What Type of Ads are Available?
The ads you purchase are standard 468x60 pixel banner ads. They will appear in the top-right corner of every page and will be seen the most in the site’s forums, which currently receive the most traffic.

Are there any Advertisement Content Rules?
Since this is a Christian site, we do have some minor content rules. Ads must not promote drug and alcohol use, sex, or political viewpoints. The language should be “clean” and there should not be any nudity or graphic violence. In general, if the ad were a movie, it needs to be rated ‘G’ or ‘PG’.

How Can I Purchase Ads?
We believe in keeping things simple here. You know that you want to advertise on a site and you know the time period you would like the ads to run. We understand that. That is why we only sell ads on a daily basis. Just pick the length of time you want the ad to run for and the dates and we’ll make it happen. Below is our pricing structure.

Advertising Rates
Daily - $2 per day
Month - $45
Quarterly (3 Months) - $100
Annual (12 Months) - $360

Long Running Ads
When you purchase a month or more in advertising, we can at your request provide you with a login for your advertising account. This will allow you to update and change the ad you are running at your convenience. Your long running ad purchase will be treated as one “ad slot” in which any one ad can run at any given time. You can purchase more advertising to gain additional slots if you desire them.

Payment Methods
Payments are normally handled through Paypal.com. This will allow you to use any credit card that you might have and helps to keep things hassle free in general. If you need to pay by check, just let us know and we can make that happen as well.

I’m ready to commit, how do I sign up?
