Advertising and donations
1. The adverts on the site are all 125 pixels by 125 pixels - if you have one ready you are ready to go. If you want us to help you create one just email us.
2. With your advert ready, click on one of the red and white Advertise Here buttons in the column to the right. The buttons at the bottom are cheaper since they are less visible.
3. Register with the Addiply advertising service we use to display the adverts (you need to give your details, and you will be asked to confirm your email address), upload your 125x125 advert and you need to credit your Paypal account with the appropriate amount. You then select Bilingual Education Exchange from the advertiser network in Addiply and choose which advertising option you want.
4. We will receive notification of your advert and can then approve it so it is displayed on the BEE site.
5. You may find that all the advertising space is currently full. If so, you can outbid the current advertisers so that your ad takes precedence. You'll find full information on how bidding works through the Addiply system by clicking here.
But what do you get for your money?
- One click on the advert takes readers through to your own website
- Your advert is displayed on every page of the site
- A simple text link with your company name beneath the advert
- Each week we update the links page to include a permanent link to all advertisers both past and present, and the post also appears on our Facebook page.
- Current advertisers are also included in the BEE email newsletter that goes out to more than 200 subscribers. You will also see a monthly mention on our Facebook page with over 140 fans.
- Measurement tools within your Addiply account to see how often your advert has been displayed and the number of times it has been clicked
- Update your advert whenever you want
Some simple tips
- Clear bold images work best, with a simple message
- If there is room include a telephone number on the advert so people can contact you direct
- Keep the file size to less than 40k otherwise it will take a long time to load on the site
How many times can you expect your advert to be displayed?
- Click on the Advertise Here button and you will see an estimation of the number of views in this past week
- Your advert is displayed every time a page is viewed on the site
We hope the advertising service is clear, simple to navigate and helps put you in control, giving you more time to concentrate on handling enquiries from interested readers who click through from BEE.
If you want to advertise for a full 6 or 12 months, or have any questions, please feel free to send us an email.
