Web Ads

The Calhoun Chronicle Online has been building strength since 2003. Ranked well with search engines, our site has been rapidly growing in “hits” – and as a respectable resource for our community.

Our web ads are divided into two main options: “by the page” or “on every page.”

A: Every Page Ads

Ads displayed on the left side of the Main Page are shown on every page within our entire web – currently nearly 300 pages and growing weekly. Every Page Ads are 140 pixels x 120 pixels, and can be doubled in height (140 x 240) for only $100 more.

3 months, every page = $200
6 months, every page = $360 (save 10%)

B: Single Page Ads

Ads displayed on the right hand side or bottom of the screen are By The Page Ads –shown only on the pages you select*.
Right Hand Ads are placed in order of arrival from top to bottom, and come in two sizes. Banner Ads are available at the bottom or top of a page, and only in one size.

1. Right Hand Block Ad (130 x 120)

3 months, 1 page = $100
3 months, 4 pages = $340 (save 15%)
6 months, 1 page = $180 (save 10%)
6 months, 4 pages = $600 (save 25%)

2. Right Hand Tower Ad (130 wide)

In order to flex with clients’ varying needs, we offer the Tower Ad, limited in width by pixels, but in length by graphic and text content instead. Towers can include a graphic 130 wide up to 240 high AND promotional text up to 150 words. Your ad text can contain a multitude of links to separate pages within your web site, or e-mail addresses within your business.

Because of their nature, Tower Ads are available only on certain pages: Around Calhoun County, This Week in History, The Community Calendar, 2005 Obituaries, and The Resource Room. Tower ads are placed at the top of the page, in order of arrival.

3 months, 1 page = $325
6 months, 1 page = $575 (save 10%)
3 months, 5 pages = $975 (save 40%)
6 months, 5 pages = $1170 (save 40%)

3. Banner Ads (385 x 45)

Banner Ads are available at the top or bottom of selected pages in our site.** We will work to accommodate clients who already have banner ads of a different size than our requirement.

3 months, 1 Page (Bottom) = $150
3 months, 1 Page (Top) = $300

* By The Page Ads not available on the Site’s Main Page. ** Banner Ads not available on the Main Page, Publisher’s Desk, or Off The Cuff.
