What does it cost?

What are the ad specs?

The ad slots are 468 x 60 pixels which is the standard banner ad size. You may provide an ad in GIF, JPEG, or FLASH format. The ad download size must be no larger than 15,000 bytes. Ads with animation sequences are encouraged.

Can you make an ad for us?

Yes. We have experienced designers on our team who can make a banner ad for you in either GIF, animated GIF, or FLASH 5. Cost per ad is $60 and up. Once we create an ad for you, YOU own it and may use it anywhere you like, not just our site.

What we need to make an ad for you (one or more of the following^*):

• A peek at your website if you have one, or

• Any paper brochure or catalog for your business, or

• Business Name
• General idea of what you sell
• Any slogans or mottos
• Any ideas you have for how it should look
• Two or three photos of your product (optional)

^*In most cases we can derive pictures, text, and a general feel for your business by looking at your website. If you don't have one a brochure or catalog is the next best thing.

What are "ad rotations"?

Our pages have only one ad slot per page, usually at the top or a prominent location. Your banner ad(s) will be in rotation with other advertisers who have requested the same slot. All advertisers are given equal probability of appearing in an ad slot.

Do you provide statistics?

Yes! We have an on-line account manager where you can receive up-to-the-minute statistics including information on both impressions and click-throughs.

Do you barter?

Yes, we will on occasion accept trade-outs of merchandise for our ad services. If this interests you please contact us to see if we can work something out.
