Ad Types and Positions

www.thismonthtexas offers several ad formats and numerous targeted page locations. Consult your regional TMT sales representative for a complete list of online opportunities and specific audience counts and targeting.

Top/Bottom Banner Ad:

This placement is available as a shared space on any TMT www.thismonthtexasw.com Web page. Up to five advertisers rotate randomly between the top and bottom position on a page, displaying each banner ad to 40% of the viewing traffic (20% in the top position and 20% in the bottom position). Advertisers also have the option of buying additional views, if available.

Side Box Ad:

Want a large, prominent ad but also want it to appear to 100% of all page visitors? A side box ad is the perfect option.

Side ads randomly change position with each visit (or page refresh) but are always visible to every viewer of the page.

Most pages have no more than four side ads, meaning you are in the top position 25% of the time.

Unique Page Placement

Niche Topic Pages: Let potential customers know you are a leader in a given niche by advertising in one of our new micro niche pages.

When you run an ad in a given niche your ad will appear when a user searches our SourceBook directory of research companies for suppliers specializing in that specific topic.

In addition, it will appear whenever a user conducts the same search in our article section. As an added bonus, your ad will appear on the related subtopic micro pages.

City, State and Country Directory Results Pages:

In addition to the niche topic advertising positions, you now also have the option of advertising whenever a user searches our directories for a specific city, state or country. By geo-targeting your ad you reach a highly specified audience that is ready to purchase, at a fraction of broader advertising placements.

Additional Page placements are also available.
