Every day, thousands of people visit TheHoodUp.com to keep up with the current hood talk, contribute to our online community in the forums, read the latest hood news, stay up-to-date with current hood music, and much more. This site targets the hood, so whatever you decide to promote on this site will be widely shared throughout hoods around the world. For an advertiser / promoter, reaching this audience can be very easy and highly cost-effective.
TheHoodUp.com targets a predominantly male audience, but we do have our fair share of females. Our members are mainly from the United State but a significant number of our members are from Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Our members are also largely from urban cultural environments. Our members are very hip to urban trends such as music and fashion. Surveys conducted indicate that the age range of our users is very broad but the average is between 16 and 40. The majority of our user base falls within the 18-30 range however, and it is recommended that what your promote targets that audience. This equates to traffic that can not only understand your message but will also have a much stronger interest in your advertisement / promotion.
Currently, we receive over 200,000 unique visitors per day, and between 250,000 and 300,000 page views daily. We count unique visitors on a 24-hour basis. Visitors who return to the site within 24 hours are not counted towards the unique visitor count and are considered a pageview. Pageviews are actual page impressions, and NOT hits as some sites use.
Over 70% of our traffic is direct type-in traffic, which means that we retain visitors at a very high rate. This type of traffic is great in comparison to a site that receives lots of “fly-by” traffic. Returning visitors mean a loyal member-base who browse a whole site and spend extended amounts of time on that website. Over two-thirds of our audience is a returning visitor which means plenty of time to see and click your targeted promotion. The other one-third of the TheHoodUp.com traffic are our potential members and your potential customers / targets.
We have several locations on our site open to advertisers. Some of these locations include:
* Leaderboard (728×90) These banners are located on the footer of select pages within our forum.
* Banner (468×60): These banners are located on the header of each page and the first post of each page in each thread of the forums.
* Global Anouncement Threads: These are threads that will be located at the top of each section of the forums for maximum views.
We are, of course, open to any and all other options, including co-branding, contests, giveaways, trading text links & banners with other sites, setting up interviews to post on the site, press releases, and much more. Homie rates are in full effect, meaning if you have been a contributing and productive member of this online community for a while you will be charged considerably lower rates compared to others.
