Placement options

Run of Site

Looking to connect with users worldwide? Choosing the "Run of site" placement ensures your banners appear across the whole Windfinder website.

Country / regional placements

We recommend placing ads on weather pages that cover certain countries or regions if you want to address users by countries or regions. E.g. if your desired audience monitors wind, waves and weather in the Canary Isles then place your banners on all weather pages for the Canary Isles.

Local placements

Reach the right people at the right place. Choose weather pages for surf spots, marinas, or nearby areas to showcase your business where potential customers check forecasts and reports.

Targeting

Geo Targeting

With Geo Targeting, ads are displayed according to where the user is located. This ensures your ad is only shown in the countries, regions, or cities you choose. A travel agency, for instance, could reach users in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

Weather Targeting

As a unique option you can also place ads depending on the observed or predicted:

  • wind speed (e.g. the best sail for the current wind)
  • temperature (e.g. the best wetsuit for the predicted temperature)
  • cloudiness (a banner for sun lotion when the sun is shining).
