I signed up but I am not getting the email?
If you have already signed up as a subscriber and you are not receiving your daily news email, it usually means your spam filter is sorting the email to your junk filter. This happens because the daily email from Paso Robles Daily News contains a lot of links, which can trigger a spam filter. If you add “news@pasoroblesdailynews.com” as a contact in your computer and click “not spam”, you should be able to solve the problem. You may also mark our email address as a VIP in your email system. Most email systems allow users to create “rules.” If so, create a “rule” that email from “news@pasoroblesdailynews.com” is never spam. See instructions for email rules for Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail. A reader can also re-subscribe using a different email address.
I am already a subscriber, why do I see a pop-up asking me to subscribe?
We understand that can be frustrating. Like many websites, this site’s only funding is through advertising. You have probably noticed pop-up advertising on other sites as well, including KSBY, KCOY, and the SLO Tribune. Instead of selling the pop-up to an advertiser, we are using it to promote subscriptions. Subscribers are a valuable way for us to broaden our reach. We are able to avoid the annoyance for most readers. When you see the pop-up, a cookie is placed in your browser that says “don’t show me the pop up again.” However, if you have cookies turned off, or you erase your cookies or browsing history, then our site does not know that you’ve already seen it. We also have it set so it only goes up after you are done reading and your mouse moves off the page. Additionally, the pop-up does not lock up your screen and you can close the window.
Can I comment anonymously?
The Paso Robles Daily News uses a commenting system that requires authentication through Facebook. To leave a comment, first join, or sign in to Facebook. This system is set up to require commenters to use a real name and verified identity. Our policy is to not publish anonymous comments or anonymous letters to the editor. Readers are welcomed to send anonymous news tips to us at scott@pasoroblesdailynews.com.
I am advertising in the Paso Robles Daily News but I can’t see my ad?
All ads rotate into the boxes on the homepage and at the bottom of stories on the website. All ads run through an ad rotation software. The software rotates more than 50 ads through the available positions. The software keeps track of the number of individual views and clicks on each ad. Those statistics are included in monthly reports for all advertisers. The website receives more than 400,000 page views per month. Ad packages are sold by views per month, such as 10,000, 35,000, or 100,000 views per month. This means that an advertiser with a 10,000-view-per-month plan is going to see the ad much less often than a client who is purchasing 100,000 views per month. There is a page on the website that shows all of the ads currently running: https://pasoroblesdailynews.com/ads/. Advertisers may purchase plans with more views that include being placed on the daily email to subscribers.
Does the Paso Robles Daily News sell links?
No. The Paso Robles Daily News does not sell or trade URL links. The policy for links in promoted articles is to use “nofollow” code in the href html. If you operate a local business or organization, you are welcome to submit a business listing to our business directory. Click here >> Add a business listing to the Paso Robles Daily News.
