Let me ask you a few questions:

Are you looking for ways to bring in new customers?

Are you spending too much on print advertising?

Want to try a cheaper and more effective option?

If you answered yes to these questions, then I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't advertise with Newport Discovery Guide!


Why should you advertise with Newport Discovery Guide?

When you advertise with Newport Discovery Guide, you'll reach a targeted audience of locals and visitors alike who search the site for information on the “City by the Sea” on a regular basis.

We have visitors from over 40 countries, including Russia, China, Germany, Canada, Great Britain and Italy.

The site's popularity has increased rapidly since it went live in early 2009, and is on track to surpass many (if not all) of the most popular sites on Newport.

Note: The lower the Alexa Rank # = the more popular the website is

In our first year, we've already become more popular than the City of Newport's official site and the Newport Chamber of Commerce website (see Alexa ranks below for independent verification)!

NewportDailyNews.com Alexa Rank



CityofNewport.com Alexa Rank



DestinationNewport.com Alexa Rank



NewportChamber.com Alexa Rank



What the above traffic rank means is this:

Newport-Discovery-Guide.com already ranks in the top 1% of over 200 million websites worldwide!

Not bad for such a young website!


Why has this site become so popular?

  • This site is created and maintained by a Newport native with a passion for this beautiful, historic city.

  • This site is much more than just a Newport directory. It is updated constantly with personal stories, family photos and inside information that only a native would possess.

  • This site's pages aren't just on-line sales brochures for Newport's attractions and businesses. I give my unique and honest take on many of the best hotels, restaurants, attractions and other things I have experienced.

  • This site uses a special optimization process to ensure that its found at the major search engines for a variety of Newport related keywords.

Visitors and search engines both seem to like the site so far, so I plan on following this formula for years to come.

I hope you'll join me and advertise with Newport Discovery Guide. We'll work together to bring visitors the useful information they're looking for.


Imagine this:

You own a local hotel or bed and breakfast.

A couple living in New York City wants to visit Newport for the weekend. They were here years ago, but can't remember where they stayed. How do you think they're going to go about searching for the perfect Newport hotel or bed and breakfast?

Are they going to look in the Yellow Pages? No.

Are they going to look in magazines or brochures they picked up on their last visit 10 years ago? No.

The way they're going to search for accommodations in Newport is most likely by searching on-line.

So why not list your business on a popular website that is found for countless keywords related to Newport? You'll be much more likely to attract that potential customer if you advertise with Newport Discovery Guide.


Print vs. Internet Advertising

I won't go into boring statistics or details here. Suffice it to say that print advertising is on its way out, and internet advertising is the future.

If we can agree on that, then you'll understand the importance of the following:

  • Newport-Discovery-Guide.com is being found by the major search engines for countless keywords related to Newport. The amount of keywords we're found for and our page rank for those terms is increasing daily.
  • We're even being found for image searches, which is now an extremely popular type of search online. Someone may start out just looking for an image on Google, then all of a sudden they find themselves on your page on our site all because of an image search!
