Free
We have 2 free programs:
Exchange for Card Distribution
We want this site to grow quickly, so we will offer you 10,000 banner impressions if you distribute a box of business cards to your customers, other locksmiths, etc.
To qualify, you must be able to distribute 1 card to each locksmith contact. You should not hand out multiple cards to individual locksmiths. Businesses that would benefit greatly from this would be a business that sends out a card in their magazine, with each order they pack and ship, or a company with a similar situation.
We estimate a box of cards to be approximately 820 cards, not a complete 1000. We will not count out an even 820, so you'll have to distribute your entire count.
We will mail the box of business cards to you.
Exchange for Banner Distribution
We will do an even swap of banner impressions. You can commit any amount. For instance, if you want to commit 5,000 banners on this site for 5,000 on your site.
Paid
Paid advertisements take priority over the free ones. These will be displayed with a higher weight and therefore will show more often than the free banners.
Advertising costs are based as follows:
| Number of Banner Views | Price | CPM (cost per 1000) | Cost Each Impression |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 000 | $20.00 | $20.00 | $0.020 |
| 2 500 | $47.50 | $19.00 | $0.019 |
| 5 000 | $90.00 | $18.00 | $0.018 |
| 10 000 | $170.00 | $17.00 | $0.017 |
| 25 000 | $400.00 | $16.00 | $0.016 |
| 50 000 | $700.00 | $14.00 | $0.014 |
| 100 000 | $1200.00 | $12.00 | $0.012 |
| 250 000 | $2500.00 | $10.00 | $0.010 |
