Here is an outline of the advertising
options available on the web site:
1. Banner
Ads -
Banner ads are placed in the header
of the forum pages. These banners will show each time a user
or visitor opens any page in the web site. In Jan 2013 these banners were displayed a total of 995,901 times
for the month. The web site received a total of 133,855visits and 3,363,377 hits
in the same month. In March 2013 we had 8168 registered
members.
The banners
are in rotation in a group of 10 banner ad spaces of which
only 7 spaces have been filled at the moment. The banner ad
will cost you R400 per month. You must have
a 728x90 banner for this page. If you do not have a banner
I can create a basic banner for you at R200
each or if you pay for 6 months in advance I will do it for
free.
2. Commercial Members
We do not mind if active forum members advertise goods they wish to sell on an ad hoc basis. But unfortunately some companies / businesses join as members and then use the forum as an advertising medium without contributing to the forum itself. It is thus we decided that all commercial advertisers must register as commercial members.
Such membership will cost R1,500.00 per year. In return your name will be included on the front page under the "sponsors" list and you will be allowed to advertise your products and services in the commercial section of the web site. Even though you are a commercial member you will not be allowed to flood the forum with advertisements. The moderators will use their discretion and if they feel that you are flooding the forum with ads will issue you with a warning. R100 per year of each commercial membership will be donated to the Hilux4x4 Club. If the commercial member wishes to become an active member of the club we will apply that donation towards his yearly membership fee.
NOTE: We reserve the right to limit the number of commercial members who compete in the same field of expertise or sell similar products.
4.
Newsletter Inclusion
Our newsletter
goes out once a month to more than more than 8000 registered users. You
can include up to 250 words in the newsletter at a once off
R800.00 fee per newsletter.
NOTE: Rights reserved; we must approve your business and your ad before we will sell you any ad space. The decision to include or exclude your ad is final and we will not enter into any debate about it.
