SLAdS - Second Life Advertising Solutions will promote your Second Life business at a price anyone can afford whether you're just starting out, or already one of the big name stores .... Because YOU set the price.

How does this work? Well it's simple. We have two different methods.

Per Impression Ad Run
You tell us how many times you want your ad to be seen (this is called an impression) and we charge you just 1L for each impression. Each time a visitor views the website while your ad is showing we count that as an impression. Want your ad to be seen 1000 times? You pay 1000L.... 2000 times = 2000L... etc. You will receive an automated email when your ad is about to reach it's limit in impressions so that you can choose whether or not to renew your ad.

Weekly Ad Run
This is a flat rate run and frankly the best cost for a business just starting out and not prepared to spend too much on advertising. The ad run starts on a Monday morning and runs until the next Sunday night. Each day your banner ad will be shown to 25 of our visitors (25 impressions) for a flat rate of 175L per week. You can choose to pay for the ad run for a minimum of two weeks or a maximum of 8 weeks or any number in between. And you will be notified personally by Allana Dion by email when your time is about to run out so that you can choose whether or not to renew your ad.

We count impressions not as "hits" the way other websites do. We count impressions by counting each unique visitor, each new person per day. So when we say 25 impressions ... we mean 25 people will see your ad that day. If one person views your ad upon arriving on the front page of the site, then views it four more times while turning the various pages on the site, another website would count that as five hits.... not us. We will count that as one person, therefore, one impression only.

SLAdS uses four different websites for our banner advertisements and displays banners in two different sizes on those sites.

http://www.gridgrind.com - The Second Life Grid Grind - All the news, info, gossip, and gab on the Second Life grid. - A website with several writers, all dedicated to providing entertaining information, opinions, and stories all about Second Life.
http://www.allanadion.com - Second By Second - Random ramblings and musings of two lives lived
http://www.my-slnews.com - My SLnews - A live feed of all the different news sources, entertainment sites, discussion forums, and blogs about Second Life from all over the web.
http://www.my-sl.com - My SL - Discussion Forums, stories, event calendar, Second Life Adult Friend Finder, and community site dedicated to the Second Life community.

You can even choose whether you want your banner ads to appear on all four websites or just your favorites.

Banner ads that appear at the top of each page of each website are 150 pixels by 150 pixels square. Banner ads that appear on the side columns of each page of each website are 150 pixels wide by 300 pixels long. All we need from you to run your ad, is a Jpeg image of your store logo or other image of your choosing in one or both of those sizes and an SLurl to your store location.
