership application form or renewal form or by contacting the Chamber).

Website addresses are made "hot" on the Chamber website within two weeks of receiving your payment.

Website Hot Links are available for purchase separately for each additional category listing that you may have.

Cost

The cost of the website "hot" link is $50 per category listing/per membership year for full membership year (October 1 to September 30).

 

Website Advertising

Advertise to 10,000 Monthly Unique Visitors!

Primary Business & Multiple Primary Business members* are now able to advertise on the Chamber website. There are a limited number of spaces and pages on which advertising is allowed. Advertising is purchased per quarter based on a lottery system. Additional information and important deadlines are outlined in the website advertising brochure and in the following sections.

  • Members may choose to hot link their advertisements at no additional charge.

    *For Primary Business & Primary Multiple Business members:

    1. who's office is physically located outside the Greater Homer Area (Anchor Point south to Across Kachemak Bay) and/or
    2. who provide services in multiple geographic areas and
    3. their business operates in, leaves from, or is accessed from Homer,

    their website "Hot Link" must link to the Homer page of their website. The "Homer Page" of a member's website is defined as a page on a member's website that specifies the services the business provides in the Greater Homer Area. For Example: A fishing charter primary member who has charter boat trips leaving from both Kenai and Homer must either:

    1. Link to the page on their website that is specifically about their boat trips in Homer or
    2. link to a "landing page" that directs them to the page on their website that is specifically about their boat trips in Homer.
  • Ads are positioned in 3-, 4-, and 5-ad configurations.
  • A total of three ads will rotate in each position.
  • Web advertising is available to Primary Business and Multiple Primary Business members only.
  • Members choosing to advertise on a category page must advertise on the main (free) category associated with their membership or on the non-category pages outlined below.
  • Businesses are selected quarterly based on a lottery process; members may submit one lottery application per quarter. Please see the schedule of deadlines below.
