Visitor Quality
More important than any traffic/user statistic you may read is the quality of traffic. Because of our strict category enforcement, active IP and Geo Location blocking, as well as human reviewed content, we are confident of the quality of our traffic. We know that 90% or more of our traffic is U.S. based, an exceedingly high percentage not matched by any competitor. No other competing, college focused listing service can offer this quality of traffic. We also do not hesitate to block ads that are questionable.
Advertising Duration
Advertisers often ask how long an ad will stay on the site (campaign duration). Of course that depends on how many impressions you buy. 25,000 impressions will not last very long. 100,000 impressions will last longer. Your targets will also impact your banner duration. We do not sell advertising on a daily, weekly, monthly or other time basis. All advertising is sold only on an impression basis. Advertising is only effective if repeated over time, multiple impressions targeted correctly will cover a greater time span.
Advertising Rotation
Banner advertising on CollegeClassifieds.com is designed to achieve the maximum impact. Banners within each active ad zone are rotated randomly at all times, even during unique user sessions. Each display of your ad counts as one impression, regardless of the number of times shown to a single visitor during an active session.
Advertising Targets
CollegeClassifieds.com allows you to target your banner as precisely as necessary by selecting individual college campuses, entire states, or multiple markets using various criteria. You can also select a run of site option. Either way, you are in control of your advertising campaign. You will find the process very easy to use.
Advertising Changes
Once you have placed your order, there are no refunds. However, if you need to replace the original art work (image file) with a revised version, you can change the image on an as needed, but infrequent basis. In other words, we're happy to change your ad image once or twice, but not every day, or every week. At a future point in time, we will add options so that you can swap the ad images yourself.
