Designed to provide the exposure and click-through results you want!

Impressions. Exposure. Impact. Our goal for the Pennsylvania Dutch Country Welcome Center is to actively promote Lancaster County and local businesses on the Internet. We have been doing just that since June 1995. The Pennsylvania Dutch Country Welcome Center includes two websites working together: PaDutch.com and 800PaDutch.com.

These websites are very active in promoting Lancaster County and Lancaster area businesses online.

* This is the activity for 800PaDutch.com only.

Potential visitors who are planning a trip here want to know what to do, where to shop and eat, where to stay, etc. Local residents have many of the same questions, plus they want to know about many local sevices. We provide comprehensive listings of businesses and services available to meet their needs. By advertising on this website you can potentially increase your exposure to people who are looking for you. Our website may not work for everyone. But you have our commitment that we will try to make this site deliver for you.

We try to list businesses in as many appropriate pages as is relevant, including topical directories, regional pages, and monthly Calendar of Events listings. (See our Website Index for other appropriate categories for your business.) We make it easy for site visitors to find the information they want - and we make it easy for them to find you, even if they aren't looking for you! If your business or organization or event is not listed in a category where you think it should be listed, please see Add Your Business or Add Your Special Event.

Following are the different advertising opportunities available. Here's to YOUR success!

(All rates shown are annual figures, unless otherwise stated. There would be an additional premium charged for shorter duration ads.)

We list businesses in as many appropriate directories and web pages as appropriate. From each of those listings we can provide a link to your website. Businesses that have links appear above the listings of businesses without links, providing them better exposure on the page. Link rates vary based upon your annual click-through activity. For first-time participants, we estimate a reasonable expected activity level. Thereafter, your rate would be based upon your actual previous year click-throughs, as follows:
