Advertising Disclosure and Policy
A business is not sustainable, unless it both gives value to the community, and receives value in return.
Sustainable Baby Steps is an informational site. It is here to provide readers with valuable information and inspiration on going green free from any costs to use this site, other than the costs of products we offer.
I accept advertising on this site in the form of newsletter sponsors, in-line text ads and affiliate links (you can read more about these last two at the bottom of the page).
These sponsors and ads support the continuation of this website by bringing in value and help to keep this valuable information we offer available to readers.
I'm very commited to bringing readers the best information on sustainability possible and this commitment extends to my advertising policy.
- No greenwashing
- No unethical business practices
- No compromises
All sponsors meet my high standards for sustainable practices, including safe and renewable resources, ethical business practices and a commitment to environmentally sound practices. Read more about my advertising policy and disclosure below.
Interested in Advertising?
Do you provide an eco-friendly service or product and are interested in getting your business information out to thousands of intelligent, thoughtful customers?
Sustainable Baby Steps is a website, not a blog. Its organized layout creates more page views and because it's not just a "feed", no info gets pushed down and lost. All pages continue to rank high and be shared widely and readers are substantially more engaged.
This means more traffic for you.
As of February 29, 2011 Sustainable Baby Steps is showing an average 200+% growth in the past several months, and currently shows:
- 51,095 page hits a month
- A 15% increase in Facebook fans (1200+ likes), Twitter (400+ followers)
- A 400% increase in newsletter subscribers in recent months!
The majority of readers are female, and have families with growing or grown children. Traffic sources include referrals from other websites and blogs, social media sites, search engines and the mysterious "other".
Advertising Options
Newsletter sponsors are featured in that month's newsletters, with a 160x160 ad, a paragraph written by you on your website's information, a website link and up to three social media or other links. Newsletter ads are more targeted as they go straight to the reader's inbox, meaning you get better exposure to a thoughtful and intelligent audience.
You are guaranteed to be shared in one newsletter that month, however most months consists of more than one newsletter. You will be shared in each newsletter that is not promoting a product or service of our site.
