Take a look at a new horse racing magazine. It seems like viewing full-page (top left) works best. http://issuu.com/stridemagonline/docs/stride2.

Looks good. Hope they don't have the same problems Horseplayer Magazine does with honoring subscriptions and prompt delivery.

They shouldn't considering they are free and online only.

Hmmmm..Horseplayer Mag would not be able to blame the Post Office all the time for their problems if they went online.

Nicely done. If they are in a magazine format, they don't support clickthroughs on the ads. Wonder if they can generate enough money with display ads that only generate viewer impressions (CPM). Not sure on the business model. The Times of London has a similar model through newspapers direct, but they charge a subscription.

At any rate well done and hope they can be economically viable.

The ads in the magazine are hyperlinked? When I click on them all I get is a zoom in and zoom out.

Just a yellow box for the link within the page, move your cursor around to find them and then wait a bit as they are very slow to load.

You should put some e-mail sign up list on your site so people can sign up and get a reminder or the link each time it comes out. Unfortunately the only way I know how to do that is with Constantcontact and it costs money, but not too much.

Very good. It is definitely a good product and should be able to get you a press pass for the KY Derby, Preakness, and Belmont if you do not already have one.
