When planning their Santa Fe vacation, people usually turn to the internet to find lodging. Many of them prefer vacation rental homes over hotels for stays extending more than a weekend, especially given Santa Fe's terrific range of vacation homes available.

Think about those websites offering Santa Fe vacation homes—can there be a better place to deliver your message to distant travelers in the weeks and months leading up to their vacation?

We're pleased to offer a truly unique advertising opportunity to effectively reach these vacationers at an extraordinarily low rate.

We own three "go-to" websites that Santa Fe vacationers visit to select lodging. We are offering to place your text-link-image ad on all three sites for the price of one.

You can change the content of your ad whenever you want, as often as you want, simply by filling out a form, at no additional cost. Think seasonal specials, special events, guest speakers, book signings, and so on. Our "ad feed" technology based on "RSS" makes this all possible; read more about this under "How It Works Using RSS Technology" (below) to learn more.

Your text-link-image ad includes a title (that can link to any webpage you wish) and a body with up to 4000 characters, with an image that is both presented as a thumbnail and opens to full size, and with unlimited hypertext links.

Whenever you or others participating in this advertising system update their ad, people who elect to subscribe to the Santa Fe Ad Feed will receive email notifying them of the new content.

Check out the three websites below. The first two are traditional websites where the Santa Fe Ad Feed is directly displayed on-site. The third one is a "NewsPage" site that presents the Santa Fe Ad Feed along side outr Santa Fe News Feed and offers the viewer the opportunity to subscribe to the feed and sign up for notification email.

The price for this "Three-For-One" offer? Just $10 per month. Contact me now so that you can get started posting your tourist-targeted ad on three Santa Fe vacation-theme websites for the price of one.

Here are actual ads on the Santa Fe Ad Feed for two Santa Fe restaurants. We offer four categories: restaurants, real estate services, art galaries, and "to see and do".

How It Works Using RSS Technology
or call Ken Gorman at 530-249-4401 to discuss this material

Our advertising system is fast and easy to use because it is based on industry-standard "RSS Feed" technology and because we employ an simple editor that makes it "easy-as-email" for you to post ads onto our Santa Fe Ad Feed. Let's look at what all that means to you and viewers of the ads on our ad feed.

What's a feed? A feed is simply a list of items, with each item having a title, a description, and a link to a webpage. Item—ads in this case—are automatically posted to the top of the list from time to time by the publisher of the feed. When you post your ad, you provide a title, description, and link (usually to your website). The feed itself also has a title, description, and a link, with the title and description offering some overall theme to the ads posted on the feed.

What is RSS? "RSS" stand for Really Simple Syndication, and in a nutshell, it represents a set of specifications for feeds such that various "feed readers" can interpret the coded feed file and present it to humans for viewing (just like an email application presents coded email files to you for viewing). The "syndication" part of the name refers to the ability for publishers of websites to syndicate the feed, that is, to present a feed published by others on their own website. Our Santa Fe Ad Feed is syndicated by Run Away To Santa Fe and RunAway GetAway websites mentioned above. And in a sense, our Santa Fe Ad Feed is syndicated by the Santa Fe News "NewsPage" mentioned above.

How do advertisers post their ads? Participants in our 3-for-1 Advertising Program are consigned a spot for their ad on our Santa Fe Ad Feed. Simply click a "shootOnSite" link displayed with the Santa Fe Ad Feed, enter a password we assign, and then proceed to a form to enter the ad title, description and link (which makes the title into a text-link). That's it. After you get familiar with the process, you will find yourself using some powerful options—for example, inserting links within your description and adding a photo to your ad.

How do vacationers find the Santa Fe Ad Feed with your advertisement? And how do they know when new ads are posted? This is where the power of RSS technology comes in, working behind the scenes on your behalf. When a vacationer arrives at one of our websites, they will come across the Santa Fe Ad Feed (as described above). They will be presented approximately 150 of the characters of the ads, serving as a teasers. When they click the "read more..." link for any ad, they are presented with the Santa Fe Ad Feed with the ads in full. And at the top of the page, they are presented with a number of tools for subscribing to the feed and setting up alerts and pings to be notified by email when new items are posted. A link associated with those tools describes the options they have, and instructions are provided along the way. The better written the ads, the more likely vacationers will subscribe or sign up for notification email, meaning your ad updates will reach them, and you will gain viewing loyalty that can translate your ads into customers.
