VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Advertising on VoyForums: Placing your own Banner

Banner Location/Placement

Global banners: How would you like every visitor to VoyForums to have a chance to see your ad? We can set-up your banner to be displayed in every ad location of VoyForums. This can be very useful to drive traffic to your forum or business.
Targetted banners: Want to focus on a targetted audience? VoyForums is capable of targetting just to the forums or area(s) of your choice on www.voy.com.
Your own forum: If you want to replace the VoyForums ads in any forum, or just your own, with your own banner, now you can.
Other areas of www.voy.com: We can target to any of our own pages as well; for instance, you may wish to target users visiting our help section or in the configuration area. We are willing to work with you.
www.VoyCabulary.com: VoyCabulary is another free service from Voyager Info-Systems - it is a reference/educational service and was placed by Yahoo^(tm) as one of the Top 50 sites of 1998. It boasts an incredibly high clickthrough rate (of 3% to 4%) -- visit the site and see if you wish to consider advertising on VoyCabulary.com.

Banner Types

Most banner ads are graphic images, sized 480x60, and in JPEG or GIF format. However, VoyForums ad-software can also serve HTML, Text, or RichMedia banners.
There are a couple examples of HTML banners you may already have seen; the Red Cross & Blood Donations banner is one example, and the brown banner asking if you want to advertise on VoyForums is also entirely Text/HTML -- it may have brought you to this page!

How to get started

The first step is to get us information on your banner, where you want to put it, and where it will take the users.
Please contact us from the VoyForums Exchange with this information.

Please include the following in your e-mail, it will help us address your needs:
· Details on the banner itself (include the banner in your e-mail if possible, and information on the subject matter)
· What site the banner links to (if any)
· Where you would like it to appear
· The amount of exposure you would like to receive
· Any other information you think may be useful

We look forward to seeing your ideas. Once we receive the information we will reply with a rate card.

Payment options

Although this is handled later, we accept payment via Credit Card (Visa/MC), check, money-order, and even through our PayPal account. Also, our rate card includes substantial discounts for ordering in bulk.

Banner Design

If you don't have a banner of your own, we also offer banner design services. Just drop us a note to get the ball rolling and we will see what we can do -- the more of your ideas and materials you provide, the better it will be for us to come up with something to suit you and your visitors.
