Over the years we have seen a great many Christmas websites come and go. We have lost some really good sites only because their original owners lost interest, couldn’t draw visitors or could not pay to keep their sites online. Some sites would lay dormant for months at a time only to spring back to life once Christmas rolled around again.
The Merry Network was founded on the premise that Christmas needs to be represented year-round on the Internet and tended to 365-days of the year. One site cannot do it. But many together can.
By joining our network your site becomes part of a family of sites sharing the common interest of holidays (and not just Christmas).
All sites of the Merry Network enjoy these benefits:
- Hosting. We will host your site for you on our servers. You can have as many emails, databases, server space and bandwidth as you need.
- A common ad server. We centralize the advertising sold on the sites by placement of a banner at the top and bottom of each web page. These ads are professionally sold to reflect the tastes and appeal of our site users.
- Linking. Nothing builds page rank faster than having 30+ related websites linking together!
- Content. We don’t duplicate content from site to site but we coordinate, organize and together decide the best channel for distribution of content.
- Publicity. We share the database of email addresses of site users built over the years to and equally promote features of all sites in the network — free of charge! We also utilize site RSS feeds from across the network in all of our forums to quickly alert the year-round active Christmas community of our latest features.
- Expertise. You don’t have to know everything about running a website. The Christmas webmasters of the Merry Network are a friendly bunch who go out of their way to lend a hand.
The cost to become an affiliate of the Merry Network is $500 per year. Sites are approved for affiliation only after a review of your site status, plans and agreement on established operating standards. We invite you to contact us if you’re interested in participating year-round in bringing our merry sites to the public.
