We offer 15 site-wide premium ads and an unlimited number of site-wide economy ads. These are fixed ads, not rotating banners which, if you are not the first or second ad in the rotation, you stand a good chance of not being seen. (you can use an active .gif banner or a rotating banner which changes from page to page if you want though) The prominence of each ad space is designated by the following colors*:

RED - Above the navigation - THE HOTTEST SPOT ON ANY WEB SITE
GREEN - STRONGEST - ABOVE THE FOLD END UP.
LIGHT YELLOW - STRONG, though not the weakest place on a page.
WHITE - Economy Ad.

There is also the Page Sponsor ad which, quantity wise, is unlimited, but the first one is considered a 'green' location The Page Sponsor ads are placed in the order in which they are received unless the top location is specified.

AND WITH BOTH THE SITE-WIDE AND PAGE SPONSOR ADS, you also get a click-through log to track the number of visitors to your site and the page sponsor enhanced listing as shown below -
