Website (AMSAT.ORG) Advertising Options
AMSAT.ORG offers three distinct advertising options (technical specifications and sizes are provided below):
- Side Bar Ad: The side bar ads are located on left side of the Home Page. The differences between the standard and the side bar ads are size and location. These can be either HTML or graphical. AMSAT may limit side bar ads and these will have the highest rate and are considered "Above the Fold".
- Footer Ad Space: Footer ad space is available on the bottom of most pages. There is one fixed footer ad space at the bottom of the Home Page and there is space for one or more on other pages. Footer Ads may be HTML or graphical.
- Sponsorship Text Links: Individual pages may be sponsored by advertisers, and will carry a "Sponsored By" notice in 14pt type with a text link to the sponsor's web site.
Website Advertising Programs
AMSAT.ORG offers two types of advertising programs and can offer options to customize an advertising program to meet your needs and budget. All advertising programs are based on monthly campaigns, with a 3-month minimum commitment.
Fixed Real Estate (FRE)
With this program, your ad will be displayed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the page(s) you choose. This is the best way to promote brand awareness and increase visibility since you "own" a specific location and are considered the page sponsor. With a Fixed Real Estate Program you can choose either of these three advertising options:
a) Side Bar Ad located in the left side of the home page
b) Footer Ad Space located in the bottom footer of the Home Page
c) Sponsorship Text Link location will be jointly decided to be appropriate with page content.
Please contact us using our contact form for pricing information!
Run of Site (ROS)
With this program, your ad will be displayed on numerous pages throughout the site on a rotating basis. There is one advertising option using this program:
a) Footer Ad located at the bottom of the page, except for the Home Page
