Become a Founding Advertiser on Smoky Mountain Weekends
Smoky Mountain Weekends is a new, independently run travel guide for Sevier County, Tennessee — focused on the shoulder season, when your rates are softest and you need bookings most. We’re building the audience now, and founding advertisers get first position and locked rates while we do.

Straight talk about our traffic
A lot of local directories quote big visitor numbers they can’t back up. We’d rather tell you exactly where we stand: this site launched recently and is still building its search presence. We are not going to pretend otherwise, and we won’t quote you a number we can’t prove.
What we will do is send you our actual Google Analytics figures — current sessions, page views, and the clicks your listing has received — before you pay anything, and every month after that. If the numbers aren’t worth what you’re paying, cancel. Every plan is month-to-month for that reason.
Founding advertisers get first position in their category and keep their rate for twelve months, including after our traffic grows.
