| NEW: Special "Mystical Community" Web Site pricing Here |
Search Engines tend to draw the largest number of visitors of any other internet resource. Why? Because search engines are literally every user's gateway to the internet. They present the user the possibility of finding exactly the web sites they want quickly and easily. Placing your advertising banner on a high traffic search engine is by far the most guaranteed method of quickly building traffic to your web site. And when your banner is viewed, the internet tourist is just one simple mouse click away from becoming a visitor to your web site.
When you advertise with AvatarSearch (the internet's premier Occult Search Engine), you are promoting your product, web site or service to the majority of Pagans, Magickians, Mystics and other Alternative Spiritual Belief oriented people on the internet. This is because the sole function of AvatarSearch is to catalog Mystical and Occult related web sites and provide access to this database as a free service. Simply put, AvatarSearch is the only true search engine solely dedicated to Mysticism, Magick and the Occult on the internet today! As a result, we receive thousands of different visitors each week who will be interested in your product or service.

This Graph updates Every 30 seconds
(Some Browser will require may that you Re-Load Manually)As mentioned earlier, AvatarSearch is visited weekly by over Eight Thousand Pagans, Magickians, Mystics and others of various Alternative Spiritual Beliefs. Often, you will find that there are anywhere from 10 to 40 users on the system at one time. The graph to the right shows you the number of concurrent users Right Now, followed by Today's record, then Yesterday's record, and finally the highest number at any one time during the Current Month.
Generally, you will not find listings outside of the scope of Mysticism, Magick or the Occult here since they do not match our web site requirements. It is this very feature which attracts to us among the most open-minded and free thinking audience currently on the internet. In addition, our visitors' interests are widely varied which results in products and services with unusual qualities being very well received (especially those related to Western or Eastern Occultism). A few examples of such products and services are:This list is, of course, by no means exhaustive. On the other hand, we Pagans, Mystics, Magickians, Satanists, Taoists, Shaman, etc., own automobiles, buy flowers, go on trips (usually to places like Stonehenge or Egypt), wear clothes, go to movies and generally have lives like everyone else. So placing ads which are not specifically related to the above list can still make good business sense.
- Occult books, tapes and videos
- Ritual supplies (robes, ritual implements, candles, incense, etc.)
- Art work, tarot cards, other forms of divination
- Astrological, psychic, tarot readings, etc.
- Films, Videos, Cutting Edge Television Programming, etc.
Features
- RotoBanners
- RotoBanners (located in the upper right frame of the frames display) automatically update every 30 to 45 seconds. So even when a user performs a new search your banner continues to be displayed in it's original position. This not only guarantees that your ad will be see by all visitors but has the added benefit of utilizing well know principles of recognition and reinforcement (for a discussion on principles of reinforcement in product advertising see Brand Success in a Recession).
- Specify the number of impressions
- Each time a visitor views your ad it counts as one impression. Our rotating banner ad prices start a rate of two cents per impression beginning with the first 1000 impressions. This makes AvatarSearch among the least expensive advertising options available to you on the internet.
- Specify the period of time
- It is possible to have your impressions shown over the course of 2 weeks or incrementally over a period of 12 months. Obviously, 10,000 impressions over 1 week will give your company or service much more immediate exposure than will 10,000 impressions over 4 weeks. The choice is entirely up to you.
- Rate Card
- Our ad rates are the least expensive of any search engine on the internet. Starting at 2 cents per impression there is no other internet resource which provides the value and user base as AvatarSearch. (Please Note: All prices shown are in U.S. funds)
Take a look at our scaled rate card:

AvatarSearch: a True Search Engine
In contrast to the many sites maintaining "links" to occult web sites AvatarSearch is, in fact, a complete full service search engine. As with other search engines (i.e., Excite, AltaVista, InfoSeek, HotBot, etc.) whenever a user performs a search the results are composed and presented "on the fly" with respect to the user's query. These user query matches are the direct result of a database search. This is not true of other such "services" who maintain a static or automated "list-o-links." In such cases, the search (if any) is performed across many local web pages (maintained manually) with the results of the search containing all of the listings on the "Z" page (whether they are relevant or not). The information presented is at best sparse and at worst non-existent.
In addition to providing the exact listings in which the user is interested the results AvatarSearch yields are informationally rich.
This is because AvatarSearch:
- provides up to a 100 words textual description for each web site listing
- each web site owner has full control over their listings (and can add or update their own information as needed)
- contains a fully functional expert system (using state of the art Artificial Intelligence technology) which pre-screens all web site submissions before placing them in the database thus guaranteeing the consistency and integrity of our listings
- has literally thousands of listings catalogued with hundreds of new listings being added each day
With all of these factors together AvatarSearch offers a content rich and highly useful service to anyone interested in information regarding Mysticism or Magick on the internet. And it is for all of the reasons listed that AvatarSearch enjoys a large audience composed of thousands of visitors each week.
