AAR at a Glance:

All About Romance was the romance destination of choice for more than 4 million unique visitors in 2008 who viewed more than 18 million pages throughout the year. No other romance Web site can match our traffic – or our growth. (Click here for a graph of our growth since 2002.)

Our readers are of all ages and demographics, but they have one thing in common: Every visitor to AAR is looking for great romance books to buy. In fact, in our 2005 reader survey, we discovered that more than half of our readers spent at least $250 buying romances, with nearly a quarter of them spending $500 or more.

At surprisingly affordable rates, ads at AAR will receive a minimum of 50,000 impressions per month - and very likely more.

About AAR:

AAR is recognized in the mainstream media as a leading authority on romance. We’ve been graded A- by Entertainment Weekly and been highlighted in feature articles in Salon.com and on CBC radio, along with numerous books, academic works, and, of course – Wikipedia.

AAR is highly interactive with five active forums open 24/7, generating discussions that reverberate across the Web and across the media.

With 7,000 pages of unique content, no other site can come even close to matching our variety, depth, and sensibility.

Advertising Options:

We offer two types of advertising at AAR:

1. AAR Banner Ads:  Two different size ads receive prominent placement throughout the site.  Click here for our banner ad specs.

2. Advertising at the new AAR News and Commentary Blog and at AAR After Hours, AAR's off topic blog: This affordable option offers book-sized ads that appear in a highly visible location on each blog's home page.  In its first month, the AAR News and Commentary Blog received 30,000 page views, making it a popular reader destination in just a few short weeks. Traffic at the established AAR After Hours Blog currently averages nearly 70,000 page views per month.  With the audience for both blogs growing daily, this option offers you a unique – and especially affordable – way to reach AAR readers.

We also offer our clients the benefit of professional design services and copywriting.   These services are priced far, far below those charged in the general marketplace.

Pricing & Payment:

Our advertising rates are at least 50% lower than other general Web sites with similar traffic levels.  Current prices are guaranteed only through March 2009.

It’s important to note that the monthly rate at our biggest romance Web site competitor - the Web site for a well-know print publication - is more than twice the rate of advertising at AAR for a full year when applying their rates to our level of traffic.
