Advertising on DailyWireless

DailyWireless.org has provided daily, in-depth coverage on the wireless industry since 2002, with over 10,000 in-depth articles now on-line. Our main focus is on WiFi, WiMAX and LTE, but Bluetooth, RF-ID, GPS, satphones, broadcast media, and mobile applications are also covered.

We believe the wireless industry can’t be viewed in isolation — it’s an ecosystem. We look at the big picture and drill down, delivering more eyeballs at less cost than any wireless blog. Period.



Dailywireless skews towards 18-34 yr/old Asian males, with graduate school degrees, earning $100K+, according to Quantcast. Our readers are a highly prized group of technologists and decision makers. We track and contextualize news, providing nuanced, objective coverage in a jargon-free style. The website is updated constantly and features in-depth articles in plain language. Quantcast has additional demographics.

Google’s Ad Planner shows 110,000 pageviews/month (additional stats available on request).

For simplicity’s sake, we calculate all monthly advertising on a flat 70K rate/month.

  • Our flat monthly rate guarantees you’ll get more bang for your buck.
  • If we fail to meet the minimums (as per Google Analytics), we simply extend your exposure to meet an average of 70,000 impressions per month.
  • Everything over 70K page views/month is gravy for you
  • It’s a pretty safe bet.

Advertising rates generally use a cost-per-thousand (CPM). A $10 CPM gets you 1000 impressions for $10. A $10 CPM buy on Dailywireless will get you a 300×250 banner for $700/month (with 70,000 impressions). Here’s a handy CPM Calculator.

Banner advertising on DailyWireless costs $5-$20 CPM (with a big 3 month discount). CPMs cost more on our competitors. We lowered your cost and created a simpler flat-rate — without click fraud worries.
