The Auto Channel Delivers More Impact: No Confusing Conquest Ads, No Lead Generating Ads Over Your Release's Marketing Message, No Popups. No Tracking, Just A Brand Safe Million Page Automotive Content Environment.
 |
After 30 years, The Auto Channel (the inventor of interactive rotating ad banners) is now the only distraction-free digital platform to deliver your marketing messages.
Reader and Advertiser Respect
- The Auto Channel listened to its audience and advertisers and removed all Google AdSense banner ads because of blatant sexual objectification, competitive distractions, junky click-bait, and ads covering editorial content—making TACH the only banner-ad-free commercial automotive site.
Why We Removed Ads
- Prevent competitive and distasteful ads from appearing over published marketing information
- Pages load faster and read cleaner
- No autoplay videos, popups, or sticky banners
- More time and space for real reviews, research tools, and news
What Stays (and Gets Better)
- The same million-page automotive library you rely on
- Honest, expert reviews and comparisons
- Privacy-respecting browsing—no tracking beacons or cookie walls
How We’ll Sustain the Work
We’re shifting to direct sponsorships, partnerships, and project-based support that won’t interrupt but will enhance the reader experience.
After The Auto Channel has published your basic press release for free, for a one-time charge of $195, you can convert the basic “Press Release” into a powerful long-tailed “Sales Release” by lighting up helpful and relevant sales-message links (up to three), video (up to three), and images (up to three)—supercharging it into an impactful SEO- and AI-searchable Sales Release in perpetuity.
