This unique and highly targeted advertising opportunity is perfect for organizations looking to reach the thousands of Christians who are visiting Spotlight Ad Network sites on a daily basis. The Spotlight program is not a banner ad program, nor is it a program where thousands of organizations make up the advertising mix. Only 7 advertising partners are accepted per month (and we are picky about who and what we allow into the Spotlight program).
Only a single ad will be shown for each page viewed. Essentially, buying a month in the Spotlight gives you a premium ad spot location and 14% of all traffic that is visiting the Ad Network sites (including eBible.com). If you want to double up, then by all means you can take two spots which will give you 28% of all the traffic.
By limiting the ad spots to only 7 per month, the Spotlight is delivering our advertising partners with an outstanding opportunity to reach a targeted Christian audience with their marketing message in an uncluttered and controlled environment. The premium ad space that we dedicate to Spotlight ads are far more visible and valuable than standard banner or single text ads that are quickly lost amongst the dozens of others ads that most programs are built around.
So if you have a time sensitive communication, conference, new product launch or other event that you need to get in front of a world wide Christian audience, place and ad with Spotlight Ad Network for strong value, low cost and high visibility advertising option.
While there aren’t many formal rules of the program, we do reserve the right to refuse any advertising placement submitted. One criteria that is important to the program is that the ads need to be relevant to a Christian audience.
As you can see by looking at the 3 month Ad placement grid, not all of the spots are available. As soon as an advertiser selects the spot that they would like, that spot is no longer available, and that advertiser begins a very short 4 step process to customize what their Spotlight Ad spot looks like. This whole process will only take a minute or two as long as you have your advertising copy (up to 50 characters) and the appropriate linking information for the ad in addition to a product or company image (120 pixels by 90 pixels).
Since the Spotlight is not a pay per click or pay per impression advertising program, pricing works a little differently. We charge a flat fee per ad that is based solely on the traffic that visits the sites that make up the Spotlight Ad Network. If you were to compare the CPM for an ad placed into the Spotlight Ad Network, you would find that there is excellent value in a Spotlight ad placement.
With a very strong amount of growth occurring for Spotlight Ad Network sites, we anticipate that pricing will too increase as the value of communicating a message to a growing audience becomes increasingly more valuable to any advertiser. While there are 3 months of ad spots for you to view that contain pricing, we reserve the right to adjust the ad pricing as we see fit based on updated traffic statistics. So if you want to lock in several ads at today’s pricing, we recommend that you do it now.
Each of the 7 advertisements will be in rotation on the sites that make up the Spotlight Ad Network (including eBible.com). So, essentially whenever a new search is done, page refreshed etc. one of the 7 ads will be featured and will follow a random rotation ensuring an equal # of ad impressions over the course of that month. The graphic component of each ad is 120 pixels wide by 90 pixels tall and also allow for up to 50 characters of text to accompany the image. Each ad will be located in premium screen real-estate (top right hand portion of the browser windows of each Spotlight Ad Network site.) Since there are no other image based advertisements on any of the Spotlight Ad Network sites, you can be sure that for each visit to one of the network sites, you are sending a clean and powerful marketing message to your target audience.
