Advertising Policies on The Houseparent Network

Advertising Policies

One of my main goals for this site is to make it affordable to all facilities and users. I also realize that as the site grows and with the high rankings is has on search engines, that space can become quite valuable. I have come up with the policies for advertising with those two points in mind.

Points to know about The Houseparent Network
The site is growing everyday. I started the site in January 2001. I am currently exceeding 100,000 total page views every month.

On almost every search engine and directory I am listed on if you search with the key word houseparent, The Houseparent Network is number one.

I am currently listed on all the major search engines to include: Yahoo, MSN, Excite, AOL, Netscape, NBCi, Crosssearch, GoTo.com, AltaVista, Lycos, etc.

Additionally we are ranked very high for other keywords i.e. Christian Jobs, parenting resources, etc.

About a third of my hits are from people outside of child care and I am reaching and informing new people about child care.

I am currently offering the following advertising:

Level 1 - 135X55 Pixel button on Home page - 14 Positions - $300.00 per year

Level 2 - 135X55 Pixel Button on all Direct Care Job Listings pages - 14 Positions. $300.00 per year

Level 3 - 135X55 Pixel Button on Directory Main Page or Job Listings Main Page 26 Total Positions $125.00 per year

Level 4 - 135X55 Pixel Button on "Administrative/Support Positions" and "Singles Only" Pages or Other Links page - Currently 36 total positions. $100.00 per year

I will consider and may negotiate other forms of advertising

PRICES ARE SUBJECTO TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME.

If you wish to have a larger area you can combine multiple button spaces. Example: Purchase two buttons and combine for a 135X110 pixel button or a 270X55 Pixel Banner. Purchase 4 buttons for a 270X110 Pixel Banner or a 540X55 Pixel Banner. Six for a 405X110 Pixel Banner or all eight for a 540X110 Banner.

I will not accept any advertising from sites that are not consistent with the themes of The Houseparent Network or my personal values, i.e. pornography, or any illegal activity.

I reserve the right to reject any request for advertising

The site is growing everyday and there is a very good chance you will receive a good response to your advertising, however I cannot guarantee any results.

I do guarantee that your button will be posted within 24 hours of receiving your payment and that your button will remain active for the agreed upon period of time, unless you request it be removed in writing sooner.
*There will however be no refunds for early withdraws of advertising.

Please E-mail me at webmaster@houseparent.net to further discuss advertising.
