When TCT was launched on Sept 1, 2009, we decided to keep the site ad free for the first few weeks and focus on visitor growth and reader acquisition. Since then, traffic has shot through the roof, and we are now accepting ads on the site.
Here are a few reasons why you should advertise on TCT:
Rapidly Growing Traffic – Thanks to a strong promotional campaign, TCT got over 4,000 visits and 34,000 pageviews on the very first day of it’s launch! This site finished the month of September with over 150,000 visits and 1.3 million pageviews, far more that any of our competitors.

Targeted Viewers – Over 45% of TCT’s visitors are Telugus from the US, with 55% coming from Andhra and the rest from around the world.
Exclusivity – In a poll of reading habits, 27% of visitors said that they find TCT so comprehensive that they don’t feel the need to visit other sites for telugu movie news. Which means that these readers can’t view your ads elsewhere.
Optimum Ad Placement – Studies show that ads are most effective when placed directly next to content since readers tend to ignore ads on top and simply scroll down to the news articles. This is why we place your ads directly next to article content, so that readers are in constant view of your ad.
Ad Penetration – Unlike most sites which place ads only on their homepages, we place your ads on every single page on TCT! This raises your ad’s exposure by an avg of 10 times.
