Cybersocket's 2013 Printed Gay Net Directory! :)

Hello Everyone,

So we are starting on the 2013 Gay Net Directory. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the directory. The Directory is a printed resource that we give to consumers. We print about 30,000 copies. The directory is given out at Pride Celebrations, Consumer events that we sponsor ETC. The directory has full page reviews that focuses on online adult sites, blogs, and mobile sites. We heard rave reviews from many of you about the layout of the 2012 directory. So we plan to keep that same format. :)

The price for a full page listing in the directory is only $95 :-D

For those of you I already work with. I will be contacting you about the directory. If you have not heard from me yet. Please shoot me an email.

For the people I don't know. Please feel free to email me if you would like to know more about the directory.

Here is what a full page listing looks like. This listing was for Randy Blue last year. :)

wow that's low for some very 'high profile" visual exxxposure though putting my Escort Ad in the Publication might be a bit much considering I'd have to be at all the events with Phone and then there's trying to service 30,000 People in a 24 Hour period ... might have to do a couple "groups!" - LOL

I keep forgetting your with CYBERSOCKET ... I just like You for You! :) , good luck with this and a bump for interest!

Is this only for paysites or can blogs and review sites buy a page (or two, or three...)?

It is not just for paysites and blogs and review sites would certainly be welcome and of interest to the readers I'm sure! We have advertised our sites in the Gay Net Directory since it's inception.

Just to clarify -- this is given out to potential members/surfers, and not just a resource for Webmasters, correct? Also, any of 2012's left over ... I was hoping someone would grab me one at Phoenix this year, but I think they forgot.

Its for consumers. A good book to have to flip through and find your niche and get a review of the site :)

there maybe one hidden in the office..... maybe if you sent me your address I could arrange to have one sent to you. ;) but only cause someone failed on getting you one LOL

I will shoot you an email :) We do have ads in the directory. the first 4 pages are ads. the last 4 pages are ads. but the main core of the book is all listings. (the pic i posted at the top is what a listing looks like) all listings are full page, on glossy color paper. :)

the deadline were trying to shoot for is August/September. We are trying to give ourselves some lead way so that we can make sure all reviews are finished. The 2013 directory comes out at the 13th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards. A consumer event held in Los Angeles in early January :)

Another question comes to mind: as a blogger, if a screenshot is used of my site it would include photos from sponsors I promote so would that be a problem... using the photos without their permission? Or should I buy some content and then create a mock screen grab? Or not use a screen grab at all and just use my logo? What have other bloggers/free sites done?

I don't want to say no, it wouldn't be a problem. I would figure the companies that you are driving traffic towards, would be happy to see you promote your site (which in doing so could lead to potential business for your sponsors) But It would probably be smart to just double check with those companies. But worse come to worse, we can always work with you to make sure the screen shot we use is one you approve of :)

If I were a blogger I'd have the screen shot be of my best post and then get email confirmation from the sponsor making sure it'd be OK. Easiest way to figure out best post is checking referrers in NATS and seeing which sent the most sales. That would protect the bloggers butt and have a screen shot that should grab readers attention.

Personally I wouldn't worry about a banner appearing in the screen shot but would probably want to get permission from that sponsor as well since you're already out there getting it.
