Ad sizes, placement locations, and rates for all Weekly Sponsorship Packages are listed below:

720x90 Leaderboard - $90
This standard size runs on both the home page, article pages, as well as utility pages. The monthly sponsorship rate is $90 (ads rotate through the inventory on all pages).

336x280 Content Rectangle - $110
Advertising embedded within articles is considered a premium advertising location and usually delivers the highest click through rates. The monthly sponsorship rate for Content Rectangle placement is $110 (ads rotate through the inventory on all article pages).

120x600 Skyscraper - $90
Standard skyscraper ads provide optimal message real estate for both image advertising and click through. The monthly sponsorship rate for Skyscraper placement is $90 (ads rotate through the inventory on all pages).

This special advertising component is placed at the bottom of all pages on the site (excluding Forums).
