Advertising and Sponsorships
I am always open to working with a variety of companies, private individuals, and entrepreneurs to aid in the promotion of family-friendly topics and websites. If you have ever considered working with me to promote your product, brand, or website, please read on for all the necessary information.

Audience Profile:
The majority of my readers are family-oriented and fans of media content directed at that type of viewer. Most are women who have or have had families, and the Hallmark Network is a huge contributing factor.
Advertising Options:
I offer a variety of options when it comes to advertising. While emailing me at ruthaw_1974@yahoo.com is the best way to discuss these options, here is a basic outline.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE I DO OFFER NOFOLLOW OPTIONS BELOW, I CANNOT GUARANTEE ALL OF THESE WILL BE PERMANENT. DUE TO THE FACT THAT GOOGLE OFTEN PENALIZES SITES FOR TOO MANY DOFOLLOW LINKS, AFTER A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THESE LINKS TO NOFOLLOW.
Traditional text/image advertising:
- Family-friendly sites and images only
- Ad will be placed on the homepage (usually in the sidebar) for an agreed-upon price per month or several months. Please email for prices.
- PayPal (ruthaw_1974@yaboo.com) is the accepted form of payment for this service. Direct payment or an invoice is fine–whichever is preferred.
Sponsored/Guest Posts:
- First of all, I am adamant about disclosure. In the past, I have not always disclosed whether something was sponsored or not. I WILL NOT accept posts that require me to hide the fact that I am receiving compensation for publishing posts that include links and promotions.
- All guest/sponsored posts must be about family-friendly topics and only link to family-friendly sites. This excludes (but is not limited to) gambling, pornography, and other such sites. I will maintain final control over what is considered family-friendly.
- Cost is $25 per dofollow link (these are the links that are often preferred by advertisers). Additional nofollow links are acceptable at no additional cost.
- Please understand that unless that this price is non-negotiable due to the amount of clients I have. Please pay via PayPal to ruthaw_1974@yahoo.com
- I also have ultimate placement control. If you request that I publish the post so that it appears on the homepage of my website for a certain period of time, that will require an additional fee that will be negotiated between us. Otherwise, I have the right to place the post on on the best page of my website (not further back than five pages).
Additional opportunities for sponsorship are available. Please email for details.
DISCLAIMER: One of the issues that comes up on occasion is that of whether I endorse every site to which I link whether in advertisements or guest/sponsored posts. Please understand that while I do my best to always link to family-friendly, reputable sites, I cannot endorse everything a reader may encounter on that particular site. There are some ads that I cannot control, but even those that I can control are not foolproof.
For example, if a site links to a service that may be helpful for students and/or parents, while I may find some of the general practices of that particular service acceptable, there are other uses (that may be widely accepted) that I would not feel comfortable endorsing. Therefore, when clicking on a link to any site from my site, please do not expect that everything will be wholesome and uplifting. Feel free to report to me privately (ruthaw_1974@yahoo.com) any of your concerns.
