Web Hosting & Linking: If you have a website of your own, you are paying someone to host it. If your business joins the Society we will host it for you FREE and link it to your page on www.stmartin.com and www.stmaarten.com. This service is included in the membership/advertising fee. You will also receive a fully capable administration interface to make content adjustments and to keep you content fresh. We will also link your existing web site to www.stmartin.com and www.stmaarten.com. It is all part of your annual fee. Only member's websites that are on www.stmartin.com and www.stmaarten.com will be linked to our 70 plus web addresses.

Effective Search Results: A link (or links) from our pages to your website is the most effective way to advertise your St. Martin/St. Maarten business. Depending on the type of business and the side of the island you are on, your site can expect to receive 1,000 to over 10,000 visitors a month from us. There are also added benefits in being linked to from our web site - many search engines won't even list your site unless you have some other popular sites linked to you - as one of the most visited Caribbean travel web sites we help to solve the mysterious problem of "link relevancy".

Accurate Reporting: Your link also comes with a unique web page where you can view daily, real-time stats - as far as we know we are the only Caribbean travel site that gives our customers access to this information in real-time, if at all. Many websites will tell advertisers to pull this information from their own log files - we realize that you are busy running your business and make this information easily available by just visiting a web page.

Pricing: Our pricing remains at an annual flat rate, which usually works out to mere pennies per click. We have found this system facilitates both the advertiser and us in terms of simplicity and cost effectiveness. There are two types of membership placement:

1. Hotels, Resorts, Casinos, Real Estate Companies, Marinas and Mega Yachts: US $695.00 per year

2. All Other Types of Business: US $395.00 per year

These prices include the following features:

• Your will have your own web pages (4) with up to 8 pictures of your choosing on our web portal with links in every appropriate category on the entire web site.
• Free email for your business and everyone else you would like. Our webmail is accessible from anywhere in the world you can connect to the web. Our webmail features 100MB of storage, spam and virus protection.
