Banner Ad Guidelines

Banner Ad Creation: Advertisers must provide their own banner ad for placement on this website. At the present time Ohioans for Concealed Carry (hereafter known as "OFCC") does not offer a professional ad creation service. Some sites such as Quick Banner can create a Web ad for a nominal fee while others such as Ad Designer offer free online creation of an ad. If needed, however, OFCC can create a very basic banner-type ad for an additional fee of $35. Our basic ad is a non-animated, text-based, solid color background ad containing ad text provided either by the advertiser or OFCC (if preferred).

Banner ads must be in gif or jpg format and can be animated. Advertiser must provide link for ad. Banner Ads must be no more than 468 pixels wide by 60 pixels deep and be 10,000 bytes (10K) or smaller.

Ad Placement: Banner ads appear at the top of each page below the main navigation and randomly rotate with other banner ads scheduled for the same page position, including ads for the same advertiser and ads for other advertisers.

Ad Design and Content Approval: All ads are subject to approval by OFCC.

Other Ad Options: OFCC is willing to work with potential advertisers on possible ad sizes and ad options different from whatwe currently offer. Please contact us with your proposal using the link at the bottom of this page and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Advertising Terms/Payment

The following terms and conditions shall be deemed incorporated into agreement between Ohioans For Concealed carry (hereafter known as "OFCC") and the Advertiser. The placement of Advertiser's ad on site affirms Advertiser has read and understood the below terms:

Ad Impression Definition: Some of OFCC's ad offerings may be priced based on guaranteed number of ad views or what on the Internet is commonly called ad impressions. Advertising impressions are based on Web page views. An ad page view is counted when the page on which an ad is located is served to a site visitor. This metric is used by many sites since it is not possible for a Web site to track ad impressions from cached images that are on a users computer, or ad impressions from services that cache Web sites. Such impressions would be over and above ads served by a site.

Ad Payment: Payment, in U.S. dollars, is due within THREE DAYS after ad is placed on site. Unless prior payment arrangements have been agreed upon by OFCC and advertiser, OFCC reserves right to remove non-paying ads after the three day period. Ad Fees are non-refundable. Payment terms negotiable for established accounts. Payment of ad bill using VISA or MasterCard Credit Card can be made securely and safely via PayPal.

Ad Costs: Banner ads can be purchase for $5.00 per 1,000 ad impressions. This web site delivers an average of 4,000 page views per day.
