Advertise
Help in getting the word out about your company and releases is provided in many forms here on The Gaming Gang. Advertising is available on our main page as well as inner post pages and audio programs. It’s important to understand at TGG we never solicit donations from any of our visitors so advertising revenue is used to operate the website and provide us with the opportunity to cover the industry to the best of our abilities. You’ll never read or hear about “pledge drives” or PayPal donation pages in order for us to continue to maintain or improve TGG. This is why generating revenue based on targeted advertising is critical. These funds first and foremost are reinvested into the website to further its promotion and growth. Any leftover revenue is used for future game day and convention attendance; thus providing more opportunities for game and game publisher coverage. In other words, our ad revenues allow us to come out and meet with gamers and the companies that make their favorite games! A true win/win situation!
We understand that gaming companies have many options at their disposal when it comes to advertising current and upcoming releases. We also understand that everyone is looking for the most bang for their buck. That is why we do not include Google Adsense, pay per click, or pay per impression advertising in a rotation with paid advertisers. With that in mind, we also do not place our advertisers’ campaigns into a “hodge podge” rotation where they intermix with other advertisers – your ad space is dedicated to your company and your company alone! We will include multiple gaming titles (from your company) into a rotation, as described below, at your request.
We strive to do more than simply post your ad and provide each company with a custom tailored campaign strategy based upon their needs!

We’ll even allow you to change your current ad campaign twice per month (or once if a two week trial period) at no additional cost.
Please keep in mind that advertisers do not have any editorial control over content posted here on TGG nor do they receive preferential treatment as far as reviews or sneak previews are concerned; we will strive to provide honest and accurate views regarding every game release we cover.
If you have any questions regarding advertising on The Gaming Gang, please contact Jeff and don’t forget to ask about multiple month discounting!
