Reach riders while
they are still planning.
People read this site before they tow, not after. They are working out which approach to take, where to camp, what fuel is going to cost and what they have forgotten. That is the moment a fabricator, a rental operator, a tyre shop or an RV park is worth finding.
A la carte advertising is available. Local website placements start at $99/month, with 3 to 6 month seasonal campaigns and discounted annual contracts. Billboard and package rates are listed separately.
Why here
Intent,
not impressions.
Glamis is the largest mass of sand dunes in California and one of the busiest off-highway areas in the country. The season runs October 1 to April 15, and the traffic here follows it: permits, camping, fuel prices, maps and first-timer questions, all from people with a trip on the calendar.
This is a small, independent guide rather than a national listings site. That is the point. There is no auction, no retargeting and no pop-up. A placement here is a recommendation in front of somebody already committed to the trip.

Across the network
Network advertising,
choose your reach.
A la carte and seasonal advertising are available. Choose individual placements or packages through the Dune Guide USA advertising planner, with annual or 3 to 6 month seasonal terms. Network campaign pricing is separate from the local website rates on this page.
What you get
What your money
actually buys.
A real position, not a slot in a rotation
Section sponsors are exclusive. Featured partners are capped at three per category. Nobody is bidding against you for the same pixels, and nothing you buy gets diluted next month.
Clicks, measured
Every placement reports clicks into Google Analytics with the placement and the page attached. You get the number, not a rate card claim about impressions nobody can verify.
Traffic you can see arriving
Outbound links carry UTM tags, so the visit shows up in your own analytics as coming from this guide rather than as unattributed direct traffic.
Every guide, one conversation
This site is part of the growing Dune Guide USA network. If you serve riders across more than one dune region, it is one buy and one invoice.
Ground rules
What we will
and will not do.
Paid placements are always labelled. Sponsored positions say so. House ads for our own sister guides say "Our sister guide" rather than pretending to be a partner. You will never be sold a placement that reads as editorial.
Official information is not for sale. Permits, rules and safety carry no advertising at all. Fees, flag dimensions and closures come from BLM, and no partner can influence what those pages say. An advert next to a heat warning would make the warning worth less, and that warning is the most useful thing on the site.
No pop-ups, no interstitials, no autoplay. Most of this audience is on a phone, often on poor signal, frequently checking something urgent. Anything that gets in the way of that is not for sale here at any price.
We will tell you if it is not working. If a placement is not earning its money we would rather move you or refund you than quietly renew you.
Get in touch
Tell us
what you run.
Say what your business is, which corridor you serve, Brawley and El Centro on the California side or Yuma on the Arizona side, and which website, Adventure, or network offer you are interested in. We will tell you honestly whether it is worth it for you.
Advertising services are offered and contracted exclusively by MCKINNEY DIGITAL HOLDINGS LLC, operator of the Dune Guide USA network. Glamis Dune Guide is independent and is not operated by the BLM or any public agency.
Currently available
Everything,
for now.
This guide is new. Nothing has been sold yet, which means every position on the rate card is open and the first partners get to choose. The slots below run our own sister guides until somebody buys them.
A La Carte, Seasonal, and Annual Advertising
Can I buy advertising a la carte?
Yes. Buy a local website placement on its own. You do not need to purchase a network package. Local Listing starts at $99/month. Billboard availability and rates are listed separately.
Can I advertise only during my season?
Yes. Choose a 3, 4, 5, or 6 month website campaign: Local Listing $99/month, Featured Partner $249/month, Section Sponsor $499/month, or Live Conditions Sponsor $999/month. We confirm your start date, end date, placement and total cost in writing. Billboard and package seasonal rates are separate.
Is there a discount for a yearly contract?
Yes. Annual website plans provide 12 months for the price of 10, a 16.7% saving. Annual totals are $990 for Local Listing, $2,490 for Featured Partner, $4,990 for Section Sponsor, and $9,990 for Live Conditions Sponsor, billed annually. Existing signed agreements retain their agreed pricing and terms.
Are local and network advertising prices the same?
No. These website rates cover the local placement described on its card. For campaigns across destinations, compare individual placements, packages and terms in the Dune Guide USA advertising planner.
