Getting listed in search engines is okay, but you need to do more
Why not add some traffic from the world's most popular homeschool site--
currently attracting well over 2 million visits per year? That's
8.5 million pages served and 22 million hits!
IT'S SO EASY!
Just send us a check or your credit card information and fill out the Insertion Form. We will add a link from our site to yours so interested homeschoolers can find you easily. You have two options:
- Your most inexpensive option is our Reciprocal Link. In exchange for you adding a link to us from your home page or links page - perhaps under the heading "Other sites of interest" - you can save $100 or more off the cost of your link. We will to see if the reciprocal link is up after we have received payment and put up your link.
To create an acceptable reciprocal link to Homeschool World, place this HTML text (or similar) on your home page or links page (not buried deep within your site). Feel free to change the descriptive wording slightly as necessary to suit your site's tone:
Other Sites of Interest<br>
<a href="http://www.home-school.com">Homeschool World</a> Lots of good articles about homeschooling, plus access to the latest products, groups, and events, a forum / experts area, and much, much more!
- If you want the traffic to be one-way, people coming from our site to yours but not leaving your site once they get there, you can pay a little extra and have this option. With a Non-Reciprocal Link, you don't have to do any extra HTML programming on your site. Just fill out the form and send us payment.
Your reciprocal or non-reciprocal link will be placed on the relevant page of our Mall area, as follows:
- A visitor clicks on the word "Mall" on our homepage. This takes them to the main page of our Mall.
- On that page, they select one of the Mall Areas (Halls) listed at the top left of this page.
- That jumps them down the page to a list of categories, e.g., General Curriculum, Art, Bible... Visitors can easily browse through all these categories by clicking "Previous" or "Next" at the top of each page.
- Your link will be placed in the relevant category page. Click here to see the General Curriculum category, for instance, or view a list of all the categories in the column to the left. Your link will have your site title as a "hot link" that links directly to your site, plus 15 words of "teaser" ad copy provided by you. This copy is best used not to describe your site in depth, but rather to intrigue the visitor and make him or her curious enough to visit your site.
That's all there is to it!

IF YOU WANT EVEN MORE TRAFFIC...
Try one of our banners or buttons! They're available on a selection of our most-visited pages.
A banner is a large 240 x 60 pixels in size, and placed in the upper right blue area of our page. It can be animated, meaning it changes messages every so often. Here is an example of an animated banner, demonstrating how it shows up against a section of our page header:
This banner is just for demonstration purposes and does not link to anything. For examples of banners in action, visit our homepage or the Curriculum Hall.
A button, on the other hand, is a smaller 139x69 pixels in size. It can be animated. To see some buttons in action, take a look at our home page, in the left margin.
The big advantage of a banner is there is only one per page. It's like owning the corner lot downtown - once you have that space, no competitor can have it. A button is smaller, placed lower on the page, and costs less.
We charge a flate rate for each banner or button placement, based on how much traffic the particular page gets, so you'll always know in advance exactly how much you'll be spending. Also, since we don't rotate buttons or banners from different suppliers in the same spot, as many sites do that offer "pay per view" pricing, people are far more likely to view your banner. And our pages are hand-coded for speed and include no off-site files, so your banner appears much sooner than it would on most other sites. Bottom line: our pages load faster, meaning more visitors and happier visitors!
If you are interested in finding out more about our available banner or button spaces, email banners@home-school.com. Be sure to include your name and company name, address, phone, fax, and web address. Specify whether you'd rather receive a link to an Adobe Acrobat file you can download, or a fax with all the necessary information, including button and banner availability and pricing. We'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you on our site!
