How Sponsoring Works

Sponsor messages are short, three line messages on the bottom of a page that often include hyperlinks to other sites. Sponsoring is inexpensive, and is highly attractive to budget conscious companies that want to be noticed. By sponsoring a page, you are broadcasting your name to a target audience.


Our Plans

Our sponsoring plans are simple: they are based on a flat monthly rate. You, the sponsorer, pay a fixed amount to sponsor a page for one, two, or three months. You may view the amount of hits each page receives by viewing our log files.


Pricing

The charts below show the prices. (The price for each page may also be viewed by clicking the link below the sponsor box of that page.) For a complete price list of all pages in our site, see our advertising and sponsoring price page. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

The main pages (Image Gallery, Glossary, Mineral Resources, Search, What's New, and Site Links) are $4 a month. (Prices are lower multiple months.)

The mineral information pages (i.e. Calcite, Fluorite, Garnet) range from $1 to $5 a month, depending on popularity.
