A bit of history explains why advertising here is an unparalled value ...
Liking computers, loving metal finishing, and believing in shared knowledge, I established the "Finishing Technology Hotline" electronic bulletin board system (BBS) way back in 1989.
Elsevier published the forum discussions as the internationally popular "Heard on the Hotline" column in Metal Finishing magazine for years.
So when the internet caught on in 1995, we already had a trove of fascinating content plus a 6-year jump to launch finishing.com, "The Home Page of the Finishing Industry®".
Over the years, we've posted a quarter million problems & solutions, attracted tens of thousands of authoritative answers from the luminaries of the industry (many sadly have passed away), were honored with the AESF's prestigious Industrial Achievement Award, and made a successful business out of it.
... but eventually, as happens to us all, I aged out and didn't want to continue maintaining an office, commuting every day, supervising employees, etc., so I semi-retired and run the website from home as a semi-retirement microbusiness and hobby.
All of those decades of content are still on line here, and continue to draw thousands of daily visitors looking for finishing answers, products, and services. With no employees and no rent, and expenses reduced to almost nothing, I can offer this traffic & exposure for just enough to have fun and survive :-)
Far more traffic than any developer or SEO resource can bring you, but at a tiny fraction of what they need to charge. Your company can profit from this if you wish. Find out why we have customers who've advertised here for decades :-)
