Classified Ad Guidelines
Here are guidelines for a classified ad:
- Line length. Two lines allowed of a maximum line length is 65 characters per line -- including spaces, URL, everything! See our examples at the bottom of this page.
- Text ad. These are text ads. They will show the same in our HTML e-mail edition as in our text e-mail edition. Tracking URLs are linked in the HTML version. About 13% of our subscribers subscribe to the text-only version.
- Location. Classified 2-line ads are placed together at the bottom of the e-mail newsletter content. Order of 2-line ads is determined solely by the how often that advertiser has advertised with us. We reward frequent advertisers. Ordering for several issues in advance will help your position.
- Limitation. You may place only one ad per issue for any one product or service.
- Focus. Our focus is on ads for products and services related to our Internet marketing, e-commerce focus. We may consider ads for products with a more diffuse target, but may also turn such ads down. We reject or accept ads according to our own discretion; all decisions are final. We do not accept ads for business opportunities, MLM, get-rich-quick schemes, gambling, adult sites, or any services paid for by lease.
- Honesty. The wording of any offer must be clear and honest. Hint: For best results, use attention-grabbing words to begin your ad.
- Click-Through Rate (CTR) will vary depending upon how targeted your offer is to our audience and how well your ad is written. A 0.25% CTR is possible, and some advertisers will substantially exceed that. We do not guarantee the CTR of your ad.
- Advance Payment. All ads are paid in advance. Longer-term advertisers may pay monthly on 3-month or longer invoices.
- Cancellations. If ads are cancelled before completion of the agreed upon number of ads purchased at discount price, the price for each ad already run reverts to the basic price without any discounts.
- Terminology. Though we call these 2-line ads "classified ads," we have no classifications under which they appear.
We take no more than five classified ads for each issue of Web Marketing Today (Free Edition), so please apply early.
