2.Where can I see prices for different time periods and ad sizes?

Check out our order page to get up-to-date pricing info!

3.How can I make sure my ads start on a specific day?

If you're buying one of the ad sizes listed under the "Banner" or "Adverpost" headers on our order page, select "Choose start dates" from the "Step 2 - Duration" box on the left side of the page. Use the calendar that appears to schedule your campaign's run dates. 

If you're buying a "Ads" unit, make all of your selections on the order page and then click "Continue" in the bottom right corner of the page. On the following page, scroll down to step 6 ("Set a fixed start date for your ad?") and check the box named "Select start date". Use the calendar that appears to schedule your campaign's run dates.

4.Do you offer CPM, CPA or CPC based advertising?

5.Do Ads improve my search engine rankings (SEO)?

No. Ads automatically routes any clicks on your ad through our system so we can keep track of each ad's performance. This cannot be turned off, so links back to your own site will not be recorded by Google or other search engines.

6.Can I use HTML and hyperlinks in my ads?

Simple HTML (bold, italics, underlining, and hyperlinks) is allowed and encouraged in all of our ad units that include a text portion! Adding some variety to your ad text helps attract readers' eyes to your ad. Multiple hyperlinks can also help you link specific words to unique landing pages on your site, creating a more relevant experience for users who click on the ad. Highlight a word or phrase in your text and then use the buttons at the top of the text box when creating your ad to insert these formatting options.

You won't be able to use HTML to change the font, color, alignment, or other features of your ad text. Some formatting choices for ads are determined by each individual blogger in our network, to allow bloggers to make sure that the ads on their site mesh with their overall site design. The preview you see while uploading your image and text reflects our default settings, and some formatting options may look different on different blogs.
