What are our advertisers saying?

Here are some of the things advertisers have been saying about us lately:

“The $500 monthly CPM program has proven to be cheaper than Google AdWords”

— Rick, Dungeon Delights

“FetLife is my homepage. It's the first thing I check when I get online. That's why I advertise with them.”

— Dave Mack, The Bondage Channel

“What better way to quickly and efficiently reach a highly targeted audience of kinksters and fetish folk than through the massively popular FetLife social networking website? Taking out an ad is a breeze, and the FetLife advertising team is a pleasure to work with.”

— Dave, Cherry Red Report

“At every event I attend, all I hear about is FetLife. Everyone who walks past my booth is talking about FetLife. It is the place to advertise to reach the kinky community. FetLife smokes Google AdWords.”

— Victor Tella, SnakeWhip

“FetLife is an ideal place to advertise events, because their targeted ads can reach exactly who you need to, with no wasted clicks spent on people too far away.”

— Jsin, STL3

“I love advertising on Fetlife because there it is a very targeted and cost effective way to reach people in the kink community. I like the fact that I only pay per click, which means I know I am getting value for my advertising dollar, and that is very important as I need to stretch my advertising budget as far as possible. I have been advertising Cirque De Boudoir events on Fetlife since June 2008 and consider Fetlife as the primary website for fetish related promotions.”

— Davide, Cirque de Boudoir

“Being an independent website operator, with Maya, we are dependent on effective forms of advertising to drive traffic. FetLife has been well worth, time and money. I heartily endorse advertising with FetLife.”
