ABOUT: AD SPACE
We have numerous positions on our website that are available for the placement of advertising. Unlike most other websites, we do not sell our advertising space based on impressions or click-throughs. Instead, we do things fairly by relying on timeshare concepts. After all, what good is buying 10,000 impressions of your ad if the site is so busy you won't even manage to get your ad presented to every visitor on a single day, let alone expose them all repeatedly. Instead, we would rather sell you a timeframe in which your ad will be displayed as often as randomly possible, to as many people as randomly possible. We currently offer our ad space by the week or month only. Prices are adjusted weekly to reflect the site traffic, number of ad positions available, and the number fo sponsors participating.We hope to soon add Flash support to our advertising system.

Heavy Rotation: The system operates on a natural slot basis. Purchasing a block of time effective amounts to purchasing a single slot in the ad system billet. Heavy rotation is easily simulated by purchasing extra slots. Double slot heavy rotation receives a 15% discount, Triple slot or higher heavy rotation receives a 25% discount.
Weekly ads are changed every monday morning, and monthly ads are changed the first of the month.
Where will ads appear? All over the place. Obviously, they currently appear within the ARP professional section of the site. In about a month, they will be added to our mallfront as well, which on opening day will list nearly 100 different products for several vendors and retailers. Soon thereafter, they will also appear on our popular Cyberpunk 2020 and Bubblegum Crisis game sites. By summer, we will also ad appearances in our new auction engine, as well. By the end of the year, we will also be hosting an online "choose your path" game system, a webcomic network, and an online artist guild. As of January 2005, the site recives 5,000 unique visits per month and an average of 78,000 page views. While not a wide, flooded river, it certainly isn't a mere trickle, either.
ABOUT: AD SYSTEMS
We also develop advertising systems. Not every site is capable of signing up with a major advertising network or has the server technology available to support their own internal server-side ad rotation system. Therefore we have been developing numerous detailed variants of our own ad engine for use by third parties. And sometimes, those big networks or server-side rotators are just an outright hassle to deal with. We will be offering numerous inexpensive systems, simple to complex, priced at between $20 and $50. Watch this space for further details.
