Advertise on A Wall of Text!

by br3ntbr0

Become a sponsor of A Wall of Text and have your ad viewed seen by a targeted demographic that is growing at an alarming rate...MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gamers! Did you know that the demographic may not be as narrowly focused toward teenagers and youth as you may think? The MMO gamer demographic is large in scope, as the Entertainment Software Association states that the average age of a typical gamer is 35 and nearly 40% of gamers are women!

A Wall of Text is a gaming blog dedicated to MMO games and the players that play them. Founded in the spring of 2008 by an avid gamer, A Wall of Text covers top tier MMO games, the companies that make them, and the players that play them. Triple A rated MMO games with mass appeal are typically what the site's content is geared toward, covering games like World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, and many more. It has been visited nearly a quarter of a million times (over 400k at the time of last update to this page) and generated nearly 900,000 page views in its first year, and the growth is continuing. Advertising on A Wall of Text will expose your product or service to thousands of viewers in the online gaming demographic!
