Our Circulation

For over 12 years we’ve provided our Sponsors the ability to connect with potential customers beyond the bounds of print media. With more than 115,000 unique visitors per month BajaInsider including social media sites, with a confidence rating by our readers of an astounding 96%, two numbers that any print publication in Baja would dream of attaining. Our readers visit an average of 5 pages each visit, so they may come looking for information on whale sharks and end up purchasing a vacation activity, a business service or real estate from our Sponsors.

Old fashion print publications can provide the number of issues printed or circulated but they never can tell you how many or what pages have been read. The BajaInsider provides our Sponsors with a precise number of how many visitors we enjoy, how many have read their Sponsored page and how many move forward to make contact through phone call email or website.

Email Subscriptions

Our Insider Updates are a potent tool for our Sponsors, putting leaders to their Sponsored information, new stories and tropical weather alerts in the inbox of almost 10,000 subscribers. BajaInsider Updates deliver far better results than a direct email campaign, with more than 80% open rate – That is FOUR TIMES industry standards for travel or lifestyle direct email. Our email list is an active double opt-in list, purged of dead addresses, sent to readers who anxiously await the next edition to arrive. We respect the privacy of our subscribers and do not sell or trade our list as it is only accessible through our Insider Updates to Content Advertising Sponsors.

How it Works

BajaInsider is an informational advertising platform for business seeking to expand their reach those with the special interests of living and traveling Baja. Whether your product is in Baja or would be useful to folks who have an interest in living or traveling in Baja, we can help you to reach them. In many cases the BajaInsider's site weight and ranking can get your message recognized by the search engines faster and rank higher than your own site. A majority of our Sponsors begin receiving results in the first 48hrs and a link from our site to yours can improve your site's search engine ranking.

Content Advertising

Our most effective weapon is our Content Advertising which provides you the space and flexibility to tell the whole story of your business, with up to 1000 words, photos and video.  Each Sponsored article contains a direct link to your site, phone listings and an email address. When a potential customer clicks through to your site they are more informed and pre-qualified for you to close the sale, delivering results that a few words in a pay-per-click ad cannot. We encourage our Sponsors to make a soft sell, demonstrating the experience unique to their product or service. This technique draws the reader in to read the entire article so when they clicking through; they are "Fish-on!"

Our Sponsors are encouraged to submit non-advertorial content as well that we publish for free with links to their site that provides an additional way to qualify the Sponsor and educate or entertain potential clients

Content Ads are featured in rotation on our front page and new articles will appear in our BajaInsider Updates at least 3 times in 90 days. Getting results for our Sponsors is our focus, and if it is determine your campaign is not getting the kind of response we hoped for, we can adjust the volume, change content, banners and frequency in the BajaInsider Updates. Something print publications just can't do.

Banner Advertising

Banner advertising is included in Content Advertising packages, and our clients receive about 10,000 ad views per month. Banner advertising is also available separately to Sponsors with a more limited budget or looking to establish branding. Our Content Advertising clients receive 10%-17% of their BajaInsider referred site traffic from banner advertising.
