The aim of the Whisky-distilleries.info site is just to share the single malt whisky passion and to promote this very special drink. As a consequence, this site is only informative, and even if it is rather complete and documented, it will never be possible for a visitor to buy any bottle directly from this site. And yet, according to the site statistics and the e-mails I get, lots of people are looking for bottles, and would like to know where they can find them.
On the other hand, lots of commercial sites who can fulfil their needs exist, but in most cases the information about distilleries, and even about the bottlings is rather poor. Yet the current trend for consumers is to know more about the items they buy.
Opening this informational pages to selected advertisements can help this visitors to find what they are looking for: information, and the way to buy whisky.
An advertisement on a site where the right kind of people are coming,
and which has a good reputation (see
the reactions on the guest book) can only be very positive for
an announcer who sells the right stuff.
Many whisky lovers do not have the chance to have a good retailer
round the corner (or they do not know there is one..) are looking
for shops where they can buy some bottles (even slightly) out of
the ordinary.
Advertisement banners on this site (which claims a great objectivity)
can also help concerned distilleries to promote their products.
After the first year of existence of this site, more and more visitors
say they really like it. And the visitors are single malt lovers
throughout the world.
I cost me hundreds of hours of hard work to achieve this result.
Beside the huge amount of work for starting and maintaining this
site, the financial effort is great too. Bills for hosting of the
site, software and hardware which are needed for doing the job are
just paid by the author of the site.
And what about the bottles? May I recall here that only bottles I
own, and I can tasted by myself are represented on this web site. This
costs a lot of money too.
Advertisement banners on predefined areas on the pages is the way
to advertise through whisky-distilleries.info
The site contains two kinds of pages: general
information pages and pages directly dedicated to specific distilleries
and their bottlings. All the pages exist in two languages: English
and French.
Banners can be placed on top of pages (there is room for
3 concurrent banners, 200x75) or on the right or left margin (room
for 1 banner, 150x75)
The program displays the banners randomly, according to some criteria to define (like relative weight -(importance of the campaign)- , and so on)
The banners can be pictures, text or flash
animations. A click on the banner brings the visitor directly on
the advertisers web site.
The possibility to check in real time the effect of a campaign is
provided. A user id and password is given, and logging in on a special
page on the site shows the number of banner displays, the number
of clicks, and even the IP addresses of people who have clicked.
And if the advertiser has no web site?
Lots of retailers have no web site. In that case, no problem. A page will be added and maintained on whisky-distilleries.info, according to the requirements of the advertiser, against a slight extra fee. The layout of this extra page can be totally different from the others pages, to avoid confusion for the visitor, who will not notice he still is on the same web site, and will think he is on the web site of the advertiser.
know the number of times his banner has been displayed, the number somebody clicked on his banner,en even more details.
This is possible in real time. Just connect to the server, and enter your user id and password (the screen is in French, but is self-explaining).

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse of alcohol beverages can damage the health. Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child. Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
