About Banner Ads
Currently we offer 1 type of Banner Advertisement, Banner Ads appear at the top of almost all CADO pages. In order to have your banner displayed at the top of the CADO pages you must provide a banner and purchase a banner slot. Each banner slot cost $50.00 for a 30 day period. So if you purchase one slot your banner will be displayed at the top of almost all of the CADO
pages and be rotated with all other banners. We limit the banners when needed to make sure each banner is displayed at least 5,000 times during the 30 day period. We have not had to do this. See stats below.
- The first day the banner is placed into rotation is free.
- The 30 day period begins with the first full day.
- With the online payment methods to the right you will receive a receipt by email.
- You may cancel your banner at any time and receive a refund for the unused period by emailing us a request.
- If you do not have a banner here is a free site where you can create a banner.
