Internet Business Pages Banner Advertising

Compare with your advertising costs for print or broadcasting media which can give no guarantees that your audience will ever see your advertisement. Internet Business Pages guarantees that your ad will be viewed as it will be placed in a highly visible location at the top of our pages. In addition, users will be a click away from visiting your web pages.

Available Packages

Advertising space is available on any of the Internet Business Pages pages, including the home-page, yellow pages, alphabetic index, as well as the error pages. Costs are based on Ads Served which are the downloading of an advertisement image by the user's software.

Online Statistics

Internet Business Pages advertisers are assigned a User-Id and Password and have access to daily statistics from our server 24 hours/day. The reports include information about HTML Insertions, Ads Served, and Click rates on all banners. They help advertisers gauge the effectiveness of their ad images. Clicks are how many people clicked on an advertisement to visit the associated site.

For more information, a sample advertising report is available in addition to the online documentation.

Technical Specifications

An ad image is approximately 475 pixels wide and 75 pixels high or smaller. We recommend GIF images so they can be interlaced. Animated GIFs are also welcome. The image should have a approximate total size of 10240 bytes or less so visitors don't wait long to see the ad. Included along with the image must be an ALT string of 60 characters or less that will be displayed if the image is not loaded. In addition, a URL is needed, to which a user will be transfered when they click on the ad.
