ADVERTISING RATES & POLICIES

Banner Advertisements

Each advertiser will receive a two banners - a horizontal 468 x 60 pixel banner and a 150 x 600 pixel banner. Two banners are displayed per page. Our banner ad program shows impressions and clickthroughs. Reports will be generated on request. Banners may be changed on a weekly basis. All banners are rotated on an equal basis with other advertisers. With over a million page views per month at each site, you are sure to get plenty of bang for your buck.

E-Zine Specifications

E-Golf Deals sends out a weekly newsletter in a HTML format that provides a brief synopsis of current special that will be highlighted that week. One advertiser is spotlighted for that broadcast. This is a great way to get your message to our database of 60,000+ area golfers. In a separate newsletter, we also broadcast current golf news, course reviews and instruction articles featured on http://www.scratch-golfer.com. This newsletter is also limited to one advertiser. Please contact us for more information and see our scheduled rates posted above.

Scheduling Deadlines

Advertisers must allow at least two business days for testing of HTML banners before the creative is deployed.

Creative Policies

All advertisements must be approved by E-Golf Deals before being placed on site. We reserve the right to reject any insertion order, graphic, text description or URL.

Guidelines

Advertisers may not mislead users into thinking that their ads are functional (e.g., polls or search engines).

Banners should not appear to be part of the E-Golf Deals content rather than an advertisement. (Blending is not allowed.)

Banners should be encased in a border. If borderless, a banner must contain the advertiser's name to signify that it is an ad banner, not content. (Again, blending is not allowed.)

Television and print advertising standards prohibit advertisers from issuing ads, infomercials or infotisements in such a manner that the viewer or reader believes the content is news, rather than advertising. E-Golf Deals follows the same policy.

E-Golf Deals approves or rejects all functionality or "look-and-feel" ad banners.

Ads may not have transparent backgrounds and may never blend into the screen content.

Ads may never use any of the E-Golf Deals' family-of-names to imply affiliation with or an endorsement by E-Golf Deals— unless such a relationship exists.
