NOTE: Each "package" is for ONE ad graphic only -- we
do not change out covers/ads/banners during the advertising run time (i.e. if
you purchase a six month ad run package, we will run the same ad graphic for six
months). Additionally, 1 month = 4 calendar weeks, 2 months = 8 calendar weeks, etc.

A Note about Website Visitor Statistics:
Please note -- In order for
you to accurately understand what kind of traffic a website gets,
you should inquire about "VISITORS" and not
about "HITS". Websites who report "hits" are
inaccurately reporting their stats, because the number of "hits" does
not represent the number of people visiting and viewing your ad.
Here is the definition of a "hit" (from
Webopedia):
The retrieval of any item, like
a page or a graphic, from a Web server. For example, when a visitor
calls up a Web page with four graphics, that's five hits,
one for the page and four for the graphics. For this reason, hits
often aren't a good indication of web traffic.
Therefore a graphics heavy site (i.e.
one who hosts many cover ads) could potentially have 100+ "hits" for
each person who visits one page. If the same person visits ten
graphics heavy pages, it could account for 1,000 "hits". But
your ad is only being seen by ONE person.
About Our Visitor Stats:
As of 7/10/10, The Long and the Short
of It receives more than 500 visitors daily, with more than 1500
daily page views. |

Your book video featured on the front door of whichever site is appropriate: LASR for non-erotic, Whipped Cream for erotic.
The video is placed on the bottom center of the home page, and just
below the author spotlight question, so anyone who enters the contest will see it. Additionally, we'll offer contest entries to people who answer a question based on the
video, ensuring that the video is viewed.
Note: The purchased days will not run consecutively. We've found that viewers get bored from seeing the same thing daily. The video will be scheduled once
a week for seven weeks. The dates will be determined by space availability.
Purchaser must supply the embed code and one question answerable by
the video content for each day purchased.
