# Read/WriteWeb sponsor packages available

![premium blog](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726im_/http://readwriteweb.com/images/premium_blog.jpg)As [Read/WriteWeb](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://readwriteweb.com/) continues to evolve and ramp up its traffic, I’ve found that it’s consuming more and more of my time. I love it of course, as this blog is (and always has been) my passion. I’ve recently had a re-design and I’ve been putting a lot of effort into the content – making sure it’s high quality, plus hitting its target niche of covering web 2.0 market segments and Web/media innovation.

In short, my goal with Read/WriteWeb is to provide premium quality content, focusing on high level analysis and industry insights. So it’s very much **quality** over quantity, although I still aim to pump out 1-2 decent posts per day.

In line with my site goals, and in order to justify my ongoing time investment in R/WW, I’m now making available more [premium sponsor slots](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.readwriteweb.com/advertise.php) – in addition to my current premium sponsor [Atlassian](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/). They will be located in the top-right corner of all pages and are a monthly flat rate. My pitch for this is: **Premium Sponsors deserve Premium Content** (or is it the other way round?). Think of R/WW as like a premium beer, exported from New Zealand no less 🙂 NB: the photo above is derived from [such a product](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.premium-beer-import.dk/).

A lot of popular blogs are doing sponsorships these days – [TechCrunch](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.techcrunch.com/) of course, which Mike Arrington has done an amazing job of growing to its current position, Om Malik’s [GigaOm](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.gigaom.com/), Rafat Ali’s [PaidContent](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.paidcontent.org/), Pete Cashmore’s [Mashable](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.mashable.com/), Tom Foremski’s [Silicon Valley Watcher](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/). These are all sites I admire greatly – and their owners are all making a go of turning their blogging passion into self-sustainable businesses. I’m hoping to at least hold my own amongst those stellar bloggers, in my own little niche of course.

[Email me](https://web.archive.org/web/20090802114726/mailto:readwriteweb@gmail.com) if you’d like to enquire about sponsoring R/WW.
