Advertising with the Merchants' Guild is an easy and affordable
way to get your site some action! We offer two type of banners at present:
- Top Banners appear at the top of every page on the site.
Top Banners cost only $7/month and should be 234x60 pixels in size. Banners may be animated, and must be under 60k in file size.
- Footer Banners appear at the bottom of the main page and every auction page.
Footer Banners cost $10/month and should be 728x90 pixels in size. Banners may be animated, and must be under 100k in file size.
We are currently taking only 12 Top Banners and 8 Footer Banners
per month at this time in order to ensure that every advertiser gets good exposure. Banners
may be reserved up to one year in advance, but only 3 months at a time in order to allow
other advertisers a chance to get seen.
Additional Features
In addition to having your banner hosted and visible on our auction site, we also offer reporting of your ad banner performance.
At any time, you are able to track the views, impressions and click-throughs for your ad
banners, and at the end of each month you can receive a detailed report about the daily
performance of your banners. Please note these features may be by request only until we
are able to fully integrate the banner system with the website.
Grand Opening Special!
Reserve an ad banner for September and get exposure through August 30th at no cost!
Reserving your ad banner is easy. Just fill out the form below, which will automatically
generate an easy email for you to send to the Guildmaster. After receiving your request, we will
reserve your slots and send payment information. Payment must be received and confirmed before
the banner starts to run. Banners may run for up to 3 months at a time, and banner space may not be reserved again until
after your current banner's run is completed, to allow other sites to advertise.
Depending on how many ads are already reserved, the desired month may not be available.
We will contact you if this is the case, and try to arrange a new starting month. Any month selected
prior to the current month will be set for next year. Selecting the current month will begin the ad ASAP.
Prices are not prorated.
If you have any questions, please Contact Us and we'll be
happy to reply quickly!
** Pressing the Submit button will generate an email to the Guildmaster for you. If you
do not have the banner image hosted online, please feel free to include it as an
attachment to the email instead.
