Since The Foreigner was launched in February 2009, our readership has grown substantially, and we receive tens of thousands of visitors to The Foreigner every month.

Although the majority of our visitors live in Norway, we do have readers from other parts of the world in over 100 countries, and in particular from the United Kingdom and United States.

Our news section attracts readers from a wide range of backgrounds including expatriates, foreigner workers and anyone having an interest in Norway and anything Norwegian.

There are a number of advertising options available. If you are a private reader of The Foreigner you can submit a classified advert free of charge which will be listed for 30 days. You can also renew the ad without cost after that time. For more information on classified ads, click here.

The ForeignerBanner Adverts

We offer two sizes of banner advert- landscape (width 726 pixels) and small (width 250 pixels). Landscape banner adverts are available on the front page and on the article pages themselves at the top and the bottom as shown.

Small adverts can be placed in the side columns on most pages (either to the left or right, depending on the page).

We offer a range of banner advert prices according to the size and how often it appears.

Other information

All adverts have a minimum contract of 1 month, and discounts may be available for 3 or more months. Each advert can potentially be shared with up to two other adverts – except in the case of the top banner, where it will be shared with one other – so we can guarantee that it be shown for at least 33% of the time. In most cases it is likely to be shown 50-100% of the time. If you require exclusivity on any of the advert types (i.e. 100% of the time), this is possible, but for a higher fee.
