What’s the difference between a “Vendor Profile” listing and an “Advertorial”?
Where do banner ads appear?
Banner ads rotate on different areas in HauntersDigest.com depending on your ad choice.
What do you mean when you say your banner ads “Rotate”?
“Rotating” banners are two or three banners that cycle throughout each ad slot when the page loads. Each time a reader loads a page, an ad will be shuffled through the available ad slot. Since there are multiple ads rotating in each slot, this means that you may not see your ad the first time you load a page. When the page is reloaded, the ad’s will be reshuffled.
Can I change my banner image / link / text midway through my campaign?
No. Once a advertisement has gone live, there will be no changes allowed.
Where do “Advertorials” appear?
Your advertorial will appear on the homepage of HauntersDigest.com inline with the other editorial content that visitors read daily. As the advertorial ages, it will move down the homepage like a regular blog post, eventually moving into the archives after approximately one week.
In addition to the homepage, your advertorial will also be published to the following allowing for greater exposure:
How long will my advertorial appear on HauntersDigest.com?
Forever. With advertorials, you will receive the most activity and clicks from the first week of your advertorial being published. As time goes by and your advertorial will continue to move into our archives, but it will remain in the archives forever! Advertorials are never deleted from HauntersDigest.com, which mean our readers will always be able to find it and that the SEO value of your link continues.
Does an advertorial on your site improve my rank in search engines?
Yes! While text and banner ads won’t bring you SEO value, advertorials include direct links that increase your site’s PageRank and will help you show up higher in search results.
Who writes the advertorial?
We do. The cost of your advertorial’s creation is included in your rate. You tell us the keywords that you want included and linked, what features and benefits of your products / services you want to discuss and we will use that to create your article.
Do I get to approve the advertorial before it’s posted?
No. This is where the “editorial” part comes in. We will create an article with all the keywords, links, features, benefits, and topics you specify, but we write the article.
Can I do a giveaway or some kind of promotion as part of my advertorial?
Yes! In fact, we encourage this! Linking to a giveaway on an advertiser’s website is a great way to generate traffic to the site. But we do not administer any giveaway promotions. We provide the links to your site, funneling potential clients to your site.
Can I do multiple advertorials?
Yes. Although the post is archived forever on HauntersDigest.com, you’re always welcome to run additional advertorials with updated information, new promotions, product / service announcements, etc…
