Exclusive Research Here is an eye-opening study I conducted that estimates what some companies are paying to the magazines for full-page ads. Fractional page ads scale roughly in cost. Magazines are rarely opened and most print ads are never seen. Print media is dying as more and more people get their information from the Internet. |

There are three basic plans available. All include some variation of the following: Highlighted ad located on as many as 10 Vendor pages (like the one to the right) for which your company provides products and/or services (areas 1 and 2 to the right). Ad height can be up to 400 pixels. If your offering does not qualify for an appearance on the full number of Vendor pages, then the remaining allocation of pages will have just your linked logo at the top as a sponsor of the page. Most non-vendor pages quality; e.g., any of the References, Special Interest, or Resources pages. You can choose them, I or can do it for you <example>. Hyperlinked logo in the right border of every RF Cafe webpage (6, 7 or 8). All hyperlinks go directly to YOUR website.
Specifically, the 3 plans feature... Standard Highlighted Ads Your highlighted ad and/or logo for $20 per MONTH (appearance on up to 5 pages), or $25 per MONTH (appearance on up to 10 pages) Ads will be similar to those marked as 2 on the right. Your linked logo is the only graphic included in the ad. Your hyperlinked logo is included in the right border of every RF Cafe page (8). It shares a position with typically 6 to 8 other logos.

| Pages on which your highlighted advertisement may appear are up to
you, with the following rules applied: You must provide a product or service directly related to the vendor page theme - no exceptions. For example, if you make RF filters, the Filter Links page is appropriate, but the Test Equipment Links page is not, because although the filters can be used in test setups they are not really test equipment. If a visitor needs a filter for a test setup, he will know to look on the Filter Links page. Each page counts as one (1) page in your advertising plan. Besides vendor link pages, you are welcome to sponsor any page on RF Cafe except the homepage. However, only your logo (with hyperlink to your website) will be placed on those pages at the top, just below the page title. Each page counts as one (1) page in your advertising plan. In order to avoid the possibility of a cluttered or biased presentation, the total number of appearances for any company will be 10 pages.
