The only formats for the ads being accepted at this time are:
Banner ads are also available on my new HerpWantAds.com site, but this can be handled directly from within the software on that site.
The current charge for running ads will be for 1 month for any banner position, on any site for $25 (with automatic PayPal subscription plan).
This is a departure from what I had been doing for the past year. Prior to this change, I was charging by impressions, but honestly this seemed to be more complicated for some people to deal with, and after a year of trying it this way, I have decided to go with a monthly charge. If someone really wants to be charged by impressions, or even by actual clicks to their site, contact me and we can work it out to whatever you would like to have.
Sponsorship pages from the drop down menu line are now available for you to put in a graphic banner and short text description of your business or service provided. You can have your business presence presented to prospective customers at the click of a button on the drop down list for only $25 per year. This is a first come, first serve offering, whereby the first ones taking part in this special offer will get the premium positions at the top of the page. So don't delay!
Graphics logos are 120x60 pixels and can be in either JPG or GIF formats.
Furthermore, anyone interested in getting a listing for one year on the front page of the FaunaClassifieds.com site under the FEATURED SITES section can do so for only $25 per year.
If your banner ad is not already on file, you will need to email me with the ad and the URL you want it pointed to.
To renew your currently running banner ad, you can use the following convenient links:
There are a couple of ways you can pay to have your banner ad run:
- Paypal - Startup Fee and first month - $45
- Paypal - Monthly Banner Ad Renewal Fee - $35 one month ONLY.
- PayPal monthly subscription plan - Automatic renewal of $25 per month. Keeps me from having to send you a notice every month.
- Paypal - Yearly Banner Ad Fee - $300 one year ONLY
- PayPal Yearly subscription plan - Automatic renewal of $250 per year. Keeps me from having to send you a notice every year.
- Paypal - Featured Sites Listing on Front Page and Sponsorship page listings - $35 per year
- PayPal Yearly subscription plan - Automatic renewal of $25 per year. Keeps me from having to send you a notice every year.
Remember that this paid banner ad system is put into place to keep the sites I maintain free for all members and visitors. If this fails to keep the bills paid, I will have no other choice but to go to a paid subscription plan where EVERYONE will be required to pay a minimal fee to be able to access the sites. The banner ads are a much more pleasant way to do this, since you are not only helping to support these sites, but you are also getting quite a bit of advertising exposure as well.
Please note that the Paypal button is set up to accept payments in increments of a single block of 1 month. So if you want to pay for two months banner ad rotation, you would enter a quantity of two (2) and be charged for that number of months of service. If you want to pay for more than one banner ad, then please indicate the particulars in an email to me or in the comments section when you order. Email would be the best way to convey this information to me.
Also note the STARTUP FEE for new banner ads that is now in effect. This also applies to those banner ads that have been allowed to lapse and the account has been deleted. Any account that lapses past the 7th of the month will be deleted. The startup fee will then apply to recreate your account and recopy the banner file(s).
Renewals are due on the first of each month. Please mark it on your calendar. I went to the monthly cycle to try to make life easier for me, but if I still have to send out notices to everyone each month, it certainly didn't gain me much. I encourage everyone to take the longer view and plan on the yearly plan.
If you wish to do so, you can PayPal my account directly using my email address of [email protected].
