Windfinder is a leading global weather service for wind, wave and weather related outdoor sports. Windfinder is unique because on the one hand it combines accurate forecasts for water sports locations with real time observations from more than 7,000 weather stations worldwide and on the other hand it provides the information any time and anywhere.
Windfinder provides wind, waves and weather via its website windfinder.com, via its mobile site windfinder.mobi, via weather apps for the iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile and Blackberry phones, an SMS weather service, desktop and web widgets/gadgets, Windfox (a Firefox Extension), etc. On Windfinder's main product windfinder.com you'll find real time observations, forecasts, weather maps, live webcam images, weather station data, tide calendars, an address directory, and a news blog.
Windfinder.com is used by windsurfers, kitesurfers, snowkiters, surfers, sailors and paragliders worldwide to check the wind, wave and weather conditions. The age of the fun sports target group is mainly between 16 and 50 years old and the one of sailors is between 18 and 65 years. Most people who do these sports have an above average income available.
Windfinder offers full size banners (468x60 pixel), leaderboards (728x90 px), and skyscrapers (120x600 px), wide skyscrapers (160x600 px), hockey sticks (728x90 px + 120x600 px), and medium rectangles/content ads (300x250 px). Naturally, the bigger a banner is, the more attention it will gather and the more likely it is that people will click on it. Banners can be exchanged quickly (for special sales promotions, etc.) and you can run several different banners at the same time (rotation).
You can reach your audience 1) globally on all pages (run of site), 2) on certain wind, wave and weather pages e.g. wind forecasts for Canary Isles (country/regional placements) and/or 3) on one or several certain spots/locations wind/weather reports or forecasts e.g. wind forecast Tarifa (local placements).
Ads may be displayed according to the current geographic location of the user. This means your ad is only shown when the user is located in a certain country, region or city. E.g. if you have a travel agency and want to address audiences in Germany, Switzerland and Austria then use Geo Targeting.
