Display Advertising
Help sponsor your community networking site! A minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of member display ad revenue is donated back to your organization. If 90% of the total display ad spaces are filled for a full quarter we will donate 50% of the display ad revenue back to your organization.
The total amount of display ad spaces on each page is 12 (6 visible ads displayed in rotation with 6 ads hidden from view at any time). Given: 12 ads per homepage, 12 per business directory, 12 per classifieds, 12 per events directory, the total potential ads equals 48 (12 ads/page x 4 pages = 48). 48 ads X 90% = 43 ads. If 43 ads run each month for a calendar year quarter (ex:Jan - March) we will donate back 50% of the total display ad revenue. A 90% ad rate each quarter would generate close to $4000/year.
Guidelines
- Display ad space is limited so ad placement is "first come, first served" for approved ads. See general posting guidelines under FAQ tab.
- One display ad is allowed per member at any given time unless there is available space.
- Second display ads by a single business will be sold only on a month-to-month schedule. The second Ad will be discontinued if another member's ad is submitted.
- Member ads have first priority over non-member ads. Non-member advertising will only occur if space is available.
- If more ads are submitted than spaces available, ads will go onto a waiting list and be placed in the order submitted as space becomes available.
Ad Duration
- Minimum ad duration is 3 months, maximum is 12 months.
- If there is available space, we reserve the right to allow an ad to extend past 12 months, but only on a month-to-month schedule.
- Advertisers will be charged only after he/she approves the ad as placed on the site and has sent electronic approval. Credit cards will be charged monthly.
