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.
(The popularity of each mineral information page is shown
in the "popularity field" of each page. An example is shown below.)
