Advertise with Verdict

The Verdict sites -- DVD Verdict, TV Verdict, and Cinema Verdict -- provide quality entertainment content to more than 500,000 unique visitors per month consuming in excess of four million pages of content. Our insightful and often irreverent reviews are recognized industry wide, and our up-to-date coverage of news, special events, and talent interviews has grown by leaps and bounds since relocating our home office to Santa Monica, CA.

We've found our readership to be very discerning when it comes to advertising. These are highly educated, entertainment consumers who don't want to be distracted or bothered by irrelevant campaigns for mortgage brokers, dating services, or whack-a-mole games in the form of pop-ups, pop-unders, floaters, interstitials, or contextuals. But give them banner ads, video clips, or trailers for upcoming films, television series, or home entertainment products and watch them go to town. In DVD purchases alone over the past year, our readers have invested nearly $500,000; a number which has grown by more than 20% over each of the past five years, with 2007 seeing a 30% gain.

As you can see from the breakdown below (updated August 2008), the majority of our readership is college educated, middle income, white males in the 18-49 age bracket with no children. The highest concentration of readers can be found in the US, specifically in California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida, but are also well represented in both Canada and Great Britain. The one other interesting note is that we also seem to cater to a large segment of the Asian-American population.

We currently offer 300x250 advertising opportunities on our three respective home pages, 468x60 ads on our Daily Newsletter, and 160x600 ad space on our popular Upcoming Releases page and Cover Art gallery, weekly Contest page, and a treasure trove of more than 14,000 archived reviews. We've also recently begun offering 30 and 60 sec audio ads on our podcast -- DVD Verdict Presents -- with three weekly shows (Mon, Wed, Fri) and more than 200 archived episodes.

Our goal is to create a customized ad experience for each of our clients. This can range from basic weekly or monthly ad buys, to sponsorships, live commercials, product giveaways, and exclusive content. The choice is yours.
