Questions and Answers
What if a sponsor doesn't get 50,000 page views in a month?
Because we
guarantee sponsors 50,000 page views, we will continue to run ads beyond a month until the 50,000 number is reached.
What if a sponsor goes over 50,000 page views in a month?
This is a more likely scenario
that going under in a month. The great news is that the sponsor's ad remains up for an entire month, even if page views are double or triple the 50,000 number. Sponsors do not pay a penny more than the $1,200 a month.
Are sponsors allowed access to the page view statistics?
Yes. Sponsors are given a user name and password to access banner statistics.
How is payment handled?
Because of the extraordinary sponsor
rates and bonuses offered by Animation Artist Magazine, for the Playland area, payment in advance of the sponsorship campaign is required. Payment must be received 10 days prior to the ad campaign beginning.
What if I want to buy more than one month at a time?
Sponsors are allowed to buy multiple months. Multiple month purchases must run immediately one right after the other. Even though advertising rates will rise
as the growth of Animation Artist Magazine (and the Playland) continues to surge, you will be able to lock into the price advertised when paying for multiple months in advance!
Am I the exclusive sponsor when signing up for this program?
Yes! No other sponsors are allowed to advertise on any Playland pages during the month of your sponsorship.
Can I rotate my own banners throughout the Playland site?
Yes! As long as the banners are all for the exact same service/product you may have up to four different banners rotating throughout the Playland area for
the entire month of your sponsorship.
If I buy multiple months, can I advertise a different product/service every month?
Yes! Let's say that you bought an entire year of advertising in the Animation Artist
Playland area. First you'd lock into the $1,200 price for every month of the year. You'd pay $14,400 in advance, thus avoiding any rate increasing as the Playland area continues to expand (remember, you are placed on
every
page in the Playland, including new pages that are added on a regular basis). Every month you are allowed to place up to four different banner ads rotating throughout the area as long as those banners are all advertising the same product or service. At the end of every month you are allowed to change those banners even if it is a different product or service!
Can I purchase more than a year's block at one time?
No. A year is the maximum you can purchase at one time.
What months are currently available?
Because the Animation Artist Playland just
opened (September 22) - as of September 22 all months for this year and next year are open. Campaigns start on the first of every month (i.e. October 1, 1999) and end on the last day of the month.
How do the bonuses work?
On the front page of Animation Artist Playland, you are given a 35-word text description that goes under the "About the Sponsor" heading. This stays there for the duration of your
sponsorship. A link to the product/service page of your choice is provided from here. In addition, every week your business name (with a link) is listed in the weekly Animation Artist email newsletter as the
Playland sponsor. This not only gives you additional exposure, but keeps working after your sponsorship ends since the email newsletters are archived and always publicly accessible!
Why is the price so good?
The publisher of Animation Artist Magazine, Joe Tracy, is also the author of three books including Web Marketing Applied
which hits bookstores on December 1, 1999. He is committed to helping other businesses and Webmasters get maximum exposure for an outstanding price, thus giving even small businesses an equal opportunity to gain exposure through Web advertising. Because of this commitment Joe Tracy doesn't follow formulas that cut off ads when they reach a specific number of exposures. He also doesn't force ads into rotation with other advertisers (profit cramming). By basing advertising on an exclusive monthly plan (with a minimum exposure guarantee), you could get a ton of extra exposures at no additional cost. We don't penalize advertisers for enjoying some additional success.
