Gun forums for advertising?
« on: July 29, 2011, 07:47:41 PM »
I'm trying to find forums on which I can place banner ads for my site. AR15.com is full up and not accepting new advertisers (and even has a waiting list). GlockTalk never returns emails. I've been bugging Derek at THR.org for the entire month, but no reply.

Does anyone know of any gun forums that get good traffic that sell banner space? Aside from the big ones (THR, TFL, AR15.com, Glocktalk), I don't know what other forums get little traffic or a lot.

Not sure if they sell banners (never noticed), but they have a dealer's section.

In other words, where do we-all go, that has banner ads and lots of traffic.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

TFL does not accept advertising, even from firearms related companies.

Hi, Mike. I know that TFL doesn't accept ads. I mentioned it as an example because it's a fairly high traffic site.

Bear with me for a second.

Facebook.

Their prices are very good, and you can target people in any demographic: age, sex, income, location or by their listed interests.

For example, if you want to create an ad that will be shown to 30-50 year-old males in the United States who have "guns", "shooting", "firearms", "shooting guns" or "hunting" as listed interests, you can do that.

M1911.org ... but it's highly (essentially exclusively) 1911-oriented, so unless you sell a lot of 1911 stuff it probably won't work for you.
