Advertise on Consuming Louisville

I absolutely love running this site and try very hard to keep it full of interesting, useful information. I spend quite a bit of time digging up information, writing, dreaming up and producing original content for the site and thinking of ways to make it better. This I do because I love Louisville and sincerely want Consuming Louisville to be an asset for the city. I want to help people find cool things to do, great restaurants to eat at and great art to buy among other things.

All of that is a preface to saying that the Google AdSense ads I run on the site are doing ok for me in terms of offsetting some of the costs (both actual and time spent) of the site I'd really love to get rid of them. No, I'm not looking to ditch ads completely. What I am looking to do is replace the current ones with ads from local businesses or national companies that are specifically focusing on Louisville or the region. To put another way: I'd like the ads I'm running to actually be of interest to the audience. If the ads are of greater potential interest to the audience then they're much more useful to both the audience and the advertiser.

So if you have a local business or artistic venture I'd like to urge you to consider advertising on Consuming Louisville. The rates are reasonable, the audience intelligent (just look, you're reading it) and geographically targeted.

Thanks for your consideration,
Michelle
