KnoxViews.com is pleased to offer advertising for commercial, non-profit, and political campaign/advocacy clients. Your ads are displayed on all KnoxViews.com content pages, and reach an upscale audience of active readers seeking news, views, and informed discussion of current events affecting the community and beyond.

There are two types of ads at KnoxViews: Managed ads and Blogads Network ads. Managed ads provide more flexibility and prominent placement. We offer the following formats:

• 728 x 90 pixels ("leaderboard", runs across the top of every page)

• 120 x 600 pixels ("skyscraper", runs in the top right column of every page)

• 120 x 240 pixels ("vertical banner", runs in the top right column of every page)

• 486 x 60 pixels ("banner", runs on KnoxViews RSS news feeds only and offered only as an optional add-on to the "leaderboard" ad at this time)

All ads are graphic image format. Any text must be incorporated into the ad graphic. Graphic images must be in a standard format such as JPG or GIF. Flash ads are not currently supported. If you need assistance creating the graphic, we can create it using your existing logo graphic for a fixed fee depending on your requirements.

Managed ads are priced per 1000 impressions (CPM rate). How long your ad runs depends on how many impressions you purchase, how many other ads are running (active ads are distributed evenly among page views), and the current site traffic. Currently, 30,000 impressions would run for approx. one week if no other ads are running. "Leaderboard" banner ads are the most visible and more likely to generate the highest click-through rates from interested prospects.
