What kinds of ad formats do you accept?

Currently, we support the following types of ad formats:

Contextual:  Your ad is a word or group of words that are linked to a website/product within an article and/or post.

Non-Contextual Text:  Your ad is a link outside of an article (ex:  on a widget, or directly on the homepage, or on the sidebar or footer).

Contextual Images:  An image that is within an article.

Non-contextual Images:  An image that is placed outside of an article (ex:  in the footer, sidebar, etc).

Sponsored Post:  You provide us with an article and we publish it. The article must follow our editorial policy.

Sponsored Post (written by us):  We write an article about your business.  The article, along with its content (text, images) offers the product for purchase through an external site.

What kind of products/websites can I advertise?

Businesses must be located within a 50-mile radius of the Great Smoky Mountains.

What are your rates?

Our rates are very flexible and competitive.  At this stage, we do not have a self-serve system, so please contact us for any advertising inquiries.

As a general rule, the fees for contextual ads are the lowest, and the fees for non-contextual images ads are the highest.  For example, an image placed on the main sidebar on the site (guaranteeing its visibility on any post) would have a higher rate than a contextual link in a single article.  For sponsored posts, rates are flexible based on article length.  Volume discounts may also be applied.
