Thanks for the information. Any chance you could tell me how long your agreement runs for a typical banner ad contract? And some idea of cost for you? PM if you like. The cost is not a secret. The affiliated newspaper site in erie charged per impression. They are at URL: ge2.us.publicus.com Their fee was $15 per thousand. The banner was in rotation so it took about a month to use the 10,000 impressions I payed for. Here is a copy of an emal towrds the end: "From: "Lynn Case" <lcase@epix.net> Reply-To: "Lynn Case" <lcase@epix.net> Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 15:48:50 -0500 To: "Glenn D. Rudolph" <grudolph@zoominternet.net> Subject: banner ad on GoErie.com Glenn: I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know that the banner ad will expire after Sunday. We're at 8,746 impressions of 10,000. You're click thru rate is great! Your yield per 1000 is currently 5.35 ( national average is between 1.5-2.5 yield per 1000.) Please let me know if you would be interested in continuing the ad. If you.. we can talk about a budget and plan. Thanks and have a great weekend! Lynn" Stargate actually gave me a far better response. This was their fee schedule but they just5 placed me on their three ISP home pages for a month for $600.00 "Dear Mr. Rudolph, First, thank you for your interest in advertising through Stargate's home page! We have various options for you to choose from.

I do not have a clue if I paid too much, too little or just right. I do know I now have more than 2000 subscirbers to my email list so it was worth it to me. My target audience was in my market areas although one can get to any site from anywhere in the world. No one would have a desire to go to an Erie news site or the local ISP sites unless they were from this area.
