How do the adverts work?

Advertisements are in the form of banner adverts, linked direct
to your web site to increase your site visitors. For example, click
on any advert on the left of your screen.

Home & Search Pages
These are the highest traffic levels on the site and all advertisers
will appear on a rotation basis with the frequency depending on
the rate paid.

Search Sensitive Adverts
Advertisements will also appear when users select your Product
or Service in your Town. For example, selecting Milton Keynes
from the main menu and searching Accountants.

This combination provides high exposure during general use and maximum exposure at the key point of information delivery.

Advertising Rates

Effective brand building for your company requires long term
exposure to the right marketplace.

After an initial £70 +VAT set up and administration charge, prices

With no minimum term or ‘lock in’ period your advertising can be as flexible as you want. Payable by monthly standing order to spread
the flow of your budget, six monthly invoice in advance or as an
