By any scorecard, our sponsors are winners and are making their power play by advertising here at CMSReport.com. Sponsorship helps pay for the bills we receive from our hosting company and internet service provider. Without sponsorship, niche sites like this one simply wouldn't be able to host the content we do debt free.

Across the globe, this was definitely another challenging year for business. Budgets are tight and more than likely the money you've set aside to advertise your business creates its own challenges. You have two choices, spend your money on an expensive advertisement campaign or spend your money wisely with banner placement at target niche websites focused on content management and website development. We, of course, hope you consider CMS Report as part of your winning ad strategy.

While this is the time for trick-or-treat, most businesses and web developers I know don't want to be distracted by those knocking at their door that may or may not the real deal. This is one of the reasons I've always been selective on which companies I allow to become sponsors here at CMS Report. For Halloween, I'll allow my son to dress up as Darth Maul, but if you're selling me products you better be dressed up in quality services and quality products. 

Our sponsors are the visitor at your door, ready to have a serious adult conversation about meeting your content management needs. Acquia, Sitecore, Contegro, Accrisoft, Jahia, Contensis, JomSocial, Sourcecoast, Stackideas, and Telerik...all amazing companies that I think you should take a look at.

CMS Report continues to provide great content on a wide variety of content management related topics. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, you can purchase banner space at this site through BuySellAds. For those times that we have sold out on our banner space, BuySellAds does offer sponsors the ability to put themselves on a waiting list to advertise on our site.

CMS Report wants to thank our current sponsors for their support.

CMS Report is going to turn it up a few notches in the weeks ahead and whether you're a reader or a sponsor...I think you're going to really like the changes that are about to take place here at this site.

Our July sponsors deserve a round of applause. Sites such as ours often see a lighter traffic traffic to our sites during the summer months. Our sponsors know this well, yet have been more than willing to stick it out and cheer us on during the Dog Days of Summer.

CMS Report continues to provide what we think is great content on a wide variety of content management topics. Historically, we've had a very low turnover rate with our sponsors and we appreciate their loyalty here at CMSReport.com. Sponsorship helps us pay the bills we receive from our host provider and internet service provider. Sponsorship also funds the purchase of any software or hardware needed to support this site.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, you can purchase banner space for this site through BuySellAds and Google. This past week we introduced a new 300x250 Medium Rectangle spot and once it is sold we'll make sure it is placed on almost every page of our site. For the periods of time that we have sold out our banner space, BuySellAds does offer sponsors the ability to put themselves on a waiting list to advertise on our site.

You  will want to note that we're in the middle of upgrading our site and trying out a new layout. We recognize that sponsors do not always like to see such fluid changes when advertising on sites. However, if you're a sponsor looking for an audience that does like to see their content management systems evolve and willing to try out new products then you came to the right place. While our audience may be small (40,000 impressions) our CPC is high (0.45) which helps you know that the content management crowd visits here often.

Wellington technology company SilverStripe has recorded its best company growth in its 10 year history, in contrast to the tough global economic conditions that have adversely affected much of the IT industry. SilverStripe recorded 190% revenue growth between 2007 and 2009, ranking SilverStripe the 37th fastest growing business in New Zealand as calculated by Deloitte for their 2009 New Zealand Fast 50 awards.

SilverStripe CEO Brian Calhoun explains that the company growth reflects the belief in open source and people: "This is a big deal for us because it shows that the things we believe in; open source, excellent web user experience, and a focus on the humans who use web technology, are all qualities that are appreciated by the business community."

Demand for SilverStripe's services are also represented in physical book sales. In October 2009, a 432 page SilverStripe developer manual was published. This book has sold out on multiple occasions at Amazon.com and ranks in Amazon's top 100 fastest selling website programming books worldwide. The book allows website developers to build complex websites using SilverStripe's open source software, which has been downloaded over 250,000 times.

Here at CMS Report we do not accept cash for product reviews nor do we accept In-Text Advertisement.  In-Text Advertisement is the annoying marketing technique used by some sites that produce a pop-up advertisement whenever you let your mouse rollover the contextual link.  Besides ethical issues, we just feel these marketing techniques do not provide visitors a good online experience.  So instead, we try to choose less intrusive forms of advertisement here at CMSReport.com.

For revenue, we rely on sponsorship and banner advertisement.  Our generous sponsors help pay for our servers, software, and additional expenses the comes with hosting CMSReport.com.  If you would like to be included as a sponsor of CMSReport.com, please consider taking advantage of the sponsorship opportunities currently available.
