Targeted Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgendered Viewers

ChristianGays.com now has over 5,000 pages of Articles and Resources, attracting a huge international audience. We are at the top of all the Search Engines and are generating, on average, about 12,000 unique visitors per month, almost exclusively gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, intersexed and transgendered people, who are viewing an average of 30,000 pages. Since our inception in March 2000 our stats have grown steadily every month.

Google has ranked our Home Page as 5 (extremely high in importance).


Promotion With My Own Subscribers

I have a very large subscriber base from almost every country in the world, to which I send Newsletters, usually once or twice a week. I will promote at least one advertised website per Newsletter.


Surrounding Ads Will Be Chosen Carefully

All ads will be positioned for maximum appeal.

I will try to avoid placing any ads for direct competitors while your ad is running.

I will only accept ads which are GLBT specific, ads which I believe my visitors will be interested in viewing, and I will not accept any ads which have "adult" content.


Track Your Own Statistics

Once registered, you will be given the URL to a page that will detail the date, time and IP's of the visitors who have clicked through to your website, so that you can see how effective your ad is at all times.


No Risk

Your ad will be placed on the website for your approval before you are invoiced. We will continue to work with you until you are completely satisfied with the finished ad.


Stability

MAP Enterprises, parent company of ChristianGays.com, is a small "family-run" company with very little overhead and a great passion to reach out to our community. We were established in March 2000 and have grown exponentially over the past seven years. We expect to be in business for a long time.


Cost Factors

There are many options to choose from for every budget.

Where Should You Place Your Ad?    Right or Left Side or Top of Page?

The right side of the page, and particularly the top four positions (under the CG.com ads) has the advantage of being visible as soon as someone comes to the ChristianGays.com website, and the ads are wider than on the left side.

The ads on the left side are smaller, and a visitor has to scroll down to see them, but they are visible on EVERY page of the website. Look to the left and you will see these ads on this page, and every page. This is a distinct advantage over the ads on the right side of the page, which are only visible on the Home page.

If you prefer to have a larger ad, you may choose the top of any page on the website (except the Home Page) as at the top of this page.

Tip: The animated ads always do better than the static images.

Size of Ads

Ads for the left column (under the navigation links) must be 130 px wide.

Ads for the right column must be 175 px wide.

Height of the ads can be 50, 100, 150 or 200 px.

File size must not exceed 20 KB per 50 px of height.

Ads for the top of one page (as shown at the top of this page) may be up to 613 px wide by 50 or 100 px high. You may choose any available page.

Price Structure

Introductory Offer - Ending Soon - BOOK NOW!

I will design your ad for just $40 U.S. ($45 CAD) or you may provide your own ad according to our specifications.

The design fee is waived if you wish to pay for one year in advance.

Pricing is based on a 50 px high ad with one message, and multiples of this equation, as shown in the tables below.


Option A

You may choose either $10 U.S./mo ($12 CAD) for unlimited click-thru's, in which case your ad runs for exactly one month, whether you get 10 or 1000 click-thru's.


Option B

If you think that your website may not generate a lot of business, then you may be wiser to go with $10 U.S. ($12 CAD) per 100 click-thru's.

If you get a lot of visitors, then your ad could be removed after a couple of weeks, and you should probably switch to paying monthly, but if you don't have very many click-thru's, then the ad will remain for as long as it takes to get you 100 visitors, even if it takes several months.

Payment

You will be invoiced through PayPal, only after you are satisfied with the ad. Payment through PayPal is the only payment method accepted.

What is PayPal? PayPal is a service that is free for you (I pay on my end) to send money electronically from your bank account or your credit card. Click Here to learn more about PayPal and/or to set up an account.

In three weeks you will be notified that your ad is up for renewal in seven days. If the invoice is paid within the seven days, the ad will remain on the website. If it is not paid, the ad will be removed the day after your due date. As long as the ad is paid each month, you will continue to receive invoices, seven days before your due date.

If the ad is removed after the due date because of non-payment, but you do wish to continue with it, there will be a nominal fee of $10 to cover the time involved that was expended to remove the ad, and now more time to replace it.

If you prefer to pay in advance, you may request an invoice for as many months as you want, up to one year. As mentioned above, if you pay in advance for one year, the design fee is waived.

If the website should go down for any reason that extends more than 24 hours, your due date will be extended by at least twice the amount of time that the website was down. Normally I just extend your due date by an extra month.

Premium Positioning of Ads

There are no guarantees as to the positioning of your ad, except whether it will be on the left or right side of the page, and it may be moved up or down from time to time, however, you may secure a guaranteed position for a premium.

Left or Right Side of the Page - Under the links on the left side and under the ChristianGays.com ads on the right side

Position #1 - $100/mo ($115 CAD)
Position #2 - $75/mo ($85 CAD)
Position #3 - $50/mo ($60 CAD)
Position #4 - $25/mo ($30 CAD)

as available.

These premiums are based on a 50 px high ad. For 100 px high ads, combine the cost of the two consecutive positions that you wish to occupy, and then reduce the price by $25 U.S. ($30 CAD)

Example A: a 100 px high ad occupying positions #1 and #2 would pay a premium of $100 plus $75 minus $25 discount = $150

Example B: a 100 px high ad occupying positions #2 and #3 would pay a premium of $75 plus $50 minus $25 discount = $100

Example C: a 100 px high ad occupying positions #3 and #4 would pay a premium of $50 plus $25 minus $25 discount = $50

This Premium is waived, and your position guaranteed for the third month, if you pay for three months in advance. i.e pay the premium for two months and get the third month's premium for free.

Note: Once your ad is designed, is on the website, has been approved by you and paid for, any future changes to the ad will incur another "design charge".

Please contact Mary Pearson to arrange for your ad.
