Readership

The women cycling sport has a slightly different audience then the men. And that is the best news. Since this sport is more a total family sport then the mens version. Therefor it's biggest advantage is that it's open to all advertisements. The visitors and readers are from all ages and gender.

Due to our not so normal kind of questionnaires in the past we can say with confident that our viewers are people who know what they are talking about, and know what they want. No matter from which part of the world they are coming from. Our returning visitors are coming from more then 100 countries in the world. Another great thing about this sport. When looking at the Trade Team registered riders, you will notice that the women's cycling world is a more international world then the men. This is not only a confirmation but is also showing how open this sport is to everybody.

Content

We try to give the best and highest quality of content. We check every news we get ourself, and reject every gossip that we receive. Also with results and any other content we try to eliminate every error made. Making mistakes is something human. The language differences does not make it any easier. Therefor we put lots of time in checking and reading everything over and over again in order to give the best and only correct information there is.

Advertising

Advertising on Ladies Cycling net is not taken for granted. Just as much time and effort we put into giving the highest content, we put in advertisement. Not everyone will be accepted. Advertisement should be an option to bring the site and content to an even higher level.

Thanks to our multi-linguistic content and viewers we can offer a language based solution. This way you can optimize your advertisement campaign, so you don't get viewers, clicks and visitors that would not benefit you.

We also offer page oriented options. Suppose you only want to relate yourself, or express yourself with one type of content. Then there is no problem. It can go as far as only showing your ad in relation to one team or rider.

The golden THREE.

We offer three advertisement zones, three types of ads and three rates.

Types of ads : ^{(look at our examples currently running)}

• Text - Link
• Button and Skyscrapers
  
• Banner

Zones reserved for ads :

• Left column ^{(only text links)}

Ad rates :

The final tree ;-)

• Almost every product and service can apply. Only products related to the womens side of cycling are one bike in front, while companies actively involved are two bikes in front. Therefor more likely in winning the spot.

Who we are

Our story started in 1998 with the world championships in Valkenburg (Ned). It was a small walk over the border. It took not long after the worlds that made me discover that there was little to no valuable information about this sport to be found on the internet.

It was January 2003 that we started the first version of this site. A hobby site like there are so many to find on the internet.

In order to support our growth we stopped with our advertising company and started a new one only dedicated to the womens cycling sport. Ladies Cycling Organization was born in 2005.

Now two years later I melded my three companies into one. 2007 is the start of a new beginning. The LCO group has seen it's first light. And also this site is undergoing a major rebuild in service and structure.

The structure

Founder and current CEO is William Meertens
LCO stands for Ladies Cycling Organization and also represents our companies :

• Landbouw (agriculture)
• Cycling (Ladies Cycling Organization)
• Onderhoud (industrial maintenance service)
