These exclusive banners are on a first come/first served basis and there will only be 10 banners on the Home page listed at a time and only 9 side banners during the Browsing and Searching results. Banners will run for 15 days without regard to the number of views usually assigned to banner advertisement.
Images are shown in actual size and as they will appear on the site and banner sizes are noted above the banners.
These are 3 times+ the size of our static banner and these stay on the page all the time (not rotating with other advertisers) so these are you best advertising bet. We will be adding more animated banner selections in the near future so you have an even wider choice of styles.
Rotating (with other Member banners) banners are always available for $10/month but you must create and submit these banners. These banners cost $10 for 1,000 views (versus 15 days regarldess of the number of views with these banners). For those ads, simply click on the last Add to Cart button at the bottom of the page.
How to get your ad on the Home page (don't worry, our email will provide all the information you will need as well):
First simply choose your ad or ads and add them to your shopping cart. Once your done then simply pay by clicking "Checkout" in your cart. Though our payment service in this case is Paypal, you do not need a Paypal account to pay us and you will be able to pay with a credit card.
We will respond with a direct email link that you can simply reply to with the specific information noted for each banner. Our email will have a form that you can easily fill out during your response to use.
This email should also be used to attach the noted number of images (or any number below that, we can edit down but not up). Images must be no larger then 200k and a much smaller size is recommended if possible. Please process your pictures to their smallest size. Images must either be .jpeg or .gif images. We will crop down your images for you to fit into that particular ad. Please pay attention to any minimums for the various banners. Maximum for all banners is 30 images but most are for 15 images.
Item Titles and Subtitles can have a maximum of 15 characters each unless noted. If titles are too long we will either edit them to be brief or change the font to a smaller size. Your item title should be a teaser rather then a full description of an item. Usually you can just edit down you auction23 item title to remove extra words to get to a basic description. Remember, it's the pictures that will sell it.
These animated ads include the ability to ad links to your auctions but this is not required for any or all of your pictures though we recommend it for all of them.
Remember that there may be a waiting line as the number available are limited so any URL auction links you provide for current auctions may be well in progress or ended so you may want to use the URL for all of your current auctions. To get this URL simply go to one of your items and click "view active auctions". If no links are submitted then it will not effect your banner at all, there will just be no clickable items.
