What makes Web Advertising different?

Advertising on the World Wide Web operates under a different model than print advertising. Each ad view represents the appearance of one ad, on one page, on one browser, for one viewer.

Web ad campaigns are typically purchased in blocks. Ads are displayed on a rotating basis with other clients' ads until the purchased allotment is reached, at which point advertisers have the option of renewing the ad.

Web Ad Requirements and Specifications:

• Ad file size is limited to 15k per ad.
• The image sizes available are: Medium Banner (180 x 60) with others like the Variable Column (180 x 30, 120, 240 or custom) and Standard Banner (468x60) to come in the future.
• Ads may be submitted in .jpg, .gif, .psd (Adobe Photoshop), .psp (Jasc Painshop) or .tif formats. All files will be converted to .jpg or .gif formats for posting to the Web.
• Any ad(s) submitted should be clean and legible. If needed, images may be altered for improved quality.
• Ideally each ad should link to a Web page, however, this is not manditory. If you so choose, Single-page creation is available to advertisers without Web sites for a fee.

Tips for Effective Web Ads

• Less is more. Details (such as price lists, addresses, phone numbers, times and dates) are best left on your Web site.
• Encourage clicks by sponsoring contests, offering giveaways and drawings, or inviting user participation. Don't forget to include the phrase "click here" (or something similar) directly in your Web ads.
• Use ads and forms to build e-mail lists. Having your ad direct users to a "More Info." form on your site can help you build an e-mailing list, useful for informing potential customers of offers, sales and events.
• Use color. Unlike print ads, Web ads offer more freedom with color. Take advantage of it by using colorful and eye-catching (yet tasteful) artwork and design elements. Avoid black-and-white or monochrome ads, unless there is a specific purpose for having them.
• Make your site inviting. Too many great ads lead to disappointing sites. Invest in a clean, informative and functional Web site. Even if you do not offer e-commerce, your site should never be an after-thought. Provide online window shoppers with useful, accurate and current information that will invite them back to your site . . . and your business.
• Use variety. Have multiple ads running at one time, and replace them to keep your Web advertising fresh and appealing.
