3DTotal Advertising
3DTotal Company
Located in the Midlands, in the UK, 3DTotal.com has grown to one of the largest, if not the largest, 3D/CG site on the net. We have an in-house team of 6 full-time artists/journalists at our studios in Worcester and we have an external team of 13 freelancers who create additional content and run the forums.
All this has grown from just 1 artist's idea in 1999 to create a super 3D community site. In the beginning, just a few pages were put online to start the site at the newly registered name of 3dtotal.com. Since this time, the site's growth has been phenomenal - to over 1.5 million monthly users.

How can we offer such a good deal? Well, this is a good question because we do have a very large team of staff, a dedicated UK Studio and the largest CG site on the net to run. The answer is that, unlike the other large CG Sites, we don't rely solely on advertising for our income; we make CDs, DVDs and books of our own, too, which go towards paying for a good proportion of running 3DTotal, enabling us to offer you these excellent advertising rates.
See our company profile and staff page here. Image Left: Our 2 monthly pdf magazines where we show full-page adverts for our sponsors. These large ads, combined with traditional web banner advertising, are working extremely well for sponsors with over 80% renewing each month.
If you would like to advertise in a magazine alone, the cost is $250 per page, per issue. Email to make a booking.

In the past, this has given very good results with this additional promotion being emailed to 17,000+ subscribers - example here. 3.Full banner perfomance stats available. 4.

The sample page on the left shows the placing of the 4 banner spaces which happens on most pages of 3DTotal, such as the homepage.
Scroll down to see an example of a longer content page which has 6 banner placements.
This is an example of a longer content page; about 30-40% of the 3DTotal pages are like this, the remainder are the smaller pages with fewer banner placements.
The content on these pages is very high quality; readers will stay on this page for many minutes noticing adverts as well as content.
Making larger pages like this, as opposed to breaking up articles into many smaller pages, suits the readers and helps you get more value out of your impressions, too.
