Our dynamic and growing audience includes influential journalists, politicians, and opinion makers. According to blog advertising marketing surveys, like those conducted by Blogads, Blog readers are older and more affluent than average internet users. And they spend their money online, too:

• 50% have spent more than $50 online on books.
• 47% have spent more than $500 online for plane tickets.
• 50% have contributed more than $50 to a cause or candidate, and 5% have contributed more than $1000. (Only 25% of NYTimes.com readers have contributed anything online in the last year.)

These are the people your QandO advertising reaches!

QandO has a substantial amount of traffic. For the March 1 - 14 Apr, 2006, time period, our traffic averaged 17,335 unique visitors a day. That's well over a half- million visitors per month! That's more that 500,000 pairs of eyes seeing your ad every month!

We offer two placement options with two banner sizes.

Premium Placement

Your ad will be placed as one of no more than two banner ads at the very top of the QandO Ad strip that appears on every page. This guarantees you above-the-fold placement on the main QandO home page, and top ad placement on every other page. Prices for premium placement are as follows:

• 125x300 banner, placed as the top ad- $75
• 125x125 banner - $40 per month
• 125x60 banner - $25 per month

Standard Placement

Your ad will be placed in the Ad strip immediately below the Blogads ad strip. Placement location with competing ads will be determined on a first-come, first served basis. Prices for Standard placement are as follows:

• 125x300 banner, placed as the top ad- $45
• 125x125 banner - $25 per month
• 125x60 banner - $15 per month

Banners may be in JPG, GIF, Animated GIF, or SWF format. Each banner must have a file size of less than 50kb, and must match our banner sizes exactly.

If you do not already have an advertising banner, we can create banners for you, at a cost of $100 per banner, which will be billed separately from the other advertising costs. The banner will be your property, to use for any other advertising you wish, and you will receive the banner both as the GIF output file, and the original Fireworks PNG file (or photoshop PSD format if you prefer)..
